Custom Ornamental Mailboxes in Rome, GA

Three ornamental mailboxes on scrolled iron posts with newspaper holders

A custom mailbox is a small project that people notice every day. Fabco Fabrications builds ornamental mailboxes and mailbox posts with scrollwork, finials and newspaper holders for homes, neighborhoods and businesses in Rome, Floyd County and Northwest Georgia, from our shop.

Mailbox styles

  • Pedestal mailboxes on an ornamental cast or fabricated base with scroll panels.
  • Bracket-arm posts with leaf, bird or scroll details holding the box out to the road.
  • Mailboxes with newspaper holders below the box.
  • Address plates and house numbers built into the post or bracket.
  • Matching sets to coordinate with your gate, fence or porch railing.

As one customer wrote: “Jimmy has done a lot of projects for us. From building and installing our ornamental mailbox and aluminum flagpole.” (Mary Beth O., Google review)

Materials

We work in steel, aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, brass and bronze. Aluminum resists rust, which matters for a post that sits in wet grass and road spray. Steel and cast iron give a heavier, traditional look.

Placement rules worth knowing

The U.S. Postal Service’s curbside guidelines generally call for the bottom of the box to sit 41–45 inches above the road surface and the front of the box to be set back 6–8 inches from the curb or road edge. Your local post office can confirm. New mailbox designs are supposed to be approved by the Postmaster General, so most custom posts hold a standard approved box. On busy roads, transportation agencies recommend posts that will bend or break away if a car hits them, so mention it if your box is close to traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Will the post office deliver to a custom mailbox?

Custom posts and pedestals are normally built to hold a standard, postal-approved mailbox, so delivery isn’t affected as long as the height and setback are right.

Can you match my mailbox to my gate or railing?

Yes. A mailbox post can repeat the scrollwork, finials or pattern from your gate, fence or porch railing.

Can you add a newspaper holder or house numbers?

Yes. Paper holders and address numbers are common additions on our mailbox posts.
