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 national or local company is best. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Homer Glen are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin calling companies. It is strongly suggested that you discuss your move with at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you will 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.
You might be wondering how much you might spend when you move. In Homer Glen, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Southwest Chicago.
To decide which movers in Homer Glen are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 43,679 college students attending school within 15 miles of Homer Glen will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Homer Glen tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Many moving companies offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Homer Glen area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Homer Glen can get up to 58°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
