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 better for your needs. You will also have to figure out if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, you will probably want to find a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet California's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Palmdale's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. It is best to reach out to two or more of the movers from our list above. Be sure to review all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, check that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Palmdale, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be C&C Moving Specialist.
To figure out which movers in Palmdale are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. Palmdale also has about 1,338 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Palmdale tends to have hot temperatures. Therefore weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
