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 want to decide if you're looking at local or national movers. Different kinds of moves require different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. You will also have to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Ohio's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Lebanon are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can start reaching out to movers. We recommend that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you might need for your move. Also, confirm that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Lebanon is:
The best mover in Lebanon, according to Today's Homeowner, are J Herschell Kendrick Moving.
To decide which movers in Lebanon are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. There are about 3,912 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lebanon, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Lebanon tend to be moderate. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
If you're moving to a different home in Lebanon, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Lebanon 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 Lebanon can get up to 61°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
Lebanon's cost of living index is 112.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
