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:
Different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in hiring a moving company is determining whether a national or local company is best suited to your needs. You'll also need to decide if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be your best bet. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not packing assistance. Once you know what you need, find which moving companies meet New York's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Oyster Bay is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team. Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services that you'll need, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Oyster Bay is:
The best mover in Oyster Bay, according to Today's Homeowner, are Maffucci Moving.
To decide which movers in Oyster Bay are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, damage, or loss.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Oyster Bay area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
