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 right for your needs. You will also have to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
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 Illinois' mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Downers Grove's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can talk to them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you tell them about all of the services you may need, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you should expect to spend moving. In Downers Grove, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top three movers in your area to be JC Movers & Lumper Service Inc, National Van Lines Inc, and Allied Van Lines, in that order.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Downers Grove 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 89,492 students attending college within 15 miles of Downers Grove, 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. Downers Grove tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The median home price in Downers Grove is 355000, while the average monthly rent is about $1,297.
