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 want to figure out if you're looking at local or national movers. Different types of moves will need different kinds of experience, as shown above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes.
You can read up on a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Ohio. Every company on our list of West Carrollton's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to at least a couple of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you're going to need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly cost for moving in West Carrollton is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Dow Moving.
To figure out which movers in West Carrollton are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months tends to be more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 20,010 college students attending school within 15 miles of West Carrollton will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. West Carrollton's temperatures tend to be moderate. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with West Carrollton and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in West Carrollton can get up to 61°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
The median home price in West Carrollton is 159825, while the average monthly rent is about $1,425.
