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 right for your needs. You also will have to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Missouri. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of the best movers in Smithville is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure that you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, verify that you are given a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Smithville, according to Today's Homeowner, are American Junk Collective LLC.
To decide which movers in Smithville are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Many moving companies have 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 tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Smithville area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
