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 choosing a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You will also have to decide if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be your best bet. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Colorado. Every company on our list of the best movers in Durango is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, be sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. You should also confirm that the company provides you with a "binding estimate."

You'll also want to think about the weather. Durango's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
