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 need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Some good ways to learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You might also want to learn about which movers near you meet all of Nevada's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Reno are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can begin asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure that you explain all of the services you'll need. You should also verify that you are given a "binding estimate," as otherwise it may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when thinking about moving. The usual amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Reno is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Move 4 Less - Reno Movers.
To decide which movers in Reno are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, as this is when most people move. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 9,300 college students attending school within 15 miles of Reno will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Reno's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move may be more difficult during the cooler months, when roads may be icy.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many movers provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The average annual high in Reno can get up to 58°F, and the area is in the bottom third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
