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 choosing a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You'll also need to determine if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Georgia. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of Forest Park's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a big concern when thinking about moving. The typical amount you might expect to spend hourly for movers in Forest Park is:
The best mover in Forest Park, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Forest Park are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 92,213 college students attending school within 15 miles of Forest Park will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Forest Park's temperatures tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what kinds of services the mover offers, read reviews of the company on other sites such as Trustpilot, the BBB, Reddit, or Google.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
The best 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.
