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 deciding on a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you hate packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Some of the ways by which you might 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 Ohio's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Fairborn are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can begin contacting movers. We recommend that you speak with at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you will need for your move. Also, make sure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in Fairborn, according to Today's Homeowner, are Dow Moving.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Fairborn are the best ones. They include:

Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 25,109 college students attending school within 15 miles of Fairborn will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Fairborn's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
