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 determine if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves will need different kinds of experience, as shown above. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you'll be expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
You can check a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in California. All of the companies on our list of Castro Valley's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
After you narrow down your list, you can start talking to companies. We recommend that you talk to at least two of the movers from our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you might need for your move. Also, verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
