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:
First, you'll want to figure out if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as described above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers offer packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in West Virginia. You can also look for reviews online and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Wheeling are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you reach out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do reach out, make sure you explain all of the services you'll need. Also, verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You are likely wondering how much you're going to spend when you move. In Wheeling, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be All Ways Moving & Storage®.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Wheeling are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Wheeling 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 have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
