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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers offer packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in South Carolina. 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 Sumter is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you tell them all of the services you may need, and to verify that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
