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 movers. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you hate packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Maryland's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Lansdowne's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a potential provider, make sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, confirm that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you're going to spend on your move. In Lansdowne, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Allied Van Lines.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Lansdowne are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 101,899 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lansdowne will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Lansdowne's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Many movers have 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.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Lansdowne from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Lansdowne can reach 62°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
