❓ FAQ
Do you handle HOA guidelines?
Yes — we’re experienced working within HOA rules. If you have an HOA packet or spec sheet, upload or email it during your consult and we’ll match approved colors, materials, dimensions, and placement so your install meets their requirements.
How soon can you install?
Typical lead time is 3–7 business days depending on season and material availability. Simple box swaps can often be scheduled within 48–72 hours. During busy summer months or for custom builds, allow 1–2 weeks for scheduling.
What about winter installs?
We do winter work where safe and practical. Post replacements that require digging and concrete footings are best done before the ground freezes (usually by late-October). For colder months we can often perform repairs, box swaps, or use alternative footing methods — we’ll advise what’s best during your consult.
Can you do multi-mailbox posts?
Yes — we build and install multi-mailbox posts for shared drives and neighborhoods. Pricing is discounted per box for multi-unit installs; we’ll size and space the post to USPS guidelines and coordinate placement so every box is accessible and secure.
