How we ranked the top DC movers
Why you should trust us
We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in DC.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in DC:
Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 87 companies that offer moving services in the DC area.
From these 87 companies, we analyzed a total of 27,022 reviews dating all the way back to March 2008.
We also reviewed a total of 5 state and federal moving licenses from these 87 companies and 381 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~27,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 94,597 data points to compute individual company scores.
Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 6,699 Washington moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.
Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
