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 have to figure out if you're looking at local or national movers. Different types of moves will need different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service company can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Pennsylvania. All of the companies on our list of Buffalo's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can begin reaching out to companies. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

Buffalo also has about 3,844 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Buffalo tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Buffalo and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
