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 deciding on a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have your things packed when they get there.
You can find out about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in California. Every company on our list of Scotts Valley's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the movers from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, check that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Scotts Valley is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be North American Van Lines.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Scotts Valley are the best ones. They include:
Some movers offer 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 tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
