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 decide if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves require different sets of skills, as shown above. You will also need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet Pennsylvania's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Springfield's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. We recommend talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Springfield tend to be moderate. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
