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:
First, you'll want to determine if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You'll also want to decide if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not packing assistance. Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in North Carolina. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Asheville are well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team. Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. It is best to reach out to at least a couple of the movers 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 you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the price tag. In Asheville, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Asheville.
To find out which movers in Asheville are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 10,752 students attending college within 15 miles of Asheville, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Asheville tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Asheville can get up to 62°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
