Common mailbox replacement and retrofit issues we see in San Diego

San Diego’s coastal air, sun exposure, and varied building ages create a wide range of mailbox problems. We are often called in when equipment has reached the end of its practical life or when USPS has raised concerns.

Heavy rust, peeling paint, and corroded pedestals on CBUs near the coast
Older wall-mounted mailboxes that no longer meet security or USPS expectations
Patchwork repairs that leave mismatched locks and hardware across the system
Parcel volume overwhelming small, legacy mailboxes and informal delivery areas
Mail stations that make an otherwise well-kept property look dated or neglected

Instead of reacting to each new failure, we help San Diego properties plan a single mailbox replacement or retrofit project that addresses appearance, security, and long-term maintenance.

FAQs about mailbox replacement & retrofits in San Diego

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

Can you match our existing mailbox color and style in San Diego? +

We offer a range of USPS-approved finishes and models that work well with San Diego architecture. During the planning stage we review color options, neighboring equipment, and site context so the new mailboxes complement your property.

Do we need USPS approval for mailbox replacement projects? +

Yes. USPS needs to review and approve new layouts and equipment, especially when locations or configurations change. We handle that coordination directly to help avoid last-minute surprises at inspection.

Can we add parcel lockers during a replacement project in San Diego? +

Absolutely. Many San Diego properties use replacement and retrofit projects as the right time to introduce parcel lockers and improve package security. We design configurations that take parcel volume and theft concerns into account from day one.

How long does a typical mailbox replacement project impact residents? +

The timeline depends on the size of the system and the amount of pad or retrofit work required. During our proposal we outline expected durations, phasing options, and any brief interruptions to normal mail delivery.
