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 need to determine if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be your best bet. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Some good ways to 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 Southbury's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start talking to movers. It is best to discuss your move with at least one or two of the movers from our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, ensure that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly cost for moving in Southbury is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Braun Moving, Inc.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Southbury are the best ones. They include:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 14,552 students attending college within 15 miles of Southbury, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Southbury tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Some moving companies 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, theft, or loss.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
