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 work best with different movers. The first step in picking a moving company is determining whether a local or national mover will work best for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Vermont's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Colchester is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.

Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move.

Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Colchester's temperatures tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
