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:
First, you'll have to decide if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves will need different sets of skills, as shown above. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Colorado's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Erie's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly cost for moving in Erie is as follows:
The best mover in Erie, according to Today's Homeowner, are Nomad Logistics, LLC.
To figure out which movers in Erie are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer is generally more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 16,850 college students attending school within 15 miles of Erie will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Erie tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many movers provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The average annual high in Erie can get up to 59°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
