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 better for your needs. You'll also want to decide if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you will probably want to find a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Once you know what you need, learn which movers meet Virginia's licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of the best movers in Norfolk is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Norfolk is as follows:
The best mover in Norfolk, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Virginia Beach.
To figure out which movers in Norfolk are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is usually more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 49,076 college students attending school within 15 miles of Norfolk will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Norfolk tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Some movers provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Norfolk is 110.2. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
The median home price in Norfolk is 284367, while the average monthly rent is about $1,475.
