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 illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You will also need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Connecticut's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Hartford is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure that you explain all the services you think you'll require. You should also verify that you receive a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost is a big concern when talking about moving. The usual amount one can expect to spend hourly for movers in Hartford is:
The best mover in Hartford, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
To decide which movers in Hartford are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Some movers provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, 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 tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, loss, or theft.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
