Moving from one county to another while managing same day settlements was headache enough without trying to move ourselves. In the past we had always had the DIY mindset and plenty of strong backs to help. But you get to a certain age and you realize that not only are you getting too old to do this any more, but so are most of your friends! We received estimates from three companies, and Hughes came in at the lowest. They also guaranteed our price (which the other companies were not willing to do). We did our own packing. They sent a crew of four men, who showed up on time, moved our ten room house on to the truck in about five hours and were friendly and courteous. They also packed our Tempur-Pedic mattress to our specifications and moved a slate-top pool table and treadmill with no complaining. They arrived at the new house the next morning on time, and managed to park the moving van on a narrow, curved road in front of our new house. They unloaded everything, double checking each item against the inventory list. The crew was just great, at both houses. Michelle was very professional to deal with on the phone. Brian, our estimator, was spot on in his knowledge and ability to communicate what was expected of us and what the company would be responsible for. We hope to not have to move again for a long time, but if we do, I plan to use Hughes Moving and Relocation Services again.
