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 want to decide if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as outlined above. You will also have to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you will likely want to find a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
You can check a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in California. Every company on our list of Corcoran's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. It is best to reach out to at least a couple of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly cost for moving in Corcoran is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Cannon Moving & Storage.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Corcoran are the best ones. They include:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Corcoran tends to have hot temperatures. As a result, weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
Many moving companies have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The average annual high in Corcoran can get up to 80°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Corcoran's cost of living index is 97.0. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
