Brick mailboxes, built and rebuilt at a published price.
Brick mailbox work in Murfreesboro is its own trade: subdivisions require masonry boxes by HOA covenant, and cars take a few out every month on every arterial in the county. Rebuilds to spec run $1,100 to $1,800. Customs run $1,800 to $3,000. Those numbers are printed here on purpose; nobody else serving this market prints any.
Why this county runs on brick mailboxes
The masonry mailbox is a Nashville-metro signature that most of the country does not share. Subdivision covenants from the 1990s onward wrote them into the architectural standards, builders installed them by the street, and the region’s best-known masonry family business was founded on exactly this product. The result is thousands of brick boxes across Rutherford and Williamson counties, every one of them four feet from moving traffic. They get hit. They also settle, shed caps, and lose their brick runs to weather at the base course. All of it is rebuildable, and rebuilt right, the new box disappears into the street’s original run.
What a rebuild includes
- Footing assessment. A clean car strike often leaves the footing usable, which keeps you at the bottom of the range. A shattered footing gets re-poured, stated on the quote.
- Brick and blend match. From your street’s original supplier where the run is still made, from salvage or closest current production where it is not. Sample shown before laying.
- HOA paperwork. We complete the contractor section of the architectural form and attach blend documentation. Like-for-like rebuilds usually pre-approve.
- The build. Courses laid plumb to the covenant height, cap set, box insert mounted to USPS height and setback rules. One to two days.
- Insurance documentation. After car strikes: damage photos, footing notes, and a written scope your adjuster can approve without another site visit. Free.
Builders and HOAs: per-subdivision packages
With Rutherford County permitting over three thousand homes a year, mailbox packages are a standing product for us: one crew, scheduled days, per-unit pricing in writing that beats the single-box rate because the mobilization spreads across the street. HOA managers replacing a damaged box on covenant streets get the same package treatment plus the approval paperwork handled. The full B2B rundown lives on the builders page.

Mailbox questions, answered straight
How much does a brick mailbox cost in Murfreesboro?
A rebuild to your existing or HOA spec typically runs $1,100 to $1,800, including brick match and a new post box insert. New custom designs with stone caps, address blocks, or twin units run $1,800 to $3,000. Builders and HOAs ordering several units in one mobilization get per-unit pricing below the single-box rate.
A car hit my brick mailbox. Does insurance pay for the rebuild?
Usually, yes. If the driver is known, their auto liability covers it; if not, your homeowner policy often does. We photograph the damage, document the footing condition, and give you a written scope your adjuster can approve without a second visit. That paperwork costs nothing and shortens the wait considerably.
Can you match my neighborhood HOA mailbox design?
Yes. Middle Tennessee HOAs specify masonry mailboxes by height, design, and brick blend, and we build to the written standard. Where the original blend is still in production we order it; where it is retired we match from the manufacturer’s current line against a sample. We also fill out the contractor section of the architectural approval form.
How long does a brick mailbox take to build?
One to two days on site: footing check or pour on day one, courses and cap after. Mortar cures enough for the box to take mail immediately, and full cure follows within the month. USPS clearance rules on height and setback are part of the layout, not an afterthought.
