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 moving company. Self-service movers provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you loathe packing boxes. Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Texas' licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of Alton's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts. Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services you may need, and to ensure that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Alton area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
