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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in selecting a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national company is best. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company 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.
