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

125 to 150

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.

Why would you want a telescoping flag pole in the first place?

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.

I went to same place 2 years ago and got it done for around $200

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.
