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:
The first step in picking a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service movers provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service moving companies offer packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes.
You can check the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Colorado. All of the companies on our list of Cortez's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to two or more of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate.
