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 better for your needs. You will also want to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Some good ways to 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 Florida's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of Jacksonville's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin talking to companies. It is best to talk to at least two of the movers from our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, be sure that your estimate 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 typical hourly cost for moving in Jacksonville is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be New Chapters Moving Co.
To decide which movers in Jacksonville are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Many moving companies have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required supplies 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:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Jacksonville from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
