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 determine if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as shown above. You'll also need to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be your best bet. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Tennessee's mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Chattanooga's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the cost. In Chattanooga, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Bellhop Moving.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Chattanooga are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience 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. With about 21,457 students attending college within 15 miles of Chattanooga, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Chattanooga tends to have hot temperatures. This means that weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Chattanooga is 98.6. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
The cost of a home in Chattanooga will depend on various factors, such as the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Chattanooga is $295930.
If you choose to rent in Chattanooga, the cost for an apartment is roughly $1,497 per month.
