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 selecting a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you loathe packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Massachusetts' licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Saugus' best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to at least two of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Saugus, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Saugus are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime 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 160,634 college students attending school within 15 miles of Saugus will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Saugus' temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
