Thinking of having a telescoping flag pole installed in my front yard. What should I expect to pay for the pole and installation? Ball park number.

This is who we used. Great guy. Stands behind his product and installations. You’re looking around $400 -$450. You can’t even buy the flagpole for what he comes and installs it for. He even does the ARC paperwork.

Wow if truly bronze it is likely designed for use in a salt water environment. Stainless steel would likely cost less.

It’s made from 13gauge aluminum. It just has a bronze finish. You can also get them in black or silver.

Paul Roberts bought Village Flagpoles from Therm Nichols last year. Last November he installed our flagpole with a 4 x 6 nylon American flag and an American eagle topper. I highly recommend him. You can call him for a price.

You might need approval from the committee.

You do need ARC approval, at least we did. I think I printed a form and filled it out. Paul Roberts added to it and submitted it for approval.

There was an add in the paper just the other day from "The Flag Pole Guy" advertising 20 foot telescoping pole with flag installed for $169. Add solar light for $60. Does not mention ARC work. 352-301-3483.

Flagpoles are definitely not something I would go cheap on.

In June 2020, we used Flag and Flag Poles, 352-751-1876. It’s on the east side of 441 just south of 466. We paid approximately $185 for the telescoping 20’ pole and flag. He provides you the number of the installer he recommends and you call to schedule an appointment- it cost $69 paid directly to the installer.
I would get the ARC approval before scheduling appointment for installation. The ARC paperwork is super easy to get and fill out - the community standards people can tell you were to get your site plan and you just print out the application and sight plan and either drop it office at Lake Sumter office or mail it in.
They email you back the answer and mail you back the paperwork with the approval- I put in my safe deposit box.

Buy the pole kit off line, get a galvanized fence, post two bags of concrete, set the post and slide the flagpole over the fence post and you’re done! Then go buy a good Flag that will last a season for like $65

Most people will sell a thin wall flagpole. If you want quality and long term, 10-11 gauge. Expensive but will outlast you. Expect to pay $225+ for the pole plus installation. Installation is easily done by the homeowner but would add about $75 to cost.

My Husband brought his. The pole refused to stay up upon installation. We brought it back and he wanted to charge a repair fee. The pole bent in the wind and we just disposed of it. FYI not a good experience from the place on 441 south of 466.
Amazon prices $70 - $400. Wind is strong down here and often without warning. Choose carefully. One neighbor's sheared off, ours bent (useless after)
FYI - ARC approval needed for location

Had one done about 3 yrs ago. It cost about $150-$200. My landscaper was doing major work and did the install for free. After installing the telescoping pole, I converted it a rope/pulley system. I got tired of struggling with raising and lowering the entire pole to get the flag in half staff positions.

We had Nichols put ours in like six years ago. Realize he has retired as his replacement did a warrantee repair for us. He does get the paperwork and does stand behind the installation. Can’t always say that about people outside the villages. If you are concerned about prices call and get an estimate but I think you’ll find him to be as reasonable as anyone and I also think you will be happy with the job.

Therm used to have pics and actual samples of cheap flagpoles that people called him to replace.

Therm is no longer in business. He “sold” business to a guy named Rich who was advertising in paper as the flag pole guy. He put in a pole of inferior quality and now will not return calls.

Not true. Therm sold the business to Paul Roberts who uses the same poles that Therm did.

As of this past November, Therm Nichols had retired and sold his flag pole business to Paul Roberts. Paul installed a flag pole for me that was superior in quality, as was the nylon flag. I ordered an Eagle topper from him, he delivered it and installed it in a timely manner. It appears you are mistaking Paul Roberts for the guy on 27/441, who through a Google search appears to be named Richard.

Sorry that you had a bad experience.
Mine has been very good for three flag poles at different homes after 12 years. He does suggest that you take the flag down during strong storms. I take mine down only when there is a hurricane warning.
My Husband brought his. The pole refused to stay up upon installation. We brought it back and he wanted to charge a repair fee. The pole bent in the wind and we just disposed of it. FYI not a good experience from the place on 441 south of 466.
