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 deciding on 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 have to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things. Some good ways to 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 Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Arlington Heights' best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts. Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can go about asking for estimates. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure that you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You may be wondering how much you might spend on your move. In Arlington Heights, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Arlington Heights, according to Today's Homeowner, are Ondemand Movers USA.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Arlington Heights are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months 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 62,729 college students attending school within 15 miles of Arlington Heights will be moving in those months as well.Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Arlington Heights' temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, loss, or theft.
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.
