How we ranked the top Waukee 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 Waukee, IA.

Rating Methodology

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

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

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 16 companies that offer moving services in the Waukee area.

From these 16 companies, we analyzed a total of 1,646 reviews dating all the way back to February 2009.

We also reviewed a total of 0 state and federal moving licenses from these 16 companies and 71 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~1,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 3,712 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 454 Waukee 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 Adamantine Spine Moving) vs older more established companies (like Two Men and a Truck).
