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'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service mover will provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service moving companies provide packing services, which can be very helpful if you hate packing boxes.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Michigan. Every company on our list of Oak Park'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 inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you might spend moving. In Oak Park, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Oakland County.
To figure out which movers in Oak Park are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Begin the process by examining the company's website. Once you discover what the mover specializes in, look at reviews of the company on other sites such as the BBB, Reddit, Trustpilot, or Google.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
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 necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The average annual high in Oak Park can get up to 55°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
Oak Park's cost of living index is 120.5. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
