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 figure out if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You also will have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, a full-service mover 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.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of Emeryville's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, be sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. You should also verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly fee for moving in Emeryville is:
The best mover in Emeryville, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
To decide which movers in Emeryville are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 152,239 college students attending school within 15 miles of Emeryville will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Emeryville's temperatures 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.
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support 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 Emeryville can get up to 70°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.
Emeryville's cost of living index is 229.4. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
