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 better for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Illinois' mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Harwood Heights' best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of asking for estimates. It is recommended that you speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. You should also verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Harwood Heights is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be JC Movers & Lumper Service Inc.
To find out which movers in Harwood Heights are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
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 necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving to a different home in Harwood Heights, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Harwood Heights from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
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.
