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. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service movers provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. A full-service mover will provide packing services, which can be great if you dread packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Louisiana. You can also read online reviews and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Bastrop is well-reviewed and chosen 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 talk 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 that you're going to need. Also, check that you are given a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when moving is the cost. In Bastrop, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be America Moves.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Bastrop are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is usually more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. There are about 3,004 college students attending school within 15 miles of Bastrop, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Bastrop's temperatures 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.
Begin the process by examining the company's website. Once you discover what services the mover offers, read reviews of the company on other sites like Google, Trustpilot, Reddit, or the BBB.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover before.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Bastrop is 62.5. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
