Brick mailboxes are used almost exclusively in prestigious neighborhoods. Their durability and beauty help eliminate many of the problems of 
unsightly plastic or cheap metal boxes on posts, in various stages of disrepair. They add class to any neighborhood, and can add security features to your mail and enhance the style, beauty, and function of your landscape.
The Brick Doctor pros can help you design a mailbox that best meets your needs and budget. Even the most basic flat-top brick mailbox can be a very handsome addition to your landscape, or one of the security mailboxes can help keep your mail safe until you return home.
Brick Doctor Custom Mailbox
Standard Features:
- Matching Brick. Part of our job is to locate the best available brick to match your house. Brick colors and blends—like wallpaper—are often discontinued or altered by manufacturers, but alternate matches may be extremely close. Otherwise, we deliver samples for your approval prior to ordering.
- A Good Foundation. Other’s mailboxes may begin to lean over after a few months, due to inadequate foundations. Brick Doctor mailboxes remain plumb, because we dig and pour a 4” deep concrete slab, with a 12” deep stabilizing pier in the center to help keep it true for life.
Top Quality Receptacles. Most mailbox receptacles are intended to be replaced every 5-10 years, as the thin sheet metal is susceptible to rust, vandalism, and excessive wear. Many of the doors and hinges rust or become easily damaged, and cannot be repaired. A permanent brick structure demands a better mailbox—one that will last as long as the brick. Brick Doctor mailboxes come with a Tuff-Box®, a slightly oversized, heavy-gauge steel mailbox with a three-stage baked powder-coat finish and a continuous piano-hinged door (Manufacturer’s lifetime warranty).- Excellent Craftsmanship. Brick Doctor’s masons are true artisans, trained to carefully construct your mailbox to our exacting standards. Joints will be tooled and brushed to resemble the finish of your house. Unlike many others, Brick Doctor mailboxes are built with no exposed brick holes and the crowns crafted with 100% brick, not sloping mortar. Only faces of the brick will show on all exposed surfaces, and any special designs are created by cutting the brick with a saw (instead of breaking it with a trowell or hammer, which leaves uneven edges). Also, a pedestal-type base and/or projecting course at the top are available at no additional charge.
Optional Features:
- Arched Top. A rounded shape on top may be best, usually designed to compliment or match an arched entrance or arched windows on the home.
- Standard Arch. A semi-circle shape made with cut pie-shaped brick in the radius. These precision cuts are made with a diamond-tipped masonry saw, and allow more evenly spaced mortar joints, for a most professional look.
- Eyebrow Arch. A much flatter arch than a semi-circle, shaped more like—you guessed it—an eyebrow!
- Steeple Top. This shape comes to a point at the top, much like a gable on a house. Saw cuts are necessary for professional-looking results.
- Planter Boxes. These may extend on one or both sides to accomodate flowers or other plantings (must have a concrete foundation under it as well).
- Quoin Corners. One or more courses of brick that indent or protrude, to match the design of some homes’ corners.
- Cast Stone Number Block. A custom-made white stone block with your street number engraved in black and set into the structure. Simply the best way to clearly identify your address for your guests…our most requested option!
- Brass Number Plate. A custom-made brass plate with your street number engraved and set into the structure.
- Cast Stone Cap. A custom-made white stone pyramid style cap for flat top structures (several styles to choose from).
Security Mailboxes. Lockable oversized mailboxes built into the structure. These are increasingly popular as they virtually eliminate mail theft, and can store several days of mail, eliminating the need to stop mail when you are away for short periods.
- Oasis/Oasis Jr. A moderately priced security mailbox that can be built into a standard sized structure without any major modifications.
- MailKeeper. The ultimate mailbox, featuring a huge storage compartment, stainless steel construction, and several distinct decorative brass designs available on the face…expensive, but worth it for a growing number of upscale residences.
Debris Removal (only for rebuilt mailboxes). Haul off brick debris and properly dispose of it. Also, upon request, we will deliver a complimentary temporary mailbox to serve you until the new structure is built.
