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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You will also have to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Connecticut's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Bristol is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all the services you'll need.
