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 mover. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be great if you dread packing boxes.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and 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 the best movers in Lake Villa is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can begin asking for estimates. We recommend speaking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, make sure you explain all of the services that you're going to need.

Some movers provide specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
