What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Knocked-over or leaning mailbox posts reset plumb, or replaced with a 4 by 4 wood or 2-inch pipe support
- Mailbox body remounted securely to the post at the standard height and setback from the curb
- Bent doors, flags and mounting brackets straightened or replaced, and house numbers put back on the box
How it works
- Photograph the damage and confirm placement and height with your local post office if the box is moving
- Remove the broken post and reset or replace it, burying no more than about 24 inches so it can still give way if struck
- Mount the box, check height and setback from the curb, and mark it with a snow stake for the rest of the season
- Referred out: masonry or brick mailbox columns go to a mason, and any lighted mailbox wiring goes to a licensed electrician
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; frozen ground may mean a temporary reset now and a permanent one after the thaw, and both are spelled out before work starts.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
