How we ranked the top Centralia 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 Centralia, IL.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Centralia:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 12 companies that offer moving services in the Centralia area.

From these 12 companies, we analyzed a total of 2,264 reviews dating all the way back to December 2007.

We also reviewed a total of 3 state and federal moving licenses from these 12 companies and 62 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~2,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 8,006 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 828 Centralia 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(like Murphy Family Movers) vs older more established companies (like Skyline Movers).
