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. You also will have 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 movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet Connecticut's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Kensington's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can begin contacting companies. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
