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:
The first step in choosing a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be great if you dread packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Lake Forest's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the movers on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you're going to need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you're going to spend on your move. In Lake Forest, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Best Fit Movers.
To find out which movers in Lake Forest are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 109,195 students attending college within 15 miles of Lake Forest, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Lake Forest tends to have hot temperatures. As a result, weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
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 have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Lake Forest is 226.2. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
