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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also want to determine if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Wisconsin. You can also look for reviews online and view the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Shorewood's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can begin getting estimates from them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure that you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, verify that you are given a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.

You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Shorewood tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The most optimal 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.
