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 selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes. Once you know what you need, learn which Wichita movers meet Kansas' licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website.

Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure that you explain all the services you'll need. Also, confirm that you are given a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
