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 right for your needs. You'll also need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you loathe packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Florida's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Merritt Island's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can go about getting estimates from them. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, be sure you explain all the services you'll need. You should also verify that you are given a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Merritt Island, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be A Better Budget Moving & Labor Inc.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Merritt Island are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is usually more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 12,454 college students attending school within 15 miles of Merritt Island will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Merritt Island tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Merritt Island can get up to 81°F, and the area is in the top third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Merritt Island's cost of living index is 110.6. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
