A Family Tradition Since 1947

Veteran With a Dream.

Flagman of America was built by a World War II veteran who believed quality mattered. And that doing things the right way still means something.

In 1947, after returning home from service in World War II, Rhuben Dimesky started a small sign company built on hard work, craftsmanship, and pride in country. Not long after, he began making and selling flags by hand.

In the early days, Rhuben personally delivered orders door-to-door. His customers began calling him “the Flagman.”

The name stuck, and so did the reputation.

Built by Hand. Backed by Pride.

What started as one man’s work grew into something much bigger.

Rhuben assembled a team of skilled seamstresses and craftsmen to produce custom flags and banners of exceptional quality. Over time, Flagman expanded into:

American, state, and international flags
Custom and racing flags
Flagpoles and accessories
Professional flagpole installation and repair

From wood poles to aluminum and fiberglass systems, we’ve evolved with the times, but never compromised on quality.

Passed Down To The Next Generation

In the 1970s, the business was passed to Rhuben’s son, David Dimesky, and his wife Annette.

They modernized operations, expanded product lines, and embraced new technology, while keeping the core values intact:

👉 Treat customers right

👉 Deliver quality that lasts

👉 Stand behind every product

Flagman of America remains family-owned and operated

In 2014, the next generation stepped in. Jordan, David’s grandson, and James, David’s nephew, proudly continue the legacy built by those before them.

But continuing the legacy didn’t mean standing still.

Over the past decade, they have worked to modernize and strengthen every part of the business, from rebuilding the showroom and web experiences, to improving internal systems, policies, warranties, and customer service from the ground up.

Today, Flagman of America combines over 75 years of experience with a renewed commitment to doing things the right way, offering better products, better service, and a better overall experience for customers across the country.

Third Generation, Flagman of America

Trusted by Tens of Thousands of Customers Across the Country

One of the best customer service experiences i've had. We had a very tall flag installed (I think it's about 30 ft) in our backyard and as soon as they left I regretted the height and thought it looked like it belonged at an elementary school. I didnt think they would be able to do anything because this flag is CEMENTED in. We contacted Flagman of America and they responded immediately, dont worry we will change anything you want but* leave it for a day or two and then get back to us....... I fell in love with the flag and they were right I just needed to get used to it. It adds such character to our house and they did an amazing job with the install as well. Id recommend to anyone!
