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. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service movers provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be a boon if you hate packing boxes.
You can read up on the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. Every company on our list of Fairfield's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly fee for moving in Fairfield is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Chipman Relocation & Logistics.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Fairfield are the best ones. They include:
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.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The best 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.
The average annual high in Fairfield can get up to 73°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.
Fairfield's cost of living index is 181.2. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
