10 Best Moving Companies in Salem, VA

You probably won't be surprised to learn that people cite moving as one of the most stressful things they've done. Even smaller cities and towns like Salem have their own headaches to contend with. Any move has a lot of moving parts, and you may find yourself frequently worrying.

Let our expertly curated guide to the best movers in Salem help eliminate your stress and get you excited for your new home.

Choosing a Salem Moving Company

First, you'll need to decide if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves require different sets of skills, as illustrated above. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they arrive.

You can check the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Virginia. Every company on our list of Salem's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.

Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
