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 selecting a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you dread packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also browse online reviews and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Menlo Park's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin the process of getting estimates from them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the company provides you with a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Menlo Park is:
The best mover in Menlo Park, according to Today's Homeowner, are Magic Moving & Storage Inc.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Menlo Park are the best ones. They include:

Many moving companies offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Menlo Park from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
