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 decide if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as illustrated above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New York. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of Southeast's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you need when asking for an estimate. Also, verify that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when talking about moving. The usual amount you might expect to spend hourly for movers in Southeast is:
The best mover in Southeast, according to Today's Homeowner, are Murphy Moving & Storage.
To decide which movers in Southeast are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime will likely be more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. There are about 5,206 college students attending school within 15 miles of Southeast, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Southeast tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal 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.
Southeast's cost of living index is 141.5. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
