- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. A brick or stone mailbox column goes to a licensed contractor, and NorTech flags it before you book.
- Wiring for lit address signs or lamp posts. New low-voltage or line-voltage wiring is for a licensed electrician.
- Cluster boxes, community mailbox units and cluster pads, which the postal service or the developer controls.

- Digging near buried utilities without a locate. The pro will ask you to call for a utility mark first, and work waits until the lines are marked.

Before you book house numbers, mailbox & post installation
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Check postal rules first
Ask your local post office for the box height and the distance from the curb. A box that breaks the rules can be refused, so give your pro those numbers in the booking notes.
Choose numbers you can read from the street
Pick a contrasting color and a size large enough to see from the road. Reflective numbers help at night.
Call for a utility mark before any digging
Buried gas, water, electric and data lines often run near the street. Request a free locate in your area before a post goes in the ground, and tell the pro the date the marks are done.
Photograph the spot
Take a wide photo of the street edge or the wall, plus a close one of the surface. It shows the pro what kind of footing or anchors are needed.
Buy a box that matches the route
A rural curbside route needs a large box that fits parcels, and a porch route may take a wall box. Ask the carrier or the post office which style is allowed.
Plan around snow and plows
If a plow passes, set the post back from the road edge and consider a breakaway design. Mention snow clearance in your notes so the pro positions the box where it stays in one piece.
Say where in San Jose you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Cambrian Park, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

Best time to book house numbers, mailbox & post installation
Concrete for a post footing cures best in mild weather and frozen ground is hard to dig. Setting posts when the soil is soft but not soaked gives the footing time to harden before winter brings frost and plows. In San Jose, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
