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:
The first step in picking a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Michigan's mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Berkley's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and get a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
