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 looking at local or national movers. Different kinds of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as outlined above. You'll also need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you will probably want to use a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
You can check a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Massachusetts. Every company on our list of the best movers in Ashland is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin talking to companies. We recommend that you discuss your move with at least one or two of the movers from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, be sure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Ashland is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Lifetime Moving Co.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Ashland are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 18,527 students attending college within 15 miles of Ashland, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Ashland tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
If you're moving to a different home in Ashland, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Ashland from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
