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:
Different types of moves are best handled by different movers. The first step in selecting a moving company is determining whether a local or national mover is best. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service mover will provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Colorado's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Boulder's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin talking to movers. We recommend that you talk to at least one or two of the movers from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you will need for your move. Also, verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Boulder is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Safeway Moving Inc.

Boulder also has about 552 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Boulder tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
