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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes. Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Indiana's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Lawrence are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts. Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can start getting estimates from them. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
