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:
Different types of moves are best handled by different movers. The first step in hiring a moving company is determining whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you hate packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet Pennsylvania's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of Chambersburg's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and ask about a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the cost. In Chambersburg, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Chambersburg, according to Today's Homeowner, are Zodys Moving & Storage.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Chambersburg are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months tends to be more expensive, as this is when most people move. 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 7,599 college students attending school within 15 miles of Chambersburg will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Chambersburg'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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Chambersburg from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
