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 moves are best handled by different movers. The first step in hiring a moving company is deciding whether a national or local company is best. You also will need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of companies provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in North Carolina. You can also browse online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Gastonia is well-reviewed and selected by our team of 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.
