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 if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also need to determine if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, you will probably want to find a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
Some of the ways by which you might 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 Lake Oswego's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure you explain all the services you think you'll require. You should also check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.

A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
