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 decide if you're considering national or local movers. Different kinds of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as outlined above. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you hate packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they arrive. Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Massachusetts' mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a moving company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Worcester's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts. Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly cost for moving in Worcester is as follows:
The best mover in Worcester, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Worcester.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Worcester are the best ones. They include:
Many movers provide 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.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers know the Worcester area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Worcester can reach 55°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and high snowfall in the winter months.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Worcester is 137.3. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
