Start by searching our list of moving helpers, then compare reviews and costs. After finding and contacting potential candidates:
Get at least three estimates from local movers to compare.
Ask for recommendations from family, friends, and neighbors.
Select companies that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
Verify their license, insurance, worker’s compensation, and bond guarantees.
Read reviews and check out their previous work on HomeGuide, Google, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA).
Ask about their warranties and guarantees.
Ask for a full itemized estimate in writing.
Avoid making large payments upfront. Come up with a payment schedule for work completed.
After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the best movers near you.
