The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) met in the beginning of the year to discuss ideas that could be implemented in the community that would enhance the appearance of the community, as well as to ensure that all aspects of the community appear to be consistent with the ever-increasing value of our homes.  One of the items we thought was out of character for a neighborhood of 300K+ homes was the mailbox that the builder provided.  They are small, cheap and many are not properly installed, or maintained.  We’ve got a number of “leaners and spinners” in the neighborhood.

Analysis

The ARC took a look at a number of possibilities, everything from PVC structures, all the way up to custom stone/brickwork boxes.  We agreed on a more substantial looking, cast aluminum mailbox, with integrated numbers.  The ARC evaluated several contractors and invited them to submit proposals.

Contractor

The selected contractor is “Sign Kwik”.  They are located at 4315 Abbott’s Bridge Rd (near Peachtree Industrial).  The phone number is 770-623-1669.  They have switched out mailboxes in several subdivisions, including an 800 home subdivision, which they are currently working on.  The cost is $288.50/box, which includes removal and disposal of old mailbox and installation, in concrete, of the new box.  The contractor will warrantee their work for 2 years.  They are also offering a $24 discount if you pay with cash.  Please see the attached flyer for details.

How it Works

Homeowners who wish to replace their current mailbox may do so by either installing the same model that is currently installed, or the approved alternate mailbox.  The Westbury Board of Directors (BOD) is requesting that the association upgrade their mailbox to the new box by March 2005.  To arrange for installation of the alternate mailbox, please contact Sign Kwik directly.
