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:
The first step in choosing a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You will also have to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you are someone who hates packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind packing yourself, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help with packing.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in North Carolina. Every company on our list of the best movers in Elon is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to choose from, you can contact them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to check that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about when they're thinking about moving is the cost. In Elon, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Elon are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience 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 10,779 students attending college within 15 miles of Elon, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Elon tends to have hot temperatures. Therefore weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving to a different home in Elon, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Elon from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Elon can reach 68°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
Elon's cost of living index is 93.7. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
