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 movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in picking a moving company is figuring out whether a national or local company is best. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they arrive.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of Harlem's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you'll need, and to check that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The expected hourly cost for moving in Harlem is as follows:
The best mover in Harlem, according to Today's Homeowner, are StraightLine Moving Inc.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Harlem are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months tends to be 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 10,743 college students attending school within 15 miles of Harlem will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Harlem's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Harlem can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
The price of a home in Harlem will vary based on multiple factors, including the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Harlem is $252421.
If you choose to rent in Harlem, the cost for an apartment is roughly $1,133 per month.
