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 hiring a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national mover is best. You will also have to decide if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, you will probably want to employ a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
You can read up on the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Illinois. Every company on our list of Harvard's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start reaching out to movers. It is strongly suggested that you talk to at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you might need for your move. Also, be sure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

We've determined the top mover in your area to be University Movers Inc.

Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Harvard 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:
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
