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:
Different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in picking a moving company is deciding whether a local or national mover will work best for your needs. You will also have to determine if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be best for you. 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 help with packing.
Some good ways to learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of North Carolina's licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of the best movers in Asheville is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to select from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We highly recommend speaking with at least two of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The usual hourly cost for moving in Asheville is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Asheville.
To decide which movers in Asheville are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, 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.
Also consider 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 most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
