Flagpole Installation Kings provides flagpole installation, flagpole replacement, and wall-mounted flag pole installation services nationwide for both residential and commercial properties, from 20 foot yard poles to tall commercial poles. Contact us now for a free estimate.
Flagpole installation costs anywhere from $500 to $2,000 on average for a residential in-ground pole of 20 to 25 feet, with the pole included. The price depends on the pole height and material, sectional or one-piece design, internal or external halyard, soil and site access, and whether an old pole has to come out first.
Yes, we install flagpoles at houses, businesses, schools, churches, and other commercial properties. Let us know the property type and the pole height you have in mind.
Yes, in most cases. Send us your address and we'll confirm coverage.
Yes, we install poles that customers buy themselves. Send us the brand, height, and installation sheet so we can follow the maker's foundation and sleeve specs.
Most installs can be booked once the pole is on site and 811 has marked the underground utilities, which usually takes a few business days.
We need the address, the pole height and type, whether you already have the pole, and photos of the spot where it will go. Mention any sprinklers, rock, slopes, or concrete nearby.
No, as long as we can reach the spot and you've approved the location. It helps to be there when we mark the exact placement before digging.
Yes, in some towns. Some want a permit for any new pole, others only above a set height or for commercial poles, and many cap residential pole height. Your local building or zoning office decides, and we can tell you what's usually required.
No, not from flying the American flag, since federal law bars an HOA from banning it. An HOA can still set reasonable rules on where and how the flag is displayed, which often covers pole height and placement, so check your guidelines before we order the pole.
Yes, we confirm the price before starting. If we hit rock, buried concrete, or an old footing once we dig, we talk to you before doing any extra work.
We finish most residential installs in one day of work. The concrete usually needs 24 to 48 hours to cure before the pole goes in, so some jobs take two visits, and large commercial poles can take several days.
Yes, a small telescoping pole is a fair weekend project. One-piece, sectional, and taller poles are harder, because a sleeve set slightly off plumb leaves the pole leaning for good.
Most homes suit a 20 to 25 foot pole. Single-story houses usually look right with 18 to 25 feet, and two-story houses with 25 to 30 feet.
We place it so the flag can't reach the roof, gutters, lights, or trees. A common guideline is at least one and a half times the flag's length from anything it could hit.
No, not within reach of one. We keep the pole at least its full height plus 10 feet from overhead lines, since people have been electrocuted when a flagpole touched a line during raising or removal.
About 10% of the pole's height, plus a gravel layer under the sleeve. A 20 foot pole usually needs a hole about 30 inches deep and 20 to 24 inches wide, and we follow the manufacturer's specs when they call for more.
Yes, we mount flag brackets and house poles on siding, trim, columns, and brick. Masonry takes different anchors than wood framing, so tell us what the wall is made of and how high you'd like it.
Yes, and most of the work is setting the ground sleeve plumb in concrete.
Yes, we install one-piece aluminum poles. They have no joints to loosen, but taller ones ship by freight, so tell us when yours is due and whether someone can sign for it.
Yes, we assemble sectional poles and check that every joint seats fully.
Yes, we install internal halyard poles. The rope runs inside the pole, so it's quieter and the flag is harder to steal, but setup takes longer and can add to the cost.
Yes, we can mount a solar light on top while the pole is being set, which is much easier than adding one later with a lift. Hardwired ground spotlights are another option.
Yes, we install commercial poles. Tall ones need a larger engineered footing, several installers, and a boom truck or crane, so tell us the height and whether a truck can reach the spot.
Yes, we install outrigger poles that stick out from a building wall. The wall material, mounting height, and any reinforcement the wall needs decide the hardware and whether we bring a lift.
Yes, we remove the old pole and install the new one. Tell us the height and age of the old pole and whether it sits in a sleeve or was buried straight in concrete.
Yes, we take down the pole and break out or pull the concrete base. Removal is quoted on its own, since large commercial footings can hold several cubic yards of concrete.
Yes, if the old footing and sleeve are sound and sized for the new pole. A decades-old foundation often isn't, and then we pour a new one.
Yes, we fix leaning poles. Sometimes the pole just needs re-plumbing in its sleeve and tightening, but a cracked or settled footing has to be redone.
Yes, but it means pulling the pole, removing or abandoning the old footing, and pouring a new one. A new pole sometimes costs about the same, so we'll give you both prices.
Yes, we space them at least 1.5 times the largest flag's length apart.
No, we request the 811 locate before we dig. It's free and marks gas, electric, water, and communication lines, but not private lines like sprinklers or landscape lighting, so point those out to us.
Yes, we can core drill the slab for a sleeve or bolt a surface-mount base to it. Tell us how thick the concrete is and what's under it.
Yes, though rock adds digging time, and clay that holds water needs a good gravel bed under the sleeve.
Yes, we set the sleeve plumb rather than following the grade, and shape the ground so water drains away from the footing.
Yes, but exposed sites need a heavier pole, a larger footing, and sometimes a smaller flag. Fiberglass or anodized aluminum holds up best in salt air.
Yes, in most cases, as long as the ground isn't frozen where we pour. Cold slows the concrete cure, so the pole may go in a few days later than in summer.
A PVC or galvanized steel ground sleeve, a gravel base for drainage, and concrete around the sleeve. On larger poles we plumb the pole with wedges, fill the sleeve with dry sand, and cap it with cement.
No, not a permanent in-ground pole. A sleeve in plain soil tends to lean in wind and many manufacturers require concrete, so we only use ground spikes or screws for small temporary poles.
Aluminum is the most common choice and resists rust. Fiberglass won't rust at all and flexes in wind, which is why many people pick it near the coast.
Yes, in many cases, especially tall or exposed metal poles. Whether one is required comes down to the pole maker's instructions and your local code, and we add a copper-clad rod when either calls for it.
A flag about a quarter of the pole's height looks right. A 20 foot pole usually takes a 3x5 foot flag and a 25 foot pole a 4x6.
Yes, hauling away the extra dirt and packaging is normally part of the job.
We work all over the country, including these cities:
