You probably won't be surprised to hear that people often cite moving as one of the most stressful times in their lives. Even if you're moving to a smaller town (like Texas) with less crowded streets, you might be concerned about navigating around a big truck and all of your possessions. When temperatures can get cooler than in many places, it could affect how comfortable you are during your move and cause more stress.
Luckily for you, our list of Texas' best movers can help you find the right experts and remove a lot of your stress.

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 also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service companies 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.
Once you know what you need, learn which Texas movers meet Michigan's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Texas are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin contacting companies. We recommend that you talk to at least two of the companies on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when talking about moving. The typical amount you might expect to spend hourly for movers in Texas is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Mulder's Moving & Storage.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Texas are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is generally more expensive, as most people move during this season. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 19,881 college students attending school within 15 miles of Texas will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Texas tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with Texas and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Texas can get up to 56°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Texas' cost of living index is 98.4. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
