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 will also have to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing. Next, you can find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Hillsborough's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our experts. Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the moving companies on our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly cost for moving in Hillsborough is as follows:
The best mover in Hillsborough, according to Today's Homeowner, are Nice Bay Movers.
To find out which movers in Hillsborough are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Both cost and convenience are 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 110,077 students attending college within 15 miles of Hillsborough, 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. Hillsborough tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The most optimal 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.
