Mailbox restoration in Sterling, Virginia.

We work at the curb on Sterling addresses: the box and flag cleaned and repainted, the brass numbers and knobs polished, and the post taken back to whatever your community’s own standard asks for. $250 on any open date, less while the crew is working your neighborhood. Type your address to see which applies to you.

  • If your HOA flags it, we fix it free.

Worth knowing in Sterling

  • Cascades is unusually specific: mailboxes must be tunnel shaped, square and rectangular are not permitted, and the permitted post colours are natural wood, white or black — with Water Beach Place white, Allegheny black and Lowes Island Estates wood, named street by street. Two things follow for us. Repainting to match the existing colour needs no application there. And Cascades wood posts must be left to age naturally, so on those streets the job is the box, and cleaning rather than repainting the post.

  • CountrySide runs the opposite policy to a single black standard: its handbook sets out a named palette of eight mailbox colours — Farm House Red, Foxhall Green, Old Carriage Brown, Old Colonial Red, Georgetown Green, Fairfax Brown, Deep Forest Brown and flat black — and calls rust and peeling paint unacceptable. Its posts are pressure-treated wood allowed to weather naturally.

  • Sterling covers two quite different eras of house under one postal name. Loudoun County’s own structure records put the median year built for single-family detached homes at 1973 in 20164 and 1993 in 20165 — about two-thirds of 20164 is nineteen-sixties and seventies, and about four-fifths of 20165 is nineteen-eighties and nineties. A fifty-year-old post has rust and rot problems a thirty-year-old one does not.
