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 moves work best with different movers. The first step in choosing a moving company is deciding whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have everything packed and ready when they get there. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be very helpful if you dread packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might 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 licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Pleasant Hill is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you have a small list of companies to select from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking 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 the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The typical amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Pleasant Hill is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Magic Moving & Storage, Inc.
To figure out which movers in Pleasant Hill are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is often more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 73,639 college students attending school within 15 miles of Pleasant Hill will be moving in those months as well.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Pleasant Hill'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.
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 have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
