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:
First, you'll have to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different kinds of moves require different kinds of experience, as described above. You'll also want to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also read online reviews and view the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Sacramento are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to explain to them all of the services you may need, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly fee for moving in Sacramento is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be A Better Moving & Storage Co., Inc.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Sacramento are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some moving companies 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 experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, theft, or damage.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Sacramento's cost of living index is 143.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The median home price in Sacramento is 471129, while the average monthly rent is about $2,136.
