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 movers are suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in picking a moving company is deciding whether a national or local company will work best for your needs. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Ohio. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Miami's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can start getting estimates from them. We recommend speaking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, be sure that you explain all the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Miami 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
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
