Your mailbox works 365 days a year representing your property—our specialized refinishing process ensures it's always saying the right thing about your home.
Louisiana Weather Challenges
Wooden mailboxes face the harshest conditions of any exterior wood feature—they're exposed 24/7 to Louisiana's brutal sun, 90% humidity, driving rain, and extreme temperature swings. Unlike doors or shutters that get some protection, mailboxes take the full brunt of weather year-round, causing rapid deterioration of even the finest hardwoods.
We understand that mailbox restoration isn't just about appearance—it's about functionality, durability, and creating a positive first impression for everyone who visits your home. Our refinishing techniques are specifically designed to withstand constant weather exposure while maintaining beautiful appearance and reliable operation.
Complete Restoration Process
Our comprehensive process begins with complete disassembly and functional assessment to identify structural issues, hardware problems, and post stability concerns. We address all functional problems first—doors that stick, latches that don't work, posts that wobble—before beginning the refinishing process.
Every surface receives professional preparation including thorough cleaning, careful sanding, and damage repair using premium wood fillers and bonding agents. We apply custom color-matched stains for rich depth and character, followed by multiple coats of marine-grade protective finish specifically formulated for extreme weather exposure.
Each project includes hardware inspection and adjustment, weatherstripping replacement, and post stabilization as needed. We provide detailed documentation of all work performed and comprehensive warranty coverage. Your mailbox is returned to service looking brand new and functioning perfectly for years of reliable use.
Available throughout Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, and all St. Tammany Parish communities.
