Professional Mailbox Installation & Replacement in Chicagoland

About OnlyMailboxes

I'm Frank Kane, founder of OnlyMailboxes. I'm 22 and come from a family of entrepreneurs, so working hard and building something of my own has always been part of who I am.

Before starting this business, I worked a few different jobs — most recently in my family's company — but deep down, I knew I wanted to create something of my own. One day, while helping a neighbor with some work, he asked if I could install a new mailbox for him. I said sure, not thinking much of it at the time.

When I finished the job and stepped back, something clicked. The mailbox I installed wasn't your average one — it was a beautiful cast-aluminum box, solid and elegant. Later that day, as I drove around town, I started noticing how many mailboxes were leaning, rusted, or broken. It hit me: almost every house could use a better mailbox, and yet almost no one was offering that service.

I started digging into the market and found a few manufacturers that make truly stunning, high-quality mailboxes — the kind that instantly enhance a home's curb appeal. But hardly anyone was selling or installing them locally. And the few that were didn't answer the phone, didn't follow up, and didn't seem to care. That didn't sit right with me.

So I decided to do it differently. I wanted to build a company that takes pride in its work — one that's reliable, detail-oriented, and treats every home like it's our own. With help from my dad and support from my family, I launched OnlyMailboxes. I built a website, started running ads, and before long, homeowners began reaching out — surprised to find there were better, more elegant options for something they'd never thought twice about.

Now, I spend my days outside upgrading people's curb appeal — taking something most overlook and turning it into something beautiful.

This is just the beginning. My goal is to build OnlyMailboxes into a national brand.
