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 picking a moving company is figuring out 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 moving company. Self-service movers provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be a boon 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 can also discover which movers near you meet all of California's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of San Bruno's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can start contacting movers. It is best to speak with at least one or two of the companies from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in San Bruno, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in San Bruno are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 101,507 students attending college within 15 miles of San Bruno, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. San Bruno tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
