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 deciding on a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you hate packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive. You can find out about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New Jersey. All of the companies on our list of Irvington's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts. Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
