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 right for your needs. You also will have to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Massachusetts. You can also browse online reviews and view the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Wellesley's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
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 movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when you get an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
