A mailbox post set straight, and built to stay that way

Mailbox post work in Newark, NJ means setting, replacing, or rebuilding the post and base that hold your mailbox at the curb, from simple wood and vinyl replacements to full brick or stone columns built on a real footing. Most homeowners worry about the same three things. Here is how we take each one off your plate.

  • We protect your home

    We call in utility locates before we dig, keep the work area tidy, and haul off the old post and debris.

  • On time, as promised

    A realistic schedule before we start digging, and a post set plumb and solid the day we say.

  • No hidden costs

    A clear price up front with no surprise fees, plus financing to help you start sooner.

Our licensed crew handles the whole install, from the footing in the ground to the box mounted level at the right height.

Wood & Vinyl Posts

Classic cedar and pressure-treated wood, or low-maintenance vinyl that never needs paint.

Brick & Stone Columns

Concrete Footings

Repairs & USPS Setup

Quick answers about mailbox posts

What's included

New wood, vinyl, decorative metal, or brick and stone mailbox posts, plus replacing rotted or hit posts and resetting leaners. We call in utility locates, dig below the frost line, set a concrete footing, mount the box to USPS height and setback, and haul away the old post and debris.

Best for

Newark and northern New Jersey homeowners with a post that leans, rotted, or was knocked over, anyone refreshing their curb appeal before a sale, and folks who want a brick column that matches the house, all set straight and solid by a licensed crew.

Typical timeline

A standard wood or vinyl post is usually a single visit once the footing sets, and a decorative metal post is similar. A brick or stone masonry column takes a bit longer for the footing and curing. You get a realistic schedule before we start digging.

Mailbox post questions, answered

How deep should a mailbox post be set?
For a post that stays straight through New Jersey winters, we dig the hole below the frost line, usually around 24 to 30 inches, and set the post in a concrete footing with a gravel base for drainage. A post just tamped into dirt will lean within a season or two. The footing is what keeps a mailbox post plumb for years, and it is the step too many quick installs skip.
What is the correct USPS height and placement for a mailbox?
The Postal Service asks that the bottom of the mailbox sit 41 to 45 inches above the road surface and that the box face be set back 6 to 8 inches from the curb or edge of the road so a carrier can reach it from the truck. We measure to that guidance on every install and confirm your local post office has no extra requirement before we set the footing.
Can you build a brick or masonry mailbox to match my house?
Yes. A brick or stone mailbox column is one of our favorite curb-appeal upgrades, and we build it on a real concrete footing so it does not settle or crack. We match the brick, stone, and mortar color to your home or front walkway, and we can pair it with masonry steps or a walkway in the same visit so the whole entry looks like one design.
My mailbox post is leaning or was hit by a car. Can it be fixed?
Often yes. A leaning post usually means the footing failed or there never was one, so we reset it properly in concrete. If a post was hit, snapped, or rotted at the base, replacement is usually the smarter long-term call, and we will tell you honestly which way to go. Either way you get a post that is plumb, solid, and at the correct height again.
What materials do you use for mailbox posts?
We install pressure-treated and cedar wood posts, low-maintenance vinyl posts, decorative cast and powder-coated metal posts, and full brick or stone masonry columns. We help you weigh look, upkeep, and budget. Wood is classic and affordable, vinyl never needs paint, and a masonry column lasts decades and lifts your curb appeal the most.
Are you licensed and insured to install mailbox posts?
Yes. Ultimate Contractors Corporation is a licensed, insured, and bonded general contractor based in Newark, NJ, holding NJ Home Improvement Contractor license #13VH12312800. Your mailbox post, whether a simple wood replacement or a full masonry column, is set by an insured crew that calls in utility locates before digging the footing.
How much does a new mailbox post cost?
It depends mostly on the material and whether we are building a simple post or a full masonry column. A standard wood or vinyl post on a concrete footing is the most budget-friendly, while a brick or stone column costs more for the masonry and curing time. We give you clear, written pricing up front with no hidden fees, the estimate is free, and financing is available so you can start sooner.
Do you install mailbox posts outside of Newark?
Yes. We are based at 185 Johnson Ave in Newark and set mailbox posts across all 11 of the New Jersey counties we serve, including Essex, Union, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Sussex, generally within about 45 to 60 minutes of Newark.
