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. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you're someone who hates packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Virginia. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Roanoke's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you might spend when you move. In Roanoke, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Roanoke, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Roanoke are the best ones. They include:
Many movers provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving to a different home in Roanoke, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Roanoke from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
