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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in hiring a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national company will work best for your needs. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet Michigan's mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Allendale are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to review all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, verify that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Allendale is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Two Men and a Truck.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Allendale are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many moving companies provide 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 required supplies 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 want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Allendale can get up to 55°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Allendale's cost of living index is 103.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
