How we ranked the top Rochester 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 Rochester, NH.

Rating Methodology

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

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

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 28 companies that offer moving services in the Rochester area.

From these 28 companies, we analyzed a total of 4,699 reviews dating all the way back to May 2007.

We also reviewed a total of 4 state and federal moving licenses from these 28 companies and 123 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~4,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 12,816 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 416 Rochester 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 Interior Moving Services, Inc.) vs older more established companies (like Bridges Bros Movers).
