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 choosing a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You will also have to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will probably want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and 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 licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Wakefield are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all the services you'll need. You should also confirm that the company provides you with a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Wakefield is as follows:
The best mover in Wakefield, according to Today's Homeowner, are MyProMovers.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Wakefield are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 113,652 college students attending school within 15 miles of Wakefield will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Wakefield tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with Wakefield and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Wakefield is 166.5. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.

If you choose to rent in Wakefield, the cost for an apartment is roughly $2,386 per month.
