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 selecting a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you loathe packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Michigan's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Scio are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Scio, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Scio, according to Today's Homeowner, are Palmer Moving Services.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Scio are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 56,662 college students attending school within 15 miles of Scio will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Scio's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Some movers provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Scio's cost of living index is 139.0. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The median home price in Scio is 410871, while the average monthly rent is about $1,644.
