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 selecting a moving company is deciding whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service moving company will provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of California's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Irvine is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you narrow down your list, you can begin contacting companies. We recommend that you speak with at least two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, make sure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a big concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount one can expect to spend hourly for movers in Irvine is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Best Fit Movers.
To figure out which movers in Irvine 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 months is often more expensive, as most people move during this season. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 135,144 college students attending school within 15 miles of Irvine will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Irvine 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.
If you're moving to a different home in Irvine, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Irvine from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Irvine can reach 70°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The amount you would pay for a home in Irvine will depend on multiple factors, including 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 Irvine is $1308421.
If you choose to rent in Irvine, the cost for an apartment is roughly $3,319 per month.
