Mailbox and post installation
New curbside mailboxes, Imperial systems, decorative posts and address plates, set solid and level at the height your mail carrier needs. Mark has done it since 1987.
Every install includes
Imperial mailbox systems
Mark is a certified Imperial installer. Imperial systems are cast aluminum, so they do not rust like steel boxes, and they come in decorative styles with matching posts, bases, finials and address plates in black, bronze or green. Many neighborhoods name an Imperial style in their rules, and we install them one home at a time or a whole street at once.
Wood, aluminum or decorative posts
A wood 4x4 post costs less and looks classic, but it needs paint and can rot at the ground line. Aluminum costs more up front and will not rot or rust. Decorative posts add scrolls, finials and fluted bases. If your HOA names a post, that is the one we set, deep enough that it stays straight.
Numbers, plates and lettering
Because we are a sign shop, the numbers are made in-house: cut vinyl in any color, size or font, brass numerals, cast aluminum address plaques and plates for brick columns. We can add your name or street too, and match the style your neighbors already have.
Locking and wall-mount mailboxes
For packages, offices and rentals, we install tamper-resistant locking mailboxes on posts and wall-hanging boxes for porches and storefronts.

Where a curbside mailbox has to sit
A carrier can skip a mailbox that is set wrong. These are the Postal Service curbside rules every install meets.
Height
Measured from the road surface, the bottom of the box or the mail slot sits 41 to 45 inches high.
Setback
The front of the mailbox door sits 6 to 8 inches behind the curb face or road edge.
Approved box
New curbside boxes should carry the “Approved by the Postmaster General” label. Building a custom box? Your local postmaster has to sign off.
Numbers
Your house number goes on the mailbox in a contrasting color, at least 1 inch tall.
