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're better off with a national or local mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also need to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of California's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Montclair is well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, verify that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you're going to spend moving. In Montclair, the usual hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Montclair, according to Today's Homeowner, are North American Van Lines - Executive Moving Systems.
To decide which movers in Montclair are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. 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 134,110 college students attending school within 15 miles of Montclair will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Montclair's temperatures 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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Montclair from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
The average annual high in Montclair can get up to 77°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
