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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is deciding whether a national or local company is best. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
You can find out about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Maryland. Every company on our list of Lake Shore's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can go about asking for estimates. It is recommended that you talk to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a potential provider, make sure you explain all of the services you think you'll require. You should also verify that you receive a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.

To find out which movers in Lake Shore are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 23,728 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lake Shore will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Lake Shore's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Lake Shore and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
