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 also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service movers 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 much you hate packing boxes. Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Connecticut's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in New Haven are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team. Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of asking for estimates. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure that you explain all the services you'll need.
