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:
The first step in choosing a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New Hampshire. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of the best movers in Amherst is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Amherst is as follows:
The best mover in Amherst, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Amherst are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some moving companies provide 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 damage, theft, or loss.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Amherst and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Amherst can get up to 54°F, and the area is in the top third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
