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 have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes.
You can read up on a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in New York. Every company on our list of the best movers in Brooklyn is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to review all the services you need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The expected hourly fee for moving in Brooklyn is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Brooklyn 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 the summer is usually more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 376,273 college students attending school within 15 miles of Brooklyn will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Brooklyn'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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
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 Brooklyn can reach 61°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
