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 better for different types of moves. The first step in selecting a moving company is deciding whether a local or national company is best. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Next, you can find out 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. All of the companies on our list of Manchester's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start getting estimates from them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, be sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. Also, confirm that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you should expect to spend on your move. In Manchester, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Manchester, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
To decide which movers in Manchester 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 will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 34,819 college students attending school within 15 miles of Manchester will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Manchester's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, 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, loss, or theft.
