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 decide if you're considering national or local movers. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as described above. You'll also need to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to employ a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you may be happy with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet California's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of South San Francisco's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in South San Francisco, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gentle Giant Moving Company.
To figure out which movers in South San Francisco are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what the mover specializes in, read reviews of the company on other sites such as the BBB, Reddit, Trustpilot, or Google.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
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 required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
