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 choosing a moving company is deciding whether a national or local company is best suited to your needs. You'll also want to determine if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Virginia's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of Newport News' best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you talk to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure that you explain all the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Newport News is as follows:
The best mover in Newport News, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
To decide which movers in Newport News are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 45,138 college students attending school within 15 miles of Newport News will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Newport News tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
If you're moving to a different home in Newport News, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Newport News from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
