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 better for your needs. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Minnesota. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Oakdale's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you're going to spend when you move. In Oakdale, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Oakdale, according to Today's Homeowner, are Premium Moving Services.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Oakdale are the best ones. They include:
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company 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 protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Oakdale from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
