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 picking a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You also will have 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 movers also offer 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. You can find out about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Massachusetts. All of the companies on our list of Chelsea's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team. Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can talk to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you'll need, and to ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when moving is the price tag. In Chelsea, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Chelsea are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 173,599 college students attending school within 15 miles of Chelsea will be moving in those months as well.There is also the weather to consider. Chelsea's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer 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.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Chelsea can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the top third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Chelsea's cost of living index is 184.7. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
