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:
First, you'll need to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves require different sets of skills, as outlined above. You'll also need to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you will probably want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Altadena's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can talk to them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services you may need, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Altadena is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Affordable Moving LLC.
To figure out which movers in Altadena are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime will likely be 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 186,016 college students attending school within 15 miles of Altadena will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Altadena 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 kinds of services the mover offers, read reviews of the company on other sites such as the BBB, Google, Reddit, or Trustpilot.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
High temperatures in Altadena can reach 71°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The median home price in Altadena is 1165712, while the average monthly rent is about $3,378.
