What shapes a house numbers, mailbox & post installation job

These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.

Mounting surface
Brick, stucco, wood, siding and metal each need different fasteners and sealing.
Size, spacing and visibility
Number height, contrast and distance from the street affect how easy they are to read.
Post or wall mailbox
A wall box is a bolt-on job, and a curbside post means digging, a footing and setting it plumb.
Ground, utilities and setback
Buried lines, rocky or frozen ground and the distance from the curb all shape a post install.
Material and finish
Metal, wood and decorative materials weather differently.
Where in Woodside the job is
Woodside's properties span everything from 1920s craftsman estates to modern architectural showcases. Providers are experienced with historic materials, cedar siding, stone masonry, and the particular demands of hillside properties. Tell the pro your neighborhood or ZIP code so they know the age and style of the home.

Choosing how to mount the box

The wall, the street and the amount of mail you get decide which style makes sense. A few differences matter in daily use. Tap an option to compare, then add your pick to your job notes.

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.

0/7
Let’s get you readyTap a card when you have done it.

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 Woodside you are

Add your neighborhood, for example Central Woodside, Woodside Heights, and Skywood, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

How where you live changes house numbers, mailbox & post installation

Add your ZIP in the booking card at the top to see weather alerts and the season for your area.

What the wall is made of decides the fasteners

Stucco, brick, vinyl siding and wood each hold a fastener in a different way. Stucco and brick need a hammer drill and masonry anchors, with the holes sealed afterward so water cannot reach the framing. Vinyl siding must be able to move, so the numbers go on a mounting block rather than being screwed tight. Wood takes stainless or coated screws. Older homes may have lap siding with an uneven surface, so a backer plate often keeps the box or numbers flat. Tell your pro what the wall is.

Fill in the blanks first. The note goes to the pro you choose.

Best time to book house numbers, mailbox & post installation

Spring Mar to MaySummer Jun to AugFall Sep to Nov

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 Woodside, 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.
