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 picking a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You will also have to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be your best bet. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Pekin's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
After narrowing down your list, you can start talking to companies. It is strongly suggested that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, verify that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
