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 figure out if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves require different sets of skills, as described above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be very helpful if you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which moving companies meet California's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Valley Center's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.

Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
