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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You'll also need to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of Skokie's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin talking to companies. It is strongly suggested that you speak with at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, be sure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you're going to spend on your move. In Skokie, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be King David Moving & Storage Inc.
To figure out which movers in Skokie are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months tends to be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 167,315 college students attending school within 15 miles of Skokie will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Skokie's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some movers provide 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 loss, theft, or damage.
The average annual high in Skokie can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
