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 deciding on a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also want to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that has a packing service. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing. You can learn about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. Every company on our list of Antioch's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts. Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to select from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Antioch'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.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck.
