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 selecting a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes. You can find out about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Wisconsin. Every company on our list of Waukesha's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team. Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly fee for moving in Waukesha is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Milwaukee.
To figure out which movers in Waukesha are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 10,712 college students attending school within 15 miles of Waukesha will be moving in those months as well.You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in Waukesha tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
If you're moving to a different home in Waukesha, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Waukesha from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
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.
The average annual high in Waukesha can get up to 54°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Waukesha's cost of living index is 116.5. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
