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 better for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have everything packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service moving companies offer packing services, which can be a boon if you dread packing boxes.
You can read up on a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in New York. All of the companies on our list of Baldwin's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Baldwin is:
The best mover in Baldwin, according to Today's Homeowner, are Lite Moving and Sons Inc. / LM & SONS Moving and Storage.
To figure out which movers in Baldwin are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, as most people move during this season. 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 94,623 college students attending school within 15 miles of Baldwin will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Baldwin tend to be cool. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Baldwin area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
