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 right for your needs. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Iowa. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Oskaloosa's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin the process of asking for estimates. We strongly suggest speaking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure you explain all the services that you're going to need. You should also verify that you receive a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
