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 deciding on a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
You can find out about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New York. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Plattsburgh are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you tell them all of the services that you'll need, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Plattsburgh, according to Today's Homeowner, are CARPENTER BROS. MOVING & STORAGE, INC.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Plattsburgh are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience 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. Plattsburgh also has about 6,650 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Plattsburgh tends to have cold temperatures. Therefore you may still want to move during the warmer months to avoid icy conditions.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
Plattsburgh's cost of living index is 81.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
