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 if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they arrive.
Some good ways to 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 Oregon's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Happy Valley's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can start asking for estimates. We strongly suggest speaking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When talking to a potential provider, be sure that you explain all the services you'll need. Also, confirm that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.

We've determined the top mover in your area to be Alexander's Mobility Services - Atlas Van Lines.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Happy Valley are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many moving companies offer 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 equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
