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 company is best suited to your needs. You'll also need to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply 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 benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. All of the companies on our list of Olney's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can go about asking for estimates. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. Also, verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Olney, according to Today's Homeowner, are Belmont Moving Corp.
To find out which movers in Olney are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. Olney also has about 833 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Olney 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
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, 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 tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, loss, or damage.
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
