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:
The first step in choosing a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As illustrated above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers offer packing services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Arizona's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Scottsdale is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. It is best to speak with at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when moving is the cost. In Scottsdale, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Scottsdale, according to Today's Homeowner, are Jones Moving & Storage.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Scottsdale are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 302,755 college students attending school within 15 miles of Scottsdale will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Scottsdale's temperatures tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what the mover specializes in, read reviews of the company on other sites such as Trustpilot, the BBB, Reddit, or Google.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
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.
The average annual high in Scottsdale can get up to 82°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
The price of a home in Scottsdale will vary based on multiple factors, including the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Scottsdale is $782937.
If you choose to rent in Scottsdale, the cost for an apartment is roughly $2,133 per month.
