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 a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As illustrated above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
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 discover which movers near you meet all of Ohio's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Painesville's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Painesville are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is often more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. There are about 6,952 college students attending school within 15 miles of Painesville, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
There is also the weather to consider. Painesville's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Painesville from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
