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 will also have to decide if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that offers packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things. You can learn about the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Louisiana. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Lafayette are well-reviewed and selected by our experts. Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the movers from our list above. Be sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when moving is the price tag. In Lafayette, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Baton Rouge.
To find out which movers in Lafayette are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 19,688 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lafayette will be moving in those months as well.Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Lafayette 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 most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Lafayette can reach 77°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
Lafayette's cost of living index is 99.2. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
