Mailbox Repair

What You Get

This service fixes actual damage. Not cosmetic stuff, but real problems that make your mailbox unusable or unsafe. We repair or replace what's broken and make it solid.

Complete Process

• Damage Assessment: Figure out exactly what's broken and what needs replacing
• Post Replacement: New 4x4 treated post if yours is rotted, broken, or can't be salvaged
• Box Reattachment: Remount your box securely, or mount a replacement if needed
• Wood Rot Repair: Cut out rotted sections, replace with treated lumber
• Concrete Stabilization: Dig out and reset in concrete if it's leaning or loose
• Hardware Replacement: All new mounting brackets, bolts, screws as needed
• Full Repaint: Complete paint job on everything we touched
• Haul-Away: We take all the old busted materials with us

When You Need This Service

You need a repair if your mailbox has structural damage:

• Got hit by a car, truck, or snow plow
• Post is leaning, wobbly, or falling over
• Wood is rotting at ground level
• Mailbox is falling off the post
• Post snapped or cracked
• Concrete foundation failed
• Animal damage or major weather damage

If it's just cosmetic and the structure is solid, you probably only need a Refresh ($60). Call us and we'll tell you what you actually need.

Materials We Use

• Pressure-treated 4x4 posts (rated for ground contact)
• Quikrete fast-setting concrete mix
• Marine-grade stainless steel hardware
• Exterior-grade paint and primer
• Treated lumber for any wood replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use my existing mailbox?

If it's in good shape, yes. If it's dented or broken, we'll let you know if it's worth keeping or if you need a replacement.

How long does the concrete take to cure?

We use fast-set concrete. Firm in 24 hours, fully cured in 48. We'll tell the mail carrier it's good to use after 24 hours.

What if it needs more work than expected?

We'll call you before doing anything beyond the quoted work. No surprise charges.

Do you work in bad weather?

We can do most work in light rain. Heavy storms or freezing temps, we'll reschedule. Concrete won't set properly below 40 degrees.

Will my mailbox be USPS compliant after repair?

Yes. We make sure height, setback, and stability meet USPS regulations.
