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 choosing a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you loathe packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Massachusetts. Every company on our list of the best movers in Holden is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you need when you ask for an estimate. Also, verify that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Holden, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Worcester.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Holden are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer tends to 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 27,509 college students attending school within 15 miles of Holden will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Holden tend to be cold. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Many moving companies offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The average annual high in Holden can get up to 55°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
The amount you would pay for a home in Holden will vary based on several factors, including the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Holden is $498943.
If you choose to rent in Holden, the cost for an apartment is roughly $2,147 per month.
