Three Ways to Get Your Mailbox Installed
Install a mailbox you own
Send the product link and a photo of the parts. We check the box, post, bracket, and hardware so install day does not turn into another trip to the store.

Shop classic, decorative, modern, and locking options. We show the product price and standard installation separately; removal and number upgrades are optional.
Browse mailbox stylesBuild a brick or stone mailbox
Plan the insert, column, cap, finish, and address plaque together. Masonry needs a project-specific footing and placement review before the build is scheduled.

What a Standard Installation Includes
We review the site and parts, prepare the mounting location, assemble the compatible setup, set the post using the appropriate method, mount and align the box, and clean the work area. Placement is checked against the delivery requirements for your address.
- Mailbox, post, and mounting compatibility check
- Standard digging, post setting, and assembly
- Mailbox height, setback, and door-clearance check
- A level setup and cleanup of the installation area
New mailbox materials, house-number upgrades, standard removal, and nonstandard excavation are separate where applicable. We confirm those details before work begins.
Send These for a Useful Quote
- Your Houston-area ZIP code and a wide photo showing the curb, driveway, and current mailbox.
- A close photo of the post base, mounting bracket, and any damage or exposed concrete.
- The product link or preferred design, plus any written HOA requirements.
If a vehicle hit the mailbox, include the whole damaged area. If the old post snapped at ground level, tell us whether the buried piece is still in place.

Before setting a post, confirm how mail is delivered at the property. An established curbside box, a wall-mounted box, and a shared cluster mailbox are not interchangeable. A new home or a move to a different delivery point may require your local postmaster’s direction.
USPS recommends a curbside mail-entry height of 41–45 inches from the road and a 6–8 inch setback from the curb. Its support guidance calls for a support that can bend or fall away if struck and a post buried no more than 24 inches deep. Custom masonry requires separate approval and road-location review.
A Houston installation also needs to account for water collecting near the post, an old concrete footing, tree roots, irrigation, and driveway or ditch access. A leaning mailbox does not automatically mean you need a deeper hole: the support, drainage, mounting, and underlying damage all need to be checked.
Arrange utility-location requests through Texas811 before digging and wait for the required responses. Identify private irrigation and other privately installed lines as well. We confirm site readiness and scheduling with you before excavation.
Houston Neighborhoods and Nearby Communities
We provide mailbox installation across Houston and nearby communities. Inside the Loop, check the existing delivery arrangement and sidewalk clearance before changing a mailbox. For suburban properties, send any HOA model and finish requirements. On streets with open ditches or no raised curb, confirm placement before ordering a post.

How much does mailbox installation cost in Houston?
Mailbox Bros charges $350 for standard post-and-box installation labor. The mailbox and post are separate. Standard old post-and-box removal is a $75 add-on, making labor plus that removal $425 before materials, optional upgrades, and any applicable tax. Masonry and unusual site conditions need a separate scope.
Can you install a mailbox I bought from Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon, or another store?
Yes. Send the product link and a photo of everything included. We check whether you have the mailbox, a compatible post or pedestal, the mounting bracket, and the correct hardware before confirming a standard installation. Some listings are for the box only.
Do you replace just the mailbox post?
We can review a post-only replacement if the existing box is still usable. Send a close photo of the mounting hardware and the base of the post, plus a view from the road. We will confirm whether the box can be reused and how the old footing affects the work.
Do mailboxes have to be set in concrete?
There is no single setting method for every mailbox. The manufacturer’s instructions, support type, drainage, road location, and site conditions determine the approach. USPS recommends supports that can bend or fall away if struck; a rigid masonry column needs separate placement review.
How high should my curbside mailbox be?
USPS guidance is 41–45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry, and 6–8 inches back from the curb. If your street has no raised curb or you want to change the delivery location, ask your local postmaster for guidance before installation.
How soon can you install, and do I need to be home?
Send your ZIP code, photos, and desired mailbox for current availability. A straightforward installation can often be completed in one visit after the parts and site are ready. We confirm access, placement, utility-location readiness, and whether someone needs to meet the installer before scheduling.
Can you match an HOA-required mailbox?
Send the written specification, model number, finish, and address-number requirements. A neighbor’s photo helps identify the style but does not replace HOA approval. We confirm the parts and any required approvals before ordering or installing.
Do you install in Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, and the surrounding Houston area?
Yes. We serve Houston and surrounding communities including Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Spring, Pearland, Kingwood, Missouri City, and League City. Send the service address or ZIP code so we can confirm route availability for your project.
