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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. You'll also want to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Massachusetts. You can also read online reviews and look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Somerville are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, verify that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

We've determined the top mover in your area to be Gentle Giant Moving Company.

Some moving companies provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, 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 experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, theft, or damage.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
