24/7 Express Handyman Service confirms the address, the zone rate and the dispatch fee, and takes a card, before rolling.
Generally 41 to 45 inches from the road surface to the floor of the mailbox, set back 6 to 8 inches from the curb face or road edge to the mailbox door. The Postal Service asks customers to contact the local post office before installing a mailbox to confirm placement and height.
A post that is stable but can bend or fall away if hit. Federal highway guidance cited by the Postal Service favors a wood support no larger than 4 by 4 inches, or a 2-inch standard steel or aluminum pipe, buried no more than 24 inches. Avoid concrete posts and heavy metal pipe.
Often not. Some county codes state that damage to mailboxes and other items placed in the road right-of-way is not the county's responsibility. Check your city or county public works rules, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
If the mailbox is down and mail cannot be delivered, do not wait for spring. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can set a temporary post in frozen ground and finish the permanent reset after the thaw.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
