Mailbox uniformity and maintenance is a requirement of homeowners according to our covenants (section 6.22).
Please take a moment to assess your mailbox. It should be unfaded and black in color, have a complete set of visible brass numbers (no stickers allowed) in the standard font, and have all pieces present and in excellent condition: box, door, door knob, red flag, flag knob, flag holder, diagonal decorative scroll, and post. A “before and after” photo is below.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR REFURBISHMENT AND ORDERING INFORMATION
Homeowners should take care to undertake extensive surface preparation as the paint may flake easily. You should use a black gloss outdoor paint that is designed to adhere to metal. For parts ordering: our mailboxes are made by Imperial Mailbox Systems and are the regular size, NOT the “Estate” size.
