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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is right for your needs. You will also have to decide if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you hate packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and a driver but not help with packing. Once you know what you need, learn which movers meet North Carolina's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Gastonia's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts. Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the movers on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate.
