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 you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of California's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Barstow are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services you may need, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

When you're getting estimates from the companies 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 protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers know the Barstow area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
