Villages Flags installed ours and did a great job. Don’t know about other providers but sometimes you get what you pay for. 🙃😉

Make sure you're comparing apples to apples. He installed our flagpole for less than we could have bought the pole straight from the manufacturer.

Why do people feel a need to display a flag on their property when there are so many flags on public buildings. OK, it’s allowed but if everyone displayed their chosen flag imagine how tacky a neighborhood would look.
