Flagpoles in Sterling Heights

The fourth-largest city in the state and mostly new: an assembly plant and its supplier parks at one end, six lanes of retail through the middle and subdivisions either side of that. We cover Sterling Heights and the Macomb County area, including the Hall Road corridor along M-59, the assembly plant and the Van Dyke and Mound Road supplier parks, the Lakeside Mall redevelopment site, Dodge Park and the Clinton River, Metro Parkway, and Utica and Shelby Township next door.

Wind here. Sterling Heights sits in a flat, open suburban area, which works out to roughly 105 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. Sterling Heights is flat, new and open, and that matters more here than the map does. Nothing stands upwind of a pole in a Hall Road car park or out on a supplier lot, so those get the open-country treatment rather than the sheltered suburban one a moderate figure suggests. Hall Road brings a second question with it: a pole set close to M-59 falls inside the city's sign and setback rules, so the ordinance gets checked at quoting rather than on the day. Underneath is Macomb County lake plain, wet clay that drains slowly. And the old Lakeside Mall site is coming down and going back up as a mixed-use centre, where new ground usually means fill, and fill means the footing gets sized off a soil report instead of off the height of the pole.

Most of the people who call us from Sterling Heights are assembly and supplier plants, retail and dealership frontage on Hall Road, medical and professional offices, school districts, churches, subdivision and condominium associations and city facilities.
