Mailboxes and Entry Pillars
A mailbox or entry pillar is a small piece of masonry that people see every day. We build them in brick or stone to match the house, with the right box, address plaque and light, set on a footing so they stay straight.

Common questions
Can the mailbox match my house?
Yes. We use the same brick or stone, or a complementary one, so the mailbox looks like part of the house.
Do I need to check postal rules?
Yes. Height, distance from the road and box type have guidelines. We plan around them.
Can you add a light?
Yes. Conduit and a fixture can be built in during construction.
