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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of New York's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Utica's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
After you narrow down your list, you can start reaching out to movers. We recommend that you reach out to at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, be sure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly fee for moving in Utica is:
The best mover in Utica, according to Today's Homeowner, are UFIRST MOVERS & LOGISTICS LLC.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Utica are the best ones. They include:
Some moving companies provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, 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, loss, or damage.
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 possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
