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 want to determine if you're considering national or local movers. Different kinds of moves will need different kinds of experience, as shown 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 offers packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
Next, you can find out which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in California. You can also read online reviews and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Torrance's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when thinking about moving. The typical amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Torrance is:
The best mover in Torrance, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
To find out which movers in Torrance are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
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 equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in Torrance, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Torrance from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle cross-country moves.
The average annual high in Torrance can get up to 71°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Torrance's cost of living index is 199.4. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
