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'll also want to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
You can check the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Louisiana. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Westwego are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the movers from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" — otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Westwego, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The three best movers in Westwego, according to Today's Homeowner, are KEEP IT MOVING - New Orleans, Northshore Moving Company, and Armstrong Relocation.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Westwego are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer will likely be more expensive, as most people move during this season. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 37,427 college students attending school within 15 miles of Westwego will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Westwego tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, damage, or theft.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
Westwego's cost of living index is 102.0. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
High temperatures in Westwego can reach 76°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
