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:
The first step in choosing a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves.

Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. You can also browse online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating.
