Project description
I want to have a flagpole properly installed in the front yard of my house, and I am looking for an experienced technician who has done this kind of work before. The pole is about 20 feet tall, aluminum, and I already purchased it along with the mounting hardware, so this job is specifically about the installation itself, not sourcing materials. I would like the option of either an in-ground sleeve mount set in concrete, or a wall-mounted bracket system attached to the porch column, and I am open to hearing which approach you think will hold up better given the height of the pole and the amount of wind we get in this area.
The main thing I care about is that the flagpole stands perfectly plumb and stays that way for years, not just on installation day. I have seen poles in the neighborhood that lean within a season because the sleeve was not set deep enough or the concrete was poured unevenly, and I do not want that outcome. I also need the halyard and pulley system checked and adjusted so the rope runs smoothly and the flag does not tangle, and I would like the base area finished neatly so it does not look like a construction site was left in my yard afterward.
Here is what I expect from whoever takes this job:
— Confirm whether an in-ground sleeve or a wall bracket is the right choice for my situation before starting
— Dig and set the sleeve in concrete (or drill and anchor the bracket) so the pole is level and firmly secured
— Use a level throughout to verify the pole is perfectly vertical from multiple angles
— Install and test the halyard, cleat, and any lighting or ornament fittings
— Clean up all digging debris, packaging, and leftover concrete before leaving
