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 need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes. Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Massachusetts. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Arlington are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team. Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
