For many Houston homeowners, the mailbox is an afterthought—until it begins to lean, rust, or clash with a freshly painted façade. Because the mailbox sits at the edge of every property, it sets the tone for the entire residence. A well-built unit signals pride of ownership, complies with postal and HOA regulations, and protects daily deliveries from the Gulf Coast’s heat and sudden downpours. CountBricks specializes in designing and installing mailboxes that match Houston’s architectural mix—from Midtown bungalows to master-planned communities on the outskirts.
• Traditional curb-side post with powder-coated steel box
• Decorative brick or stone column that mirrors the home’s veneer
• Modern stainless pedestal for contemporary builds in the Heights
• Clustered units for townhome communities seeking space efficiency
• Galvanized steel resists rust but needs periodic repainting
• Cast aluminum offers lightweight durability ideal for coastal humidity
• Brick and natural stone deliver unmatched longevity and visual impact
• Composite posts combine PVC and fiberglass for zero-rot performance
1. Material & Finish – Brick columns can cost three times more than a basic steel post, but they often boost appraised value.
2. Labor – Houston’s skilled masonry rates average higher than basic carpentry. CountBricks optimizes crew scheduling to keep labor predictable.
3. Permitting & HOA Review – Some master-planned communities require design approval; CountBricks handles submittals so you avoid delays.
4. Site Conditions – Water-logged clay soils east of I-45 may need deeper footings or concrete piers.
5. Extras – Integrated lighting, parcel lockers, or address plaques add convenience and cost.
Houston homeowners usually spend $350–$650 for a premium curb-side mailbox and $1,200–$2,400 for a masonry column. CountBricks AI estimates adjust live pricing as you compare styles, letting you see real-time cost impact before materials are ordered.
