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 need to decide if you need a national or a local mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as shown above. You'll also want to figure out if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind packing yourself, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
Some of the ways you can 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 Cary's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin talking to movers. It is best to speak with at least two of the movers from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you will need for your move. Also, verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
