Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Arizona's mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Phoenix are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you should expect to spend on your move. In Phoenix, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Creative Moving and Packing, LLC.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Phoenix are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 324,264 students attending college within 15 miles of Phoenix, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Phoenix tends to have hot temperatures. As a result, weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Phoenix can reach 82°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The median home price in Phoenix is 415258, while the average monthly rent is about $1,798.
