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 choosing a moving company is determining whether a local or national company is best. You will also have to decide if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Kansas' licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Manhattan are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to two or more of the movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly cost for moving in Manhattan is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Allied Van Lines.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Manhattan are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime tends to be more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 19,727 college students attending school within 15 miles of Manhattan will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Manhattan tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
Manhattan's cost of living index is 104.4. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The median home price in Manhattan is 256810, while the average monthly rent is about $1,189.
