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:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in picking a moving company is determining whether a national or local mover is best suited to your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service mover will provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet California's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of the best movers in Costa Mesa is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to select from, you can reach out to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Costa Mesa, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Best Fit Movers.
To figure out which movers in Costa Mesa are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 134,323 students attending college within 15 miles of Costa Mesa, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Costa Mesa 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.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
Costa Mesa's cost of living index is 192.2. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The cost of a home in Costa Mesa will depend on several factors, such as the area of the city you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Costa Mesa is $1198472.
If you choose to rent in Costa Mesa, the cost for an apartment is roughly $2,891 per month.
