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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Maryland. All of the companies on our list of College Park's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin contacting companies. It is strongly suggested that you speak with at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, ensure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you might spend when you move. In College Park, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in College Park are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 133,257 students attending college within 15 miles of College Park, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. College Park tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many moving companies 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 tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support 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 College Park can get up to 63°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 College Park is 423869, while the average monthly rent is about $1,973.
