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 selecting a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also need to decide if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things. 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. Every company on our list of Salem's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts. Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services you may need, and to ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
