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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You'll also need to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of New Jersey's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of South Plainfield's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can reach out to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services you may need, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in South Plainfield, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service.
