While curb appeal matters, durability is key. We install systems designed to handle the rocky soil and weather conditions of Central NH.

Proper Depth: We dig deep and use gravel for drainage to prevent frost heave, which causes leaning posts in the spring.
Solid Setting: We use fast-setting concrete or crushed stone (depending on soil conditions) to lock the post in place.
Rot Resistance: We use ground-contact lumber or rot-proof materials to ensure the base stays solid for years.

We Handle the Details

Installing a mailbox seems simple, but hitting a utility line is a nightmare. As a professional service, we ensure the job is safe and compliant.

USPS Compliance

We measure twice to ensure your box is set back 6″ to 8″ from the curb, keeping it safe from traffic while remaining accessible to the mail carrier for daily delivery without issues.

Mounting Boards

We replace the rotting mounting board under the metal box with a pressure-treated base, fixing the most common reason for a “floppy” mailbox and ensuring a solid connection.

The Installation Process: Simple & Stress-Free

We typically operate on a labor-only basis, which saves you money on material markups.

Select

Decide whether you want a pressure-treated wood, vinyl, or granite post. If you are unsure what will best withstand your soil conditions or the snow plow, we can advise you.

Purchase

You pick out the post and box style you love from your local store. If you choose a heavy granite post that won’t fit in your vehicle, we can pick it up and deliver it on installation day.

Install

We arrive, remove the old post, and professionally install the new one, ensuring it is anchored securely and meets all USPS height regulations for reliable delivery.

Common Questions About Mailbox Install

We believe in clear communication and no surprises. Here are answers to the most common questions homeowners ask about replacing their mailbox.

Yes. Granite is incredibly popular in NH for its durability and aesthetic. Because granite is heavy, we take extra care to ensure the hole is dug to the proper depth and backfilled correctly so the heavy stone doesn’t lean over time.

Absolutely. If the 4×4 post is solid, we can remove the old dented metal box and the rotting wood mounting plate. We will install a new sturdy mounting board and the new mailbox of your choice (Standard, Jumbo, or Locking).

Yes, but it depends. If the ground is frozen solid, we may need to wait for a thaw or use specialized equipment. However, if your post was snapped by a plow, we can often perform a temporary emergency repair or mount a temporary stand until the ground thaws enough to dig a proper footing.

Most customers prefer to pick out their own mailbox style (black, white, bronze, etc.) from a local store. We can pick it up for you if needed, or simply provide the labor and installation materials (post, concrete, brackets) if you have the box ready.
