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:
First, you'll have to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Iowa. You can also browse online reviews and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Sioux City's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can start talking to movers. We recommend that you discuss your move with at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, confirm that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
