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:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in hiring a moving company is deciding whether a local or national mover will work best for your needs. You'll also need to determine if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing. Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Wisconsin's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Onalaska's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts. Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you'll need, and to check that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
