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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also want to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Ohio. You can also look for reviews online and view the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Canton's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you talk to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure that you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the company provides you with a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You may be wondering how much you're going to spend on your move. In Canton, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Canton, according to Today's Homeowner, are New Roots Moving Company.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Canton are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 19,521 college students attending school within 15 miles of Canton will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Canton tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Canton and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
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.
