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 right for your needs. You'll also want to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation 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 New Haven's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can go about getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest speaking 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. You should also confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you might spend moving. In New Haven, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Shoreline.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in New Haven are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 30,995 students attending college within 15 miles of New Haven, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. New Haven tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
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 the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
New Haven's cost of living index is 148.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
