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 picking a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they arrive.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New Jersey. You can also browse online reviews and look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of Metuchen's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can start asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, make sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. You should also check that you receive a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly fee for moving in Metuchen is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Green Line Move Corp.
To figure out which movers in Metuchen are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 75,951 students attending college within 15 miles of Metuchen, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Metuchen tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in Metuchen can reach 61°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
