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 movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide 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.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Pennsylvania's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Meadville's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services you may need, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Meadville, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Big Box Rentals by Birkmire.
To figure out which movers in Meadville are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. Meadville also has about 1,968 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. Meadville tends to have cold temperatures. As a result, you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many movers have 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 required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Meadville from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Meadville is 80.4. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
