Custom Brick Mailbox Installation in Chicago Suburbs — Built to Last
A standard mailbox does the job. A custom brick mailbox makes a statement.
If you've driven through the nicer neighborhoods in Orland Park, Frankfort, or Homer Glen, you've noticed them — the stone and brick mailbox columns that look like they were built with the house. They're solid, they're sharp, and they don't lean or rust. They're permanent.
OnlyMailboxes builds custom brick and stone mailbox structures across Chicago's south suburbs. We design, source materials, and build — everything from a simple brick column to a full stone-clad structure with architectural details that complement your home's exterior.
Why Homeowners Upgrade to Brick
Illinois winters are brutal on standard mailboxes. Freeze-thaw cycles heave posts. Road salt corrodes metal. Snowplow strikes that would destroy a post-and-box setup often just scratch a brick column.
A properly built masonry mailbox structure doesn't rot, doesn't rust, doesn't lean, survives minor impacts, and lasts decades. We build these structures to last 20–30 years minimum with minimal maintenance.
Your mailbox is the first impression for anyone pulling up to your home. A custom brick mailbox changes that equation — it ties into the house's masonry, matches the driveway columns or front walk borders, and looks intentional and permanent rather than like an afterthought. Real estate professionals consistently cite curb appeal as a major driver of buyer first impressions.
What We Build
Our brick mailbox builds range from clean and simple to fully custom. A standard brick column is a clean, solid brick pillar with an inset mailbox — classic, and lasting. Stone-clad structures work beautifully with homes that have stone accents. For larger lots or driveways with entry columns, we can build two-post structures that frame the entrance.
If your home has existing brick, stone, or masonry, we can match it. We source materials carefully and work to create a mailbox structure that looks like it was always part of the property.

The Build Process
A brick mailbox build starts with a quote and design discussion, then material sourcing. Site prep and foundation come next — a brick structure needs a solid footing. We dig out the base, pour concrete, and let it cure before building up. Skipping this step is why other builders' brick mailboxes crack and settle. Most single-column builds are completed in a day, followed by cure time before the mailbox is in active use.
Where We Build in the Chicago Suburbs
We build custom brick mailboxes throughout Chicagoland's south and southwest suburbs, including Orland Park, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Tinley Park, Mokena, New Lenox, Lockport, Joliet, Palos Hills, Palos Heights, and Palos Park. If you're within 30 miles of the I-80/LaGrange Road corridor, we're your local option.
How Much Does a Custom Brick Mailbox Cost?
Pricing varies based on size and design complexity, materials (brick vs. stone, standard vs. matched), any site prep complications, and two-post vs. single-column design. The best way to get a real number is to reach out. We give honest, itemized quotes with no padding.
