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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. Movers can also be divided into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet California's licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of Visalia's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to choose from, you can talk to them and ask about a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with two or more of the companies from our list above. Make sure that you tell them about all of the services that you'll need, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you're going to spend moving. In Visalia, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Visalia, according to Today's Homeowner, are Jack & Jeff Transfer Co.
To decide which movers in Visalia are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 14,869 students attending college within 15 miles of Visalia, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Visalia tends to have moderate temperatures. As a result, you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Begin the process by examining the company's website. Once you discover what services the mover offers, look at reviews of the company on other sites like the BBB, Trustpilot, Google, or Reddit.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The average annual high in Visalia can get up to 66°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.
Visalia's cost of living index is 119.1. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
