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 determine if you need a national or a local mover. Different kinds of moves will need different kinds of experience, as shown above. You'll also need to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see 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 Ottawa are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you'll need, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required 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:
