Before installing a post mount mailbox, it’s important to gather all necessary tools and materials. We arrive with everything needed, but here’s what’s typically used:

• Mailbox post and box (pre-approved design)
• Quick-set concrete or mounting bracket kit
• Level, drill, and post-hole digger
• Measuring tape and weatherproof hardware

For older units, we also bring replacement parts and spare keys if needed.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Our installation process follows USPS and Sugar Land HOA guidelines to the letter:

1. Choose the correct location, 6–8 inches from the curb and 41–45 inches in height
2. Dig a post hole approximately 24 inches deep
3. Set the post using quick-set concrete for stability
4. Once set, attach the mailbox to the post with weatherproof screws
5. Install any optional features like house numbers or lights
6. Test the lock and make sure the door opens/closes smoothly

If we’re replacing an older box, we handle safe removal and disposal.

When to Replace vs. Repair
