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 have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. Full-service moving companies provide packing services, which can be very helpful if you dread packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Washington. You can also look for reviews online and take a look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of the best movers in Arlington is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start calling movers. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the movers from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you will need for your move. Also, be sure that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
