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 shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you dread packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of New Jersey's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in New Providence are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you'll need, and to check that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when moving is the cost. In New Providence, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Oz Moving & Storage - Movers New Jersey.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in New Providence are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is usually more expensive, as this is when most people move. 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 137,958 college students attending school within 15 miles of New Providence will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. New Providence's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what the mover specializes in, look at reviews of the company on other sites such as Trustpilot, the BBB, Google, or Reddit.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in New Providence can reach 60°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
New Providence's cost of living index is 186.5. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
