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 choosing 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. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you're someone who hates packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there. Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Indiana. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Lafayette's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts. Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services you may need, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount you can expect to spend hourly for movers in Lafayette is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Colt Moving.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Lafayette are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 29,977 students attending college within 15 miles of Lafayette, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Lafayette tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
If you're moving to a different home in Lafayette, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Lafayette from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
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.
