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 you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they arrive.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and 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 New Paltz's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you're going to need when you get an estimate. Also, verify that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in New Paltz are the best ones. They include:

Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in New Paltz tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to New Paltz from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
