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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is determining whether a national or local mover is best. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Woodstock's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a big concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Woodstock is:
The best mover in Woodstock, according to Today's Homeowner, are University Movers Inc.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Woodstock are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime will likely be more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. There are about 4,548 college students attending school within 15 miles of Woodstock, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Woodstock tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
If you're moving to a different home in Woodstock, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Woodstock from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
High temperatures in Woodstock can reach 56°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
Woodstock's cost of living index is 104.6. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
