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 have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you're expected to have everything packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will provide packing services, which can be great if you loathe packing boxes.
You can find out about a company's reputation using online reviews or the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Louisiana. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Opelousas are well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you're going to need when you ask for an estimate. Also, check that they've given you a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
