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 selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You also will have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service company can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Florida. Every company on our list of the best movers in St. Petersburg is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
After you have narrowed your list down to just a few companies, you can go about getting estimates from them. It is recommended that you speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do reach out, be sure you explain all the services you'll need. You should also confirm that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
You might be wondering how much you might spend when you move. In St. Petersburg, the normal hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in St. Petersburg, according to Today's Homeowner, are Grand Moving & Storage.
To find out which movers in St. Petersburg are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 38,082 college students attending school within 15 miles of St. Petersburg will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in St. Petersburg 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:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in St. Petersburg can get up to 77°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
The price of a home in St. Petersburg will be based on several factors, including the area of the city you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in St. Petersburg is $374789.
