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. You will also have to determine if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing.
You can find out about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Maine. Every company on our list of Westbrook's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start reaching out to companies. We recommend that you speak with at least 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, verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You may be wondering how much you might spend on your move. In Westbrook, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Westbrook, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allen & Coles Moving Systems.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Westbrook are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is usually more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. 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 Westbrook will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Westbrook's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
Many movers provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The average annual high in Westbrook can get up to 52°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Westbrook is 110.3. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
