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:
First, you'll have to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different kinds of moves require different kinds of experience, as shown above. You will also have to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Some of the ways you can 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 Illinois' mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Batavia are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure that you explain all the services you'll need. You should also confirm that you are given a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly cost for moving in Batavia is as follows:
The best mover in Batavia, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
To decide which movers in Batavia are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. 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 51,637 college students attending school within 15 miles of Batavia will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Batavia 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 antiques, pianos, 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 tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, damage, or loss.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Batavia can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
The median home price in Batavia is 399185, while the average monthly rent is about $1,987.
