Sent an email to start a discussion on Saturday afternoon. Jim recommended a mailbox/post combination. By the next morning at 8 a.m. the mailbox was installed. Amazing service! He installed a "pineapple post" which he had given its first coat of paint the night before and he put on the 2nd coat after it was installed. He installed it in concrete. He then installed a high quality steel mailbox (green). He painted metal housenumbers to match and nailed them down the post. My wife says we now have the nicest mailbox in the neighborhood, which is true. If you need a new mailbox and especially a new post, you can't go wrong with this company. It beats buying or borrowing a post hole digger and learning how to get it straight and to look nice. Jim does all that for you and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We called Jim on Saturday and he was there the next day. He did a great job and was very professional and courteous. He helped us pick out the right post and box and then set it up that Sunday. He has been doing this for 20 years and I can see why. If you went to Home Depot and bought everything separately and the equipment to install it, it would be probably just a little bit less than what we paid. He provides a 5 year warranty and judging by the other reviews, he is very well liked. Could not recommend anyone better if you need this done quickly with no headaches. Thanks Jim

Jim is the role model for five star customer service. Provided good advice as to the best mailboxes to consider. Upon delivery, he promptly installed the new mailbox with new post and hauled the old one away. Cleaned up site to where it looked like the new mailbox had always been there. Very courteous and friendly service but more important, quality work. Highly recommended!

I emailed Jim early before I went to work, telling him what kind of mailbox I wanted as pictured on his website. I did not expect to hear from him the same day. When my wife returned home later that day, she caught Jim in the act of putting up a wonderful mailbox!! The mailbox is perfect for us, beautifully built, with the treated lumber post set in concrete. I highly recommend him to anyone in similar need. There was nothing in the interaction or the finished product that can be improved upon. And, best of all, he is a super nice guy!!

I called Jim on a Friday afternoon and he was able to come by on Sunday do the work on short notice. I purchased an Oasis jr. locking mailbox from a local hardware store but they didn't have the post. Jim had a post for the box that he recommended. He was able to install the box professionally at a fair price. A couple of my neighbors came out to check out the job. Jim took time to talk to them. They were very impressed with his work.

Jim is outstanding. He installed a beautiful new mailbox for me this morning. I think people don't realize how much a new mailbox can do for the curb appeal of a house. I would highly recommend Mailbox Xpress. The work was of great quality and completed quickly.

I called MailboxXpress this morning (July 6) and Jim answered the phone. I told him I needed a new mailbox and post installed and the old one removed. He indicated he could come out this same day. He arrived in the afternoon and installed the new post (set in cement) and new mailbox. He was professional and was able to complete the project quickly. He suggested moving the new post over from the original mailbox post and that was done - he was very helpful in his suggestions and courteous.

Jim is extremely thorough, professional, and takes his business and the quality of his work very seriously. Jim is a very good communicator, not only with me (I coordinated the job for our community), but with any of the neighbors he came across while doing his job. A "good job" isn't good enough for Jim. The manufacturer of the mailboxes sent Jim the wrong sized screw and protective cap. Jim installed the mailboxes using these screws and the job looked good to me, but Jim told me of the manufacturer's error and let me know he would come back to the community and replace all the screws and caps (no charge). The job is done, under budget and faster than he told me. I highly recommend Angie's List members use Mailbox Xpress and Jim Hughes.
Description of Work: Removed 35 old mailboxes from the existing posts in a small virginia community. Mailbox Xpress ordered 35 new mailboxes and installed them, plus straightened all of the posts. Mailbox Xpress installed two completely new mailbox posts.

Jim was courteous and accommodating while setting up our appointment. He and his assistant had to pry up some road side concrete in order to properly place the mailbox, and did so without complaint or additional charge. They installed the post and high quality medium size mailbox quickly and it looks great!

I contacted Mr. Jim Hughes early Saturday morning and less than 3 hours later my mailbox was replaced!! Jim takes great pride in his work - which clearly shows in the quality of his workmanship. It is virtually impossible these days to find someone with Jim's work ethic. His commitment to customer satisfaction, high quality work, and honesty places him in the very top of my list. The fact that he is highly rated by Angie's List is not by chance - he lives up to every bit of it and more!!

Jim Hughes takes great pride in his work and stands behind it. When i noticed that my mailbox post was deteriorating, i called Jim to have him replace it with a new post and box. When he arrived to do the work, he recognized the existing mailbox was one that he installed some years ago. I had left a check in the old mailbox for the replacement work, but he left it and called me to insist that he was ashamed of the deterioration and would fix or replace the box at a reduced price or no charge. The existing mailbox was well beyong the 5 year warranty but he still backed his work. I insisted that he take the money because i did not see the problem as his fault. He replaced the post and mailbox with his top of the line mailbox. I am extremely happy with the work and would definitely recommend him to anyone. Superb customer service! Something that is rare in current times. Definitely ALL STAR service.

I special ordered a new mail box and as soon as it came in, Mr. Hughes called me and arranged to install it the next day. He arrived early the next morning, and removed the old box. He dug the hole for the new box, and was very precise in measurement from the street, height, and vertical level. He was very professional, and in our conversation, I learned that he had installed hundreds of mail boxes so he has vast experience in the correct procedure. I have relied on Angie's List for quality contractors for several years, and each contractor or repairman that I contacted turned out to be outstanding. This was my experience with Mailbox Xpress. They have the knowledge and experience to do the job the way it should be done.

Exceptional customer service and work. I had purchased a mailbox and post from Home Depot, with the intention of removing my old one and installing the new one by myself. However, once I started digging, I realized the concrete around the existing mailbox meant that I was in over my head. I wanted to install the new mailbox exactly where the old one was -- so I knew I needed help. I logged onto Angie's List, and found Jim Hughes (Mailbox Xpress) was highly recommended. I called him on the Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend -- and he and his nephew, Chris, had my new mailbox installed by 8:00pm that same day! Three things immediately impressed me about Jim: 1) He got the job done that same day - and on a Sunday at that, 2) He got the job done right, and 3) He's a heck of a nice guy. I am going to recommend him to a neighborhood friend interested in having her mailbox replaced, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional installation at an affordable price by a small business owner who truly cares about his customers and getting the job done right!

From beginning to end, starting with the initial contact via email, then phone, Mr. Hughes and Mailbox Xpress provided punctual, quality, professional service. Arrangements were made on 21 Ma;y for installation on 22 May, the installation was professional, both Mr. Hughes and his assistant were friendly, courteous, and responsive. I would recommend Mailbox Xpress to anyone needing a new mailbox installation, or a replacement of the old rotting post (which was my case).

Jim Hughes came out the day after we contracted with him to install a new post and mailbox for us. He got both the exact post and mailbox for us that we wanted. He and his partner did a great job of digging a hole deep enough to keep the mailbox and post sturdy and stable in its spot. He did a thorough job painting the post for us, and screwed down the mailbox securely. He also made certain that the door of the mailbox worked properly before he left. He is very honest, cordial, and professional. Jim also recommended a different placement for our mailbox as we have a curved driveway. He recommended the post be put further away from the driveway than he otherwise would have placed it because with a curved driveway it is easier to knock the mailbox over. We really enjoyed doing business with Jim and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

A neighbor's tree fell and demolished our roadside mailbox. The next morning I called Jim Hughes and asked him to install a new mailbox. The tree had fallen across the road and there was too much debris to do the job that day. I thought I would have to wait until Monday but on Saturday evening Jim and his helper arrived unexpectedly - we were delighted to see them. They had a new mailbox installed in a short time and cleared away the old one. I would highly recommend Mailbox Xpress for the excellent and professional service we received.

Bought a unique mailbox online to replace the old rusty one that I had. The problem was in getting a new post and someone to install. Enter Jim and Mailbox Xpress. Sent an email out with a picture and description of my need on Tuesday night. Jim called me the next day for more information and provided recommendations on what would goes best with my unique mailbox. The post was fabricated to the specifications for my mailbox. Needless to say, Jim and his nephew came over on Saturday, promptly removed the old and perfectly setup the new one. It looks great and I'm sure it is the envy of the neighborhood! Jim was genuinely excited about installing my custom mailbox and I can tell that he really take great pride in his work and enjoy doing his job.
