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 right for your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be a boon if you loathe packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of California's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Lakeside is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start calling movers. It is best to speak with at least one or two of the companies from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, verify that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Lakeside is as follows:
The best mover in Lakeside, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
To figure out which movers in Lakeside are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Some moving companies provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers know the Lakeside area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
