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 need to determine if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as shown above. You will also need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Florida. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Miami'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 start asking for estimates. We strongly suggest speaking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all the services you'll need. You should also verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly cost for moving in Miami is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Miami are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 100,757 students attending college within 15 miles of Miami, 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. Miami tends to have hot temperatures. This means that weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in Miami, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Miami from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Miami can reach 82°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The median home price in Miami is 561053, while the average monthly rent is about $3,112.
