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 suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in selecting a moving company is figuring out whether a national or local mover is best. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they arrive.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Georgia's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Athens are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly fee for moving in Athens is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Two Men and a Truck.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Athens are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 30,740 students attending college within 15 miles of Athens, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Athens tends to have hot temperatures. This means that weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Athens can reach 71°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The median home price in Athens is 307312, while the average monthly rent is about $1,577.
