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 better for your needs. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
You can check a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Connecticut. Every company on our list of the best movers in Bridgeport is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to at least a couple of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, verify that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you're going to spend when you move. In Bridgeport, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Globeover.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Bridgeport are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 30,422 college students attending school within 15 miles of Bridgeport will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Bridgeport tend to be cool. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
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 Bridgeport from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
The average annual high in Bridgeport can get up to 58°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
Bridgeport's cost of living index is 169.5. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
