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:
First, you'll need to determine if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. You will also have to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
You can read up on 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. Every company on our list of Oyster Bay's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin talking to companies. We recommend that you talk to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, ensure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Oyster Bay, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Maffucci Moving.
To find out which movers in Oyster Bay are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving to a different home in Oyster Bay, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Oyster Bay from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
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.
The average annual high in Oyster Bay can get up to 59°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
