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 a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes. You can find out about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Minnesota. Every company on our list of Bloomington's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team. After narrowing down your list, you can begin calling movers. It is strongly suggested that you discuss your move with at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in Bloomington, according to Today's Homeowner, are Lunar Moving Services.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Bloomington are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 109,908 college students attending school within 15 miles of Bloomington will be moving in those months as well.Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Bloomington's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
