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 picking a moving company is figuring out whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. You'll also need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Pennsylvania. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Montgomery are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can begin talking to companies. It is best to speak with at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you might need for your move. Also, be sure that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Montgomery, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Allied Van Lines.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Montgomery are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is often 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 48,242 college students attending school within 15 miles of Montgomery will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Montgomery'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 will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Montgomery from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Montgomery can reach 61°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Montgomery is 139.6. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
