Painting

When Is Climbing Necessary?
While our aerial trucks handle most flagpoles, climbing is necessary when:
- The pole is located on a rooftop or hard-to-access site
- The location restricts vehicle or lift access
- The pole height exceeds truck reach
- Rooftop flagpoles lack external halyards and require internal inspection
Our climbing team is fully trained, insured, and ready for all building heights and flagpole types.
