These are starting prices for standard installations. Your final price may vary depending on the mailbox selected, existing post condition, removal requirements, ground conditions, and installation method. If site conditions permit, we remove and replace the existing post base. When a concrete base is in good condition, we can drill out the old post and install the new one using our precision boring process. In cases where the original post is permanently set in concrete, we cut it down as low as possible, cover it with soil, and install a new concrete base alongside it when feasible.
All installations are performed to USPS height and setback requirements, using durable materials designed to withstand Buffalo, New York weather.
Affordable, fast, professional mailbox installation and repair services throughout Erie and Niagara County, including Buffalo, Amherst, Clarence, Williamsville, Lancaster, Cheektowaga, Depew, West Seneca, Hamburg, and surrounding communities.

What Affects the Cost of Mailbox Installation?

  • The Mailbox You Choose - A basic mailbox is less expensive than a heavy-duty, locking, decorative, oversized, or specialty mailbox.
  • The Mailbox Post - Pressure-treated wood, steel, red cedar and decorative posts have different material and installation costs. Heavier security mailboxes may also require additional support.
  • Installing a New Post or Mounting System - Replacing an existing post is different from installing a completely new mailbox system.
  • Removal of the Existing Mailbox Post - A leaning mailbox is easy. A post surrounded by concrete, a damaged post or an old installation that must be removed can require additional labor.
  • Ground and Site Conditions - Rocky soil, roots, buried concrete and difficult digging conditions can affect installation time.
  • The Installation Location - A straightforward curbside installation is different from a custom, decorative or specialty installation.

Often, parts of your existing setup can be reused—saving you both time and money. For example, if 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
