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 need to decide if you're looking at local or national movers. Different types of moves will need different sets of skills, as described above. You'll also want to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that has a packing service. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Mississippi's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of Laurel's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start talking to companies. It is strongly suggested that you reach out to at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you will need for your move. Also, confirm that the estimate they provide 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 Laurel, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Laurel, according to Today's Homeowner, are Spyder Moving Services.
To decide which movers in Laurel are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. There are about 4,455 college students attending school within 15 miles of Laurel, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Laurel's temperatures tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in Laurel, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Laurel from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Laurel can reach 75°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
