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. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Connecticut. You can also search for reviews online and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Derby is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to two or more of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Derby 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
