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 need to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and 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 may also want to know which movers near you meet all of New York's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Holbrook is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to two or more of the movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Holbrook, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Avatar Relocation of NY Inc.
To find out which movers in Holbrook are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 42,711 students attending college within 15 miles of Holbrook, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Holbrook tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
