Moving is a stressful and hectic time, and it's not a job that anyone really enjoys.

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 have to figure out if you're considering national or local movers. Different kinds of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as described above. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service company can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Michigan's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Westwood's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin contacting movers. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, confirm that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Westwood, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Westwood, according to Today's Homeowner, are Mulder's Moving & Storage.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Westwood are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 19,881 college students attending school within 15 miles of Westwood will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Westwood tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Some movers offer 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 loss, theft, or damage.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Westwood from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
The average annual high in Westwood can get up to 56°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
The median home price in Westwood is 243402, while the average monthly rent is about $1,479.
