MAILBOXES
Building column mailboxes might seem straightforward, but small mistakes can lead to big problems. For example, not mounting a mailbox on a proper footing can cause issues down the road. At Omega, our skilled contractors have a proven track record of building durable, long-lasting column mailboxes. We’re here to help with your project too.
Creating a Functional and Attractive Column Mailbox
Getting Started
Our column mailboxes are more than just a hollow structure. We start with a solid cinderblock core and build around it with brick or stucco, ensuring stability and longevity. But before we break ground, we carefully inspect the site to make sure it has the right drainage. For areas with a slight incline, we tier the bottom rows; for steeper inclines, we may need to add both drainage solutions and a solid footing.
The variety of materials available for column mailboxes is impressive. You can choose from brick patterns, block stone, flagstone, or even cast stone and stucco. The options are vast, allowing you to customize your mailbox to match your home’s style.
Choosing the Right Design
One of the best things about column mailboxes is their versatility. Our experienced masons are experts in working with different materials and can help you visualize the possibilities for your design. With nearly 20 years of experience, our team has earned a reputation for quality work in mailbox design and repair.
Blending Form and Function
A well-designed column mailbox can tie together your property’s overall look, especially when it matches the color scheme of your landscaping or walkways. With so many design options and materials available, your mailbox can be as unique and stylish as you want it to be.
Multi-Purpose Column Mailboxes
Today’s column mailboxes are more than just a place to collect mail. Thanks to a renewed focus on practicality, inspired by historic home restorations, modern mailboxes often serve multiple purposes. You’ll find column mailboxes that double as planters, hold sundials, feature whirligigs, or even incorporate light fixtures.
Custom Column Mailboxes
In addition to choosing your design and materials, you can add custom touches to your column mailbox. Consider adding cast stone toppers, lighting, glass blocks (which can be internally lit), or cast stone address plaques.
