Mailbox Repair

Mailbox repair and restoration

Knocked down, leaning, rusty or faded, most mailboxes can be fixed instead of replaced. We reset posts, replace doors and inserts, and repaint mailboxes with new numbers. Text a photo for a fast quote.

Mailbox restoration

Fast service on faded and chipped mailboxes. We repaint them with new numbers or letters, and all metal finishes are available. A restoration includes:

✓
Removal of the mailbox
✓
Post system cleaning
✓
Light sanding or wire brushing
✓
Primer coat
✓
Glossy or flat paint
✓
New numbers to match your old ones

We follow neighborhood standards and HOA rules for color and numbers, and we can refresh every mailbox on a street to the same finish.

Brick and stone mailboxes

On a brick mailbox, it is usually the door or the metal insert that fails, not the brick itself. We fit new doors and inserts to your existing column, re-set loose brick, repair mortar joints and caps, and put your address plaque back on. To quote from a photo, send the width, height and depth of the opening and whether the top is arched or square.

Repair or replace?

Repair makes sense when the post is solid and only the door, flag or mounting is damaged, or when paint is faded but the metal is sound. Replace when the post has rotted where it meets the dirt, the box is crushed or rusted through, or your HOA has moved to a new standard. Mark tells you which one is the better spend before he starts.

How a repair works

Back to looking right

Most repairs are quoted from a photo and done in one visit.

Step 01

Send a photo

Text a photo of the damage and your address. For brick mailboxes, add the size of the opening.

Step 02

Fix or replace

If the post and box are sound, Mark repairs them. If not, he will say so and quote a replacement instead, before any work starts.

Step 03

Finished

Mailbox re-hung level at the right height, painted and numbered to match the street.
