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. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they arrive.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Maine. You can also read online reviews and look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of the best movers in Gorham is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate. Also, verify that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when talking about moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Gorham is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Allen & Coles Moving Systems.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Gorham are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime will likely be more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 15,371 college students attending school within 15 miles of Gorham will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Gorham's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
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 early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in Gorham can reach 52°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and high snowfall in the winter months.
Gorham's cost of living index is 114.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
