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:
First, you'll need to figure out if you're considering national or local movers. Different kinds of moves will need different sets of skills, as outlined above. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Massachusetts' mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Winchester's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly fee for moving in Winchester is:
The best mover in Winchester, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Winchester are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 166,689 students attending college within 15 miles of Winchester, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Winchester tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many moving companies have 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 supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
