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 selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service companies also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which movers meet Connecticut's mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in West Hartford is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, make sure that you explain all the services you'll need. You should also confirm that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly fee for moving in West Hartford is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Capitol Relocation & Logistics.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in West Hartford are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer is generally more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 28,658 college students attending school within 15 miles of West Hartford will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. West Hartford's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Some movers offer 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 experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, theft, or damage.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in West Hartford can reach 57°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and high snowfall in the winter months.
West Hartford's cost of living index is 148.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
