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:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in hiring a moving company is figuring out whether a national or local company will work best for your needs. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you're someone who hates packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Delaware's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Wilmington's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly fee for moving in Wilmington is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be The Armstrong Company.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Wilmington are the best ones. They include:
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Wilmington can reach 62°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
Wilmington's cost of living index is 116.4. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
