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 want to decide if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves will need different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service companies also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Pennsylvania. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Hershey is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
