Stone Mailbox in Allen, TX

Need help with stone mailbox repair? We’re a phone call away. Our job is to make your life easy. We know mailboxes are integral parts of all homes. Even in this day and age where everything can be done online, it’s still impossible to replace mail altogether. Your magazines and work-related messages might be coming via your email, but mail is still quite valuable. You’ll often receive mail regarding your taxes, job, and finances.

It’s also worth mentioning that mailmen aren’t obligated to give you your mail. If your mailbox is broken and difficult to use, it’s not their job to do anything else. Postponing stone mailbox repair isn’t a good idea for another reason. The longer your mailbox remains damaged, the harder it will be to fix it. If a structural part of it is broken, the remaining viable structure will have to carry the burden. Additionally, broken stones and exposed mortar will only deteriorate with time.

Stone Mailbox Repair

Repairing your stone mailbox is easier than you think. The job itself takes little time. There are a few hurdles, however, that can make it more difficult. First, if the stones on your mailbox simply fell off, they can be reused and re-applied. On the other hand, if they’re broken then we’ll need to look for exact replacements. The stones on your mailbox most likely replicate the design of your house. Finding stones that look exactly the same is usually easy but if the stones were bought and used several years ago, the job might be tougher.

Once the right stones are purchased, we’ll apply mortar to the raw areas of the mailbox and then place the stones. Your mailbox will then be as good as new. The problem is when the base of the mailbox is damaged or a major part of it is missing. These things usually happen to older stone mailboxes after a significant impact. When the base of a mailbox is damaged, it’s usually a better idea to replace it instead of undergoing repairs. Once the base is damaged, the entire structure is compromised. This applies to mailboxes and everything else. The foundation is the most important part of any structure. If you insist on repairing a seriously damaged mailbox, the repairs won’t last long. Even without future incidents or impacts, the effect of weather alone will be enough for future damage.

You will end up spending more money on repeated repairs than you would have if you just replaced your mailbox in the first place. If you’re not sure what to do, we’re here for you.
