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 picking a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service company can 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.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Connecticut. Every company on our list of West Haven's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies from our list above.
