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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. You will also have to decide if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will probably want to find a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Oregon. All of the companies on our list of Albany's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure you explain all the services that you're going to need. You should also verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You may be wondering how much you might spend moving. In Albany, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Albany, according to Today's Homeowner, are Bertsch Moving and Storage.
To find out which movers in Albany are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Begin the process by examining the company's website. Once you discover what services the mover offers, read reviews of the company on other sites such as Reddit, Trustpilot, Google, or the BBB.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
Many movers have 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 necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Albany from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
