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 choosing a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national mover is best suited to your needs. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. You can also look for reviews online and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Glenwood's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services you may need, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
