What happens when you have superior mailboxes that last and customers ask you to replace their existing mailbox? You get a pile of mailboxes that aren’t yours. Although a lot of the mailboxes look similar to the mailboxes made by Addresses of Distinction, looks can be deceiving. In actuality, they are not made with the same quality. Some of these were due to jobs that Addresses of Distinction originally lost bids to because someone wanted to spend less money for an inferior product. Three to five years later, Addresses of Distinction is going around and digging up these old competitor mailboxes that did not hold up through the years and replacing them with high quality and durable decorative mailboxes. A lot of our mailbox replacement projects are due to builders choosing to go with a cheaper sub-contractor that look great when they are first installed and help them sell the houses, only to leave the homeowners and HOAs needing to replace the mailboxes in just a few years. Products from Addresses of Distinction do not last three to five years. They last 20 to 30 years. These decorative mailboxes may look the same; however, products from Addresses of Distinction last four to six times longer than competitors. This is important not only for individual homeowners, but also for Home Owners Associations who want a consistent look for their neighborhood that lasts over time. Since Addresses of Distinction uses specified materials aluminum that are powder coated for longer lasting products. Competitors often use recycled aluminum, which do not stand up throughout the years. Plus, our mailboxes are bolted together, rather than welded so if something happens to part of the mailbox, you don't have to replace the entire system, cutting way down on repair costs. So stop wasting money on inferior products and start investing in your decorative mailboxes and custom street signs through Addresses of Distinction.
