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 a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service mover will provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service mover will provide packing services, which can be a boon if you dread packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which moving companies meet Illinois' mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Rock Falls are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services you may need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly cost for moving in Rock Falls is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be North American Van Lines.
To find out which movers in Rock Falls are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
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.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with Rock Falls and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
