Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. You'll also want to decide if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you will probably want to use a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Alabama's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Madison's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure that you explain all the services you think you'll require. You should also confirm that the company provides you with a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Madison, according to Today's Homeowner, are PowerMoves.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Madison are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer tends to be more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 11,855 college students attending school within 15 miles of Madison will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Madison tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
