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 right for your needs. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Colorado. Every company on our list of Lakewood's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure that you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Lakewood, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Safeway Moving Inc.
To find out which movers in Lakewood are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. 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 59,983 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lakewood will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Lakewood tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Lakewood from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Lakewood is 140.7. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
