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. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you hate packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of California's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Modesto are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start contacting movers. It is strongly suggested that you talk to at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, be sure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

We've determined the top mover in your area to be Mid Cal Moving & Storage - Bekins.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Modesto are the best ones. They include:
Some moving companies offer specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, 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 tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of theft, loss, or damage.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
