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'll also want to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Missouri. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Springfield are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and inquire about getting a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when moving is the cost. In Springfield, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be The Moving Company.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Springfield are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 18,695 college students attending school within 15 miles of Springfield will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Springfield's temperatures tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, damage, or loss.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Springfield's cost of living index is 83.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The median home price in Springfield is 224619, while the average monthly rent is about $1,217.
