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're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be great if you dread packing boxes.
Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of California's licensing requirements for movers. All of the companies on our list of Vineyard's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the movers on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Vineyard is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Mother Lode Van & Storage Inc.
To find out which movers in Vineyard are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Many moving companies have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Vineyard from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Vineyard can get up to 75°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.
