HELLO EVERYONE
As the owner of Porter Tuckpointing, I’ve spent years working on the incredible brick and stone homes that define our city. I remember a call from a homeowner over in Webster Groves. She was tired of her flimsy metal mailbox constantly getting knocked over by snowplows in the winter or dented by passing cars. It was a constant headache and an eyesore in front of her beautiful, historic home. She told me, “I want something that looks like it belongs here, something as sturdy and timeless as my house.” That story is one I hear all the time across St. Louis. Your home’s first impression starts at the curb, and a weak, generic mailbox detracts from the character you’ve worked so hard to cultivate. A custom brick mailbox isn’t just about receiving mail; it’s a statement piece that enhances curb appeal, offers superior security, and reflects the architectural integrity of our unique neighborhoods, from the grand estates in Ladue to the charming bungalows in South City. For homeowners who value permanence and style, our professional Brick Mailbox Construction Saint Louis service provides a durable, elegant solution that stands the test of time.
Your home is unique, and your mailbox should be too. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why we start every project with a personal design consultation. As an award-winning design and build firm, our team collaborates directly with you to create a bespoke brick mailbox that perfectly complements your home’s aesthetic. Whether you live in a classic Tudor in University City or a modern build in Chesterfield, we consider every detail. We’ll discuss brick color, mortar style, size, and shape to ensure the final product looks like it was always part of your property. Our hyper-local expertise means we have an intimate understanding of St. Louis architectural styles and access to locally sourced materials, allowing us to flawlessly match your home’s existing brickwork for a seamless, historically accurate appearance. We can also incorporate custom features like built-in planters, newspaper slots, and elegant address blocks to make your mailbox both beautiful and functional.
A brick mailbox is only as good as its foundation. Here in St. Louis, we experience everything from scorching summers to freezing winters, and our construction process is specifically designed to withstand the harsh freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy lesser work. We begin by pouring a deep, reinforced concrete footing that provides unwavering stability. From there, our master masons meticulously lay each brick, ensuring level courses and consistent mortar joints for a flawless finish. We use high-quality, locally sourced materials that are appropriate for our climate, guaranteeing your mailbox won’t just look good on day one, but for decades to come. This commitment to quality is why we can confidently offer our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on all our masonry work. You get the peace of mind knowing your investment is protected and built to be a permanent, beautiful feature of your property.
Building a brick mailbox might seem simple, but creating one that lasts and perfectly matches a historic St. Louis home requires a specialized skill set. We aren’t just general contractors; we are masonry specialists with a deep passion for preserving the architectural heritage of our city. Our experience in specialized historic restoration, from Soulard to Lafayette Square, has given us an unparalleled eye for detail. We understand how to work with the unique brick and stone that characterize local homes, ensuring any new construction blends seamlessly. A customer in Kirkwood recently told us that their new brick mailbox not only solved their security concerns but also significantly boosted their home’s curb appeal, adding a touch of elegance they didn’t know was missing. This is the difference expertise makes. Choosing a local mason means you’re getting someone who understands the nuances of St. Louis architecture, materials, and climate, a combination that ensures a superior, long-lasting result. In many areas, a custom brick mailbox is a symbol of permanence and quality.1 Our work is a testament to that, backed by our lifetime guarantee and a portfolio of award-winning projects right here in your community.
