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 picking a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also read online reviews and look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of the best movers in Long Beach is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start contacting movers. We recommend that you discuss your move with at least two of the companies on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in Long Beach, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
To decide which movers in Long Beach are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months tends to be more expensive, as this is when most people move. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 150,476 college students attending school within 15 miles of Long Beach will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Long Beach 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.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Long Beach area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
