How it works

Strip and treat

We remove all loose paint and treat any rust on metal posts with a rust converter or primer before building up the new finish.

Prime bare surfaces

We apply the right primer for the material — oil-based rust primer for metal, exterior primer for wood — so the topcoat bonds solidly.

Apply finish coats

We apply two coats of durable exterior paint, allowing proper dry time between coats for a smooth, even result.

We can help

Problems we fix

Paint bubbling on metal posts because rust underneath wasn't treated before recoating
Paint peeling at the base of wooden posts due to ground moisture wicking into the end grain
Color fading quickly on posts that face direct afternoon sun in open locations
Paint flaking at the post cap where water pooled and freeze-thaw cycles lifted the coating

Mailbox Post Painting — FAQ

Can you paint both the post and the mailbox in the same visit?

Yes. Painting both together makes sense so they match. Just let us know the finish you want — most customers go with flat or satin black, but we can match any color.

How do you protect the numbers on the mailbox during painting?

We tape off the address numbers or remove them if they're easily detachable, then reinstall them after the paint dries.

How long does a mailbox post paint job last?

With proper prep and a quality exterior paint, you should expect three to five years of good-looking coverage. Posts near the road take more weathering than sheltered surfaces.
