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're looking at local or national movers. Different types of moves necessitate different sets of skills, as illustrated above. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds 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 type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which local movers meet North Carolina's licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of the best movers in Burlington is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can reach out to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more 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 the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost can be a big concern when it comes to moving. The usual amount you might expect to spend hourly for movers in Burlington is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Burlington are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during summertime is often 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 9,485 college students attending school within 15 miles of Burlington will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Burlington tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in Burlington can reach 68°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
Burlington's cost of living index is 91.9. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
