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:
The first step in deciding on a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have everything packed and ready when they get there. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes. You can learn about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Virginia. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Arlington are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team. Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
