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:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in hiring a moving company is determining whether a local or national mover is best. Movers can further be split into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have everything packed when they arrive.
Some of the ways you can 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 mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Pacific Grove is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Pacific Grove are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime tends to be more expensive, as most people move during this season. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 12,991 college students attending school within 15 miles of Pacific Grove will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Pacific Grove'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.
Some movers provide 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.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Pacific Grove 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.
