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 considering national or local movers. Different types of moves will need different kinds of experience, as shown above. You'll also need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to find a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Ohio. 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 Cleveland are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Cleveland, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Moving Buddy.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Cleveland are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 42,115 students attending college within 15 miles of Cleveland, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Cleveland tends to have moderate temperatures. This means that you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies 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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Cleveland's cost of living index is 94.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The median home price in Cleveland is 101925, while the average monthly rent is about $1,348.
