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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service movers. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet California's mover licensing requirements. Other ways to research a moving company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of El Monte's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can start asking for estimates. We strongly suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, be sure that you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.

To find out which movers in El Monte are the best, our team asks many questions, including:

Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 248,916 college students attending school within 15 miles of El Monte will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in El Monte tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the El Monte area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
