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 decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you will probably want to use a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also look for reviews online and take a look at the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of Santa Clara's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can go about asking for estimates. We strongly suggest speaking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a potential provider, make sure you explain all the services you'll need. You should also confirm that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Santa Clara is:
The best mover in Santa Clara, according to Today's Homeowner, are Roadway Moving - San Francisco Moving Company.
To decide which movers in Santa Clara are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 83,515 college students attending school within 15 miles of Santa Clara will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Santa Clara 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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in Santa Clara, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Santa Clara from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Santa Clara can reach 71°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
