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 selecting 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. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. You can also browse online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Swansea's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do reach out, be sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. You should also confirm that you receive a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you have is how much your move will cost. The expected hourly fee for moving in Swansea is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Dodge Moving & Storage.
To figure out which movers in Swansea 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 is usually more expensive, as this is when most people move. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 21,373 college students attending school within 15 miles of Swansea will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Swansea's temperatures tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
High temperatures in Swansea can reach 65°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
Swansea's cost of living index is 96.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
