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:
Different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in choosing a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national mover will work best for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service mover will provide packing services, which can be a boon if you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of New Hampshire's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Franklin is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin talking to movers. We recommend that you speak with at least one or two of the movers from 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 most people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Franklin, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Franklin, according to Today's Homeowner, are Central Lakes Region Movers.
To figure out which movers in Franklin are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. There are about 6,671 college students attending school within 15 miles of Franklin, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
There is also the weather to consider. Franklin's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
