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 deciding on a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You will also want to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service mover can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can 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 Connecticut's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Branford's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services you may need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 27,986 students attending college within 15 miles of Branford, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Branford tends to have moderate temperatures. As a result, you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, loss, or damage.
If you're moving to a different home in Branford, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Branford from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
