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:
Different types of moves are best handled by different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is determining whether a national or local mover is best suited to your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Minnesota. All of the companies on our list of Columbia Heights' best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, be sure that you explain all of the services you'll need.
