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 selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in New York. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Wallkill are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the movers from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The typical amount one can expect to spend hourly for movers in Wallkill is:
The best mover in Wallkill, according to Today's Homeowner, are Frenchy Helping Hands LLC.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Wallkill are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is usually more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. There are about 5,413 college students attending school within 15 miles of Wallkill, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Wallkill's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
Many moving companies have 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 necessary equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving to a different home in Wallkill, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Wallkill from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
The average annual high in Wallkill can get up to 57°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Wallkill's cost of living index is 144.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
