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 have to decide if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as shown above. You'll also need to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in California. Every company on our list of the best movers in Burlingame is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can start getting estimates from them. We strongly suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure you explain all of the services that you're going to need. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the cost. In Burlingame, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Burlingame, according to Today's Homeowner, are Nice Bay Movers.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Burlingame are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. 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 110,604 college students attending school within 15 miles of Burlingame will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Burlingame tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Some movers provide specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Burlingame can get up to 65°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Burlingame's cost of living index is 242.8. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
