Even if you are moving in an area with lower traffic (like Arcadia), you may still have many stresses and concerns around your moving day. In the cooler months, the low temperatures may make moving a bit less fun.

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 whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of California's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Arcadia's best movers are well-reviewed and selected 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 highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you tell them about all of the services you may need, 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 Arcadia, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Arcadia, according to Today's Homeowner, are Two Men and a Truck.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Arcadia are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime will likely be more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 207,298 college students attending school within 15 miles of Arcadia will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Arcadia'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.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers know the Arcadia area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as far in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in Arcadia can reach 71°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
Arcadia's cost of living index is 166.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
