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 picking a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As outlined above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company.

A full-service mover will provide packing services, which can be very helpful if you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Ohio. You can also browse online reviews and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Urbana are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start contacting them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the movers on our list above.
