Repair of Damaged Mailboxes.
The majority of our mailbox
work is the repair of damaged mailboxes, typically the result of automobile
impact. We specialize in searching for the closest match to your original
brick to return your brick mailbox to original condition or better than
original. We build all of our mailboxes solid. By
doing this, they are able to withstand a greater impact without completely
collapsing. We have seen virtually every kind of mailbox destruction from
teenage vandals, delivery truck knock over's, to destruction from the elements.
Only about 5 percent of our mailbox work is new construction ranging from
replacing wooden post replacement to matching your new home with a beautiful
brick or stone mailbox.
Many
realtors talk about curb appeal in regards to your home right. Well, a
brick mailbox is on the curb. It's the first thing people see about your
home. This small investment can have a dramatic impact on the overall
initial appearance of your home. There is no limit to the design
possibilities or your brick or stone mailbox. No two will ever look the
same. Many times the best design is in keeping with the theme of your
home. Adding accessories can have a big impact as well, such as address
blocks, security locking boxes, side flower planters, built-in lighting systems,
etc. Your imagination is your only limit.
We can also change out the metal insert if the door has been damaged or if
corrosion has set in.
Most people are worried about the Internet as a source of credit card fraud
and other criminal threats. Yet these same people have credit cards, convenience
checks, Social Security checks or SS # information, bank statements, and other
very important mail coming to their roadside mailboxes. Most mailboxes sit
unlocked, unprotected, and vulnerable to mail theft. This is the equivalent to
having your mailman dump your most sensitive personal and financial information
into a shoe box out by the street, for anyone to have access to. You might not
even be aware if something were missing from your mail... until months later
when you start getting credit card bills from far away cities, Collection Agencies
begin to call, or even an arrest warrant. All because some thief assumed your
identity to make huge purchases, run up bills, and commit crimes. Mail theft is
a rapidly growing problem, and is part of the epidemic of Identity Theft,
the fastest growing crime in the United States. Criminals can
steal a person's entire identity, simply by having access to one or more pieces
of your personal or financial information... especially your Social Security
Number.
Doesn't it make sense to have your sensitive personal mail protected when it
is delivered at the street? Identity theft is a frightening trend in white
collar crime that can ruin a person's credit, and wreak havoc on one's entire
life
In many instances, with minimal brickwork, our mason can carefully remove
your existing mailbox and replace it with one of these security boxes.
Security mailbox prices start at $155.
