Why CBUs are common in San Diego communities

San Diego properties range from hillside townhomes and older garden-style apartments to new mixed-use developments. Many of these communities rely on Cluster Box Units for secure, centralized mail delivery, but aging equipment, corrosion, and changing USPS guidelines can make upgrades necessary.

Replace rusted or vandalized CBUs with secure, modern USPS-approved units
Consolidate scattered mailboxes into convenient, well-lit CBU locations
Upgrade pads and pedestals that have settled, cracked, or no longer meet standards
Reconfigure older layouts to improve ADA reach and clearances
Prepare mail stations in advance of USPS route changes or new developments

Instead of interpreting USPS standards on your own, you work with a contractor that handles CBU layouts and approvals in San Diego every day.

Common CBU installation projects we handle in San Diego

Recent work in San Diego has included CBU replacements, new installations for infill projects, and accessibility upgrades for existing communities.

Replacing aging CBUs in coastal apartment communities exposed to salt air
Installing new CBU banks for townhome and condominium associations
Relocating CBUs away from tight drive aisles and unsafe parking areas

Coordinating CBU installs with USPS and site constraints in San Diego

San Diego sites often have sloped terrain, limited common areas, and busy drive aisles. We plan CBU locations and installation schedules around these constraints while keeping USPS requirements front and center.

Walk your property with you and review any USPS letters or notices you have received
Map potential CBU locations that balance resident convenience, carrier access, and visibility
Recommend CBU configurations and pad layouts that fit your site conditions
Schedule installation windows to reduce impacts on parking and resident access
Coordinate USPS inspection and address any punch-list adjustments after installation

Our goal is to deliver a CBU setup in San Diego that is easy for residents to use, simple for carriers to serve, and compliant with USPS guidelines from day one.

FAQs about cbu installation in San Diego

Questions we regularly hear from boards, managers, and owners in this area.

Can you replace outdated CBUs without changing our mail locations in San Diego? +

In many cases we can replace CBUs in the same general location if the site still meets USPS and accessibility requirements. During the site visit we verify clearances, pad condition, and carrier access, and then discuss whether a direct replacement or a relocation is the better long-term solution.

Do you coordinate with local USPS stations in San Diego? +

Yes. We regularly communicate with USPS about San Diego projects, reviewing layouts, preferred equipment, and inspection timing so your new CBUs are approved and placed into service without unnecessary delays.

Can CBU work be phased to keep mail running during construction? +

Yes. Where feasible, we plan phasing so residents have continuous access to mail, even while pads and new CBUs are being installed. We outline the phasing plan and any temporary arrangements in your proposal before work begins.
