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 if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As shown above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service companies 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 badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Connecticut. You can also read online reviews and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Cheshire's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can begin getting estimates from them. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all of the services you'll need. Also, confirm that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you should expect to spend on your move. In Cheshire, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Father & Son Moving & Storage.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Cheshire are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be 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 36,773 college students attending school within 15 miles of Cheshire will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Cheshire tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what services the mover offers, read reviews of the company on other sites such as Trustpilot, the BBB, Google, or Reddit.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Cheshire can reach 57°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and high snowfall in the winter months.
The cost of a home in Cheshire will vary based on multiple factors, including the area of the city you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Cheshire is $449945.
If you choose to rent in Cheshire, the cost for an apartment is roughly $1,779 per month.
