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 deciding on a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you loathe packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Next, you can find out which moving companies 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 Belchertown are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start calling movers. It is best to discuss your move with at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, be sure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when moving is the cost. In Belchertown, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Belchertown, according to Today's Homeowner, are McGriff Trucking Moving and Storage.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Belchertown 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 45,425 students attending college within 15 miles of Belchertown, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Belchertown tends to have cold temperatures. Therefore you may still want to move during the warmer months to avoid icy conditions.
Some movers provide specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, damage, or theft.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
