Flagpoles in Quincy

A city of peninsular neighbourhoods with a redeveloping centre, a marina district on a former naval air station, and the old shipyard on the Fore River behind it. We cover Quincy and the Norfolk County area, including Quincy Center and the Hancock-Adams Common, Adams National Historical Park and the United First Parish Church, Wollaston Beach and Quincy Shore Drive, Marina Bay and Squantum, Houghs Neck and Germantown, the Fore River Shipyard and the Quincy Quarries.

Wind here. Quincy sits in a harbour-facing and granite-floored area, which works out to roughly 120 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Quincy is granite under the grass, and that moves the cost into the hole rather than the pole. The stone the quarries were cutting from the 1820s onward is the ledge under much of the city, and on the higher ground in West Quincy it is close enough to the surface that an auger stops dead and the job becomes coring or breaking. We would far rather find that in a test hole than with a truck standing idle. Then there is water on three sides: Houghs Neck, Squantum, Adams Shore and Germantown are peninsulas with open fetch across Quincy Bay and Boston Harbor, no shelter and constant salt, so out there we specify anodized rather than satin, and bronze or stainless at every moving part. One more thing worth knowing early is that Wollaston Beach and the strip along Quincy Shore Drive are Quincy Shore Reservation and belong to the state DCR rather than the city, which makes anything near that line a different application altogether.

Most of the people who call us from Quincy are condominium and marina associations, restaurants and waterfront retail, city facilities and fire houses, schools, churches, veterans posts and medical offices.
