About Us

​

Bates Flags & Flagpoles, LLC is a locally owned small business proudly serving the Sun Coast of Florida since 2013. Originally established in 1978 in Port Charlotte, FL, the Bates name has long stood for high-quality American-made flags and flagpoles, and that tradition continues under our ownership.

​

What began as a part-time venture has grown into a full-time, full-service flag and flagpole business thanks to strong community support and a shared passion for quality and service. Our founders, Diana and Mario, built this business with dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to personal, old-fashioned customer care.

​

We specialize in superior, American-made products—including our own line of custom-built BATES Commercial Grade Flagpoles, proudly made in the USA (excluding solar lights). Each flagpole is constructed to commercial standards and has withstood even Florida’s toughest hurricanes. Our service area has grown from Port Charlotte to as far south as Naples, and we now ship nationwide within the continental U.S.

​

At Bates Flags & Flagpoles, we believe America's symbols should be made in America. We offer personalized guidance for each customer to ensure you get exactly what you need—no pressure, no automated sales, and no one-size-fits-all service.

​

As a token of our gratitude, we offer Veteran & First Responder Discounts—our way of saying thank you for your service to our country and communities.

​

Whether you’re looking for a residential flagpole, a custom solution for your business, or repair services, we’re here to help. We look forward to continuing to serve you with integrity, reliability, and pride in every flag we raise.
