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 moves work best with different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is deciding whether a local or national mover will work best for your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Elk Grove is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 100,732 students attending college within 15 miles of Elk Grove, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Elk Grove tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Elk Grove from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
