So, what does all this mean? First of all, it is easy to see that a William C Huff team is considerably more experienced and trained. Next is that there is ZERO liability to the home owner when our staff is at their residence. In the unlikely event that a worker is injured while on a homeowner’s property, there is the potential that the person will file a claim against the homeowners’ insurance policy and, that the insurance will settle because there is no workers comp to subrogate to. Having an unlicensed and uninsured worker of any nature in one’s home is not a good idea, especially if those workers are carrying heavy objects that could cause an injury.
Experience & Investment in Staff Makes for Reliable Movers
Since the William C Huff staff has an average of more than 10 years’ experience, there is less likelihood for damages to occur. For example, if a couch gets torn or a table gets scratched then there is the hassle of trying to get it repaired and, trying to get the moving company to pay for it (always stressful and unsatisfying). Since damages are very rare with William C Huff, it is never a problem to take care of the issue promptly and without complications.
Ultimately, when considering who to choose for handling your household possessions, it should not be primarily based on “competitive” price, especially in this fast paced, no accountability society where companies have to be so competitive that they cannot possibly compete without compromising significant quality of service. Reputation, experience and a 100% satisfaction guarantee is only offered by the William C Huff Companies because it consistently has been delivering exceptional experiences for over 105 years. Although we usually cannot be the “best competitive price”, we can always deliver more than what our clients normally expect....we guarantee it. We hope this checklist is helpful if you are looking to make a move soon.
