Flagpoles in Stamford

A corporate headquarters city with a real high-rise downtown, a rebuilt waterfront in the South End and big wooded lots north of the Merritt Parkway. We cover Stamford and the Fairfield County area, including the office core along Tresser Boulevard and Atlantic Street, the Stamford Transportation Center, Harbor Point and the South End, Mill River Park, Shippan Point, Cove Island, Springdale and Glenbrook, UConn Stamford and the Merritt Parkway through North Stamford.

Wind here. Stamford sits in a high-rise coastal 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. Stamford runs a fuller land-use process than the size of the job suggests. The Zoning Board approves the site and architectural plan before anything goes up, and any site inside the state coastal boundary needs a coastal site plan as well, so a downtown or South End application crosses several desks rather than one. Wind is a flat 120 mph over the whole city, the same figure as Hartford, and the least interesting number in a Stamford quote. What varies is the ground. Harbor Point and the South End are rebuilt industrial waterfront, where the footing is engineered from what the borings show; a North Stamford site can stop the auger a few feet down and turn a morning's work into a day's.

Most of the people who call us from Stamford are corporate headquarters and office towers, hotels and conference space, banks and law offices, condominium and apartment associations, private schools, houses of worship and waterfront clubs.
