Best 5 Movers in Levittown, NY

How to Choose the Best Local Mover in Levittown

Some factors you should consider when looking for a moving company include cost, services offered, customer reviews, and licensing.

Determine Your Budget

According to our research, Levittown moving companies charge $117 per hour on average. The average cost overall is $4,580 for two-bedroom homes. Your move date, home size, move distance, and any additional services you need will affect your actual cost.

You should obtain quotes from a minimum of three movers in your area. Ask for written estimates that provide a clear breakdown of the total cost, including the flat fee or hourly rate. Keep the estimate from your mover and compare it to the final invoice to ensure fair pricing.

Read Customer Reviews

Moving companies need customer feedback. Take the time to read customer reviews on platforms such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, social media, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp to find moving companies with excellent customer service.

Ensure Proper Licensing

Moving companies in Levittown must follow different licensing requirements depending on their service area. If you are moving from one New York city to another, make sure your mover holds a New York Department of Transportation license.

If you're moving to or from another state, the regulations are different. Choose a company licensed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It should also have active United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Motor Carrier (MC) numbers, which you can use on the FMCSA’s mover registration search tool to look up a mover’s registration status and complaint history.

Services

Assess whether your chosen mover can provide the services that meet your expectations while obtaining quotes. Take a full inventory of your home before getting quotes and write down any basic or add-on services you may need. Tell the moving company about any particular needs to evaluate if the company is a good fit.

Types of Moving Services

Full-service movers deliver the following basic services as a part of their base price:

• Basic wrapping materials for furniture protection
• Loading and unloading
• Released liability coverage for loss or damage

Tell your moving company about the additional services you require while going through the quote process. These services may result in higher pricing for your move:

• Crating for art or antiques
• Extra flights of stairs
• Long carries
• Packing
• Piano moving
• Storage
• Unpacking
• Vehicle shipping

Tips To Consider When Moving in Levittown, NY

Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind for your Levittown move.

Schedule an Early Move

Levittown traffic during rush hour is notoriously congested. Navigating gridlock in a moving truck is even more challenging than with a personal-use vehicle. Movers getting stuck in traffic will typically lead to higher costs if they charge by the hour. Arranging your move for the early morning ensures that your movers arrive before traffic peaks and head to your new home in the afternoon when traffic is less congested.

Avoid Busy Season

May to September marks the peak moving season and Levittown's hottest time of the year. Moving at this time can slow or worsen your moving process, particularly if you begin your search for a moving company too close to your move. The increased demand could make it harder to secure your desired mover. By planning your move at least eight weeks in advance, you should be able to lock in your desired moving company. However, keep in mind the possibility that the hot weather could pose difficulties for your movers.

Pack in Advance

We suggest you begin packing around six weeks before your move to avoid stressing over last-minute packing on your moving day. Packing some items each day can make the process less overwhelming. Most movers won't transport items that haven't been packed by the time your move begins.
