Testimonials

Our Customers Love our Services

From the first phone call the Mr. Handyman organization was responsive, knowledgeable, and terrific to work with. Our carpenter was an expert and a good match for our mix of projects--fixing an exterior door, an interior door and deck. He gave us great counsel on two other projects as well. I would use this group again in a heartbeat.

Barbara L Princeton, NJ

I called Mr. Handyman in Pennington a couple of weeks ago and they sent Patrick to repair our front door foot sill. He was on time, professional and did great work! We were very impressed and will definitely use Mr. Handyman again. Patrick is the best!

Teresa S Princeton, NJ

I had been experiencing rain water penetration around an upstairs bedroom double hung window, apparently for some time with visible damage becoming aware recently.  The contractor, Paul who was excellent in his approach, cleaned and replaced the damaged areas and pointed out the reasons why the prior work failed.  He also took additional measures to seal the area from future water invasion.  It was a quality result and much appreciated!  The experience with the owners of the business in setting up the work request was very easy and they as well were very personable and professional.  I would definitely use their services again.  Bill D

We had minor home repairs.  The cost was meaningful but not exorbitant.  And the technician, Vince, did excellent work.  He found a solution to our problems, letting us know at every stage what he proposed to do.  I would use Mr. Handyman again.

I called at 9:30 this morning. The issue was repaired and cleaned up by 11am. Absolutely incredible in this day and age. Thank you to everyone at Mr Handyman. Fantastic service I will absolutely be using you again.

Matt S Princeton, NJ

We needed two ceiling tiles in our finished basement replaced which involved cutting out a space for our lighting and some batteries replaced in our garage door openers.  Both jobs were completed quickly and done well.  Thank you Mr. Handyman!  This company seems very professional in the way they operate, glad to know they are around!

Laura helped me every step of the way in making sure the job was organized for a timely installation of my new window Air Conditioner before the next heat wave hit. She fully understood the special needs on our household and went out of her way to accommodate my wife and I. She made herself available to answer any questions as they came up during the process. Also, when Andy and Joe arrived on the day of the installation, they were both friendly and professional. Did every thing they could to make the experience a stress free one. Would definitely recommend to friends and relatives.

Michael A Ewing, NJ

I hired Mr. Handyman to repair my garage door frames here in PA.  Vince came right on time, but not before I received an email with his picture and full bio.  If Vince is typical of who this company hires, then you can't go wrong. He was so polite, knowledgable, informative, thorough, fair, and neat as can be.  You never would have known he was here, except for the beautiful new framing around my garage doors.  I couldn't be happier. THANK YOU, VINCE!!!

Consultation and Removal of Old Mailbox

The handyman will assess your property’s layout and confirm that the new mailbox meets all USPS requirements. If you are undertaking a mailbox replacement, the process will involve removing the existing feature and any concrete base if the post is broken. This provides a better view of the worksite and allows us to devise a tailored mailbox replacement plan.

Post Hole Preparation and Installation

The next step involves digging an 18 to 24-inch hole for a stable base before placing the new post. Once in position, the technician will set it in concrete to ensure it is stable and long-lasting. Additionally, the final result is checked with a level to ensure it is straight. The last thing you want is leaning or instability, causing redos and costly mailbox repairs.

Mailbox Assembly and Attachment

Once the post cures, the professional will measure the correct height, typically 41-45 inches from the road, and mount the new mailbox. We also add house numbers or full street addresses, ensuring compliance with USPS regulations. We engage our clients throughout the process, ensuring we attach any components or decorations to personalize the installation.

The Benefits of Professional Mailbox Installation Services

As mentioned, homeowners with basic handyman skills may be tempted to tackle minor repairs. Beyond the potential cost savings and skill development, hiring a professional offers numerous advantages. Here’s why you should hire us to install or replace your mailbox.

Compliance and Prevent Problems

With a stellar track record of providing exceptional mailbox installation in Princeton, we understand and comply with USPS regulations for mailbox height and distance from the curb. Violating local codes can lead to mail delivery issues and costly fines. In addition, we can also ensure the installation meets your Homeowner’s Association (HOA) or community standards.

Safety and Security

Safety is essential in home improvement projects, and mailbox installation is no exception. We mount your new mailbox securely and use weather-resistant anchoring to prevent wobbling or damage. For modern designs that incorporate wiring for lighting or package compartments, our experts can ensure every feature is completed safely and correctly.

Convenience and Time Savings

We leverage extensive skills and specialized tools to install your mailbox correctly the first time. While DIY enthusiasts may opt for a more hands-on approach, they cannot replicate the precision and craftsmanship handymen bring to the job. Our technicians can handle the entire process efficiently, from digging the post hole to securely mounting the feature, giving you peace of mind that everything meets professional standards.

If you want custom mailbox installation in Princeton, we offer a wide range of unique designs to ensure durable, sturdy, and aesthetically appealing results. Contact Mr. Handyman to book an appointment with our experts and navigate the intricate processes of mailbox repair seamlessly.
