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 a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. Full-service moving companies provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you loathe packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of New York's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Saratoga Springs' best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

The best mover in Saratoga Springs, according to Today's Homeowner, are Arnoff Moving & Storage.
To decide which movers in Saratoga Springs are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is usually more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 12,561 college students attending school within 15 miles of Saratoga Springs will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Saratoga Springs' temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
