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 determine if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different kinds of moves require different sets of skills, as outlined above. You will also want to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes. Once you know what you need, find which movers meet California's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Castro Valley is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts. Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the movers from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount one can expect to spend hourly for movers in Castro Valley is:

The ideal 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.
