Who Knew Installing a Mailbox Could Be So Complicated?
Here’s how we make sure your mailbox installation is done right with our 6-step process, carried out to the highest standards, and at very competitive prices.

1. Mailbox Location Placement

2. Installation Timeframe

3. Choosing a Mailbox Style

Before we even start digging, we look at:
We then review the current situation:
We help you find the mailbox that fits your needs:
  • Roadside placement and traffic flow
  • Soil type (rocky, sandy, soft, or frozen)
  • The risk of damage by plows, cars, or people
  • Then determine if a concrete or soil base makes sense
  • Current weather conditions and site preparation
  • Consider the many soil conditions and frost line
  • Determine if a temporary mailbox is necessary
  • Install the post and finish the job once everything is ready
  • Maintenance free or decorative
  • Indestructible or a security mailbox
  • Plastic or galvanized metal construction
  • Standard or a large capacity “Next Generation” mailbox
Every mailbox site is different because of the location, and we make sure your mailbox stands strong through it all.
Our goal is to always meet your immediate needs. But weather and product availability are always a factor during an install.
From basic to bold, from decorative to secure, we will help you choose what works best for you and your mail.

4. Mailbox Post Anchor

Suggest the mounting style based on placement:
  • Mailbox Location and accessibility
  • Concrete base for maximum durability
  • Soil & gravel base for lighter setups
We typically set the post 24 inches deep for solid, sturdy support. Concrete is usually recommended.

5. Suitable Mailbox Post

Help you pick your preferred post support:
  • 4”x4” treated wood post
  • 2” steel or aluminum pipe
  • 2” square breakaway post
Whatever you choose, we’ll make sure it’s level, secure, safe, and meets USPS height standards.

6. Cost, Longevity, or Style

Tell us which statement best fits your priority:
  • “I need a mailbox solution that fits my budget.”
  • “Give me a durable setup built to last.”
  • “I want the best-looking mailbox on the street.”
Whatever your budget, we’ll recommend a mailbox installation that delivers durability and value.

Mailbox Height Requirements in New York: Laws, Standards, Recommendations

Even mailboxes have rules - and we make sure yours follows them all. Installing a mailbox isn’t as simple as it looks - but that’s why we’re here.

USPS Requirements in New York

  • Must display the USPS-approved seal
  • Must meet size, material, and placement standards
  • Must show your address number on the side or front
  • Custom mailboxes should be approved by your local postmaster

FHWA Recommendations

  • Roadside mailboxes should use breakaway supports that bend or fall if hit and not create hazards for vehicles.

LOCAL City and County Building Codes

  • Some cities and counties have their own mailbox rules or require permits — we’ll help you figure out what’s needed before installation.
From placement and materials to local codes and USPS standards, we handle it all, so your mailbox is safe, solid, and built to last.
Be assured that after all the above considerations, you make the final decision as to what best fits your residential or business needs and desires.

Why We Ask for a Photo of Your Current Mailbox Setup
Before we begin your mailbox repair or installation, we request a photo of your existing mailbox, post base, and surrounding area. With hundreds of possible construction methods, a quick look helps us determine the most efficient and cost-effective approach for your project.
Often, parts of your existing setup can be reused - saving you both time and money. For example, if your concrete foundation is still solid, we may be able to:
  • Reuse it by removing the old post and installing a new replacement post
  • Install a surface mount post with a new mailbox when necessary or possible
  • Salvage existing components when possible
Our goal is to provide a quality hassle-free installation while minimizing unnecessary expenses.
