Before you sign
Push for a binding, or binding not-to-exceed, estimate rather than a verbal quote; a non-binding one can legally increase once the job is underway. Verify the mover holds a valid Connecticut DOT certificate for in-state moves. A steep driveway, narrow rural road, or multiple flights of stairs can trigger a long-carry or stair fee, so disclose your home's layout upfront. Basic liability coverage pays out only about $0.60 per pound per item, so ask about upgrading if you own expensive electronics or furniture. Pack a first-night box with toiletries, chargers, and basic tools and keep it in your own car rather than on the truck.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Naugatuck Valley Planning Region rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
