How your rusted or damaged steel mailbox can be repaired

  • Removing the old or damaged steel mailbox is much easier than getting the new mailbox installed.
  • After removing the old mailbox, grinding the mortar inside the brick enclosure is the most time consuming part of the job. Sometimes this can take hours depending on the construction and size of the mailbox.
  • Color matching the mortar is an additional step that is needed and can be overlooked by amateurs. Most mortar colors can be brown, tan, white, grey, or any combination between these colors.
  • Most unprofessional jobs can result in a crooked box, broken bricks, or a mailbox that isn’t seated properly

Original replacement doors can be installed

  • When these are hit by vehicles, the doors fall off, or the box is heavily rusting away. The steel boxes can always be replaced without rebuilding the entire structure. Most companies insist on a rebuild as your only option.
Rusted bottom trays can be replaced
  • When the bottom tray has holes or is falling apart these can be replaced with new trays.
  • There isn’t always a need to replace the entire mailbox.
  • New or used trays can be an option.

Mailbox flags are not required but there are several options to choose from.

  • Magnetic
  • Aluminum
  • Plastic
