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 deciding on a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You will also want to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Illinois' mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Schaumburg's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to two or more of the movers from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, check that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Schaumburg from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
