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 shown above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New Jersey. All of the companies on our list of Rutherford's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the movers from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, check that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when talking about moving. The usual amount you might expect to spend hourly for movers in Rutherford is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be FlatRate Moving.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Rutherford are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many moving companies provide 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 tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
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.
