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:
The first step in picking a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also want to decide if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation 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. All of the companies on our list of San Carlos' best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. We recommend speaking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do reach out, be sure you explain all the services that you're going to need. Also, verify that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You may be wondering how much you should expect to spend when you move. In San Carlos, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Nice Bay Movers.
To decide which movers in San Carlos are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 58,063 students attending college within 15 miles of San Carlos, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. San Carlos tends to have moderate temperatures. As a result, you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
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.
