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 picking a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you hate packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
You can learn about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Washington. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Mercer Island are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can contact them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly cost for moving in Mercer Island is as follows:
The best mover in Mercer Island, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Mercer Island are the best ones. They include:
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company 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 Mercer Island, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Mercer Island from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
