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:
First, you'll need to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different kinds of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Maryland's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a moving company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Annapolis' best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin talking to companies. We recommend that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Annapolis, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Annapolis, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Annapolis.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Annapolis are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is often 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 21,979 college students attending school within 15 miles of Annapolis will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Annapolis tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Annapolis can get up to 61°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
The median home price in Annapolis is 571768, while the average monthly rent is about $2,360.
