Mailbox Installation
Residential & Commercial Property Mailbox Installation Services.
Proudly serving Wayne County, Monroe County, and the Rochester Region.
Your mailbox sees daily use and constant exposure to weather, and when the post begins to lean or rot, your home's curb appeal suffers. Mae's Fence Installation LLC installs new mailbox posts throughout Monroe County and the Rochester area using custom wood or metal materials designed to match the style of your property and stand up to long-term outdoor conditions.
Each installation begins with removal of your old post, including any damaged concrete or buried hardware that may interfere with the new structure. The replacement post is anchored securely into the ground with fresh concrete and set to proper height and alignment, whether you need a single post for a rural mailbox or a multi-unit configuration for apartment buildings. Mae's Fence Installation LLC also handles installations for new construction homes where no mailbox structure exists yet.

The crew arrives with post materials, anchoring hardware, concrete mix, and hand tools needed to prepare the ground and set the structure. In the Rochester region, where freeze and thaw cycles can shift older posts out of alignment, the team digs deep enough to prevent seasonal movement and ensures the base remains stable year-round.
Once the installation is complete, your mailbox stands straight, sits at the correct height for postal delivery, and no longer wobbles when mail is retrieved or during high winds. The post looks finished, the concrete is smoothed at ground level, and any debris from the old installation is hauled away.
Wood posts can be stained or painted to match trim colors, and metal posts are powder-coated or galvanized for rust resistance. If you're replacing a post damaged by a snowplow or storm, the new installation can include reflective markers or protective sleeves to reduce the chance of repeat damage.
Questions Homeowners Ask Before Installation
Homeowners often want to know how long the work takes, whether the old post needs to be removed first, and what happens if the ground is frozen or uneven.
-
Most installations are completed in under two hours. If the old post requires significant excavation or if concrete needs extra cure time, the crew may return the next day to attach the mailbox.
-
Mae's Fence Installation LLC offers treated wood posts, cedar, and steel or aluminum posts. Your choice depends on the look you want and how exposed the location is to plowing or vehicle traffic.
-
The crew removes it completely, including any concrete footing, and disposes of the materials. You do not need to prep the site before the team arrives.
-
You should replace the post if it leans more than a few degrees, shows visible rot or rust, wobbles at the base, or was struck by a vehicle or plow.
-
Yes, though frozen ground may require additional excavation time. The concrete mix used is cold-weather rated and cures properly even in low temperatures.
