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 selecting a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New Jersey. You can also look for reviews online and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Gloucester's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest speaking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, make sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Gloucester, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Sinclair Moving & Storage.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Gloucester are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some movers 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 experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, damage, or theft.
The most optimal 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.
