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 deciding on a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service moving companies provide trucks and drivers, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get there. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be very helpful if you loathe packing boxes.
You can learn about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in North Carolina. All of the companies on our list of Hillsborough's best movers are well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to select from, you can talk to them and ask about a free estimate. It is best to speak with two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you're looking for, and to ensure that your estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

Traffic may also be heavier during these months. There are about 6,164 college students attending school within 15 miles of Hillsborough, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Hillsborough's temperatures 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.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
