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 want to figure out if you're looking at local or national movers. Different kinds of moves will need different sets of skills, as illustrated above. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be great if you dread packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet North Carolina's licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of New Bern's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start calling companies. We recommend that you reach out to at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, make sure that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The typical amount one can expect to spend hourly for movers in New Bern is:
The best mover in New Bern, according to Today's Homeowner, are ENC Moving and Hauling.
To find out which movers in New Bern are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is generally more expensive, as this is when most people move. Traffic may also be heavier during these months. There are about 2,857 college students attending school within 15 miles of New Bern, so you may wish to avoid moving in May and August, when they will be moving.
You'll also want to think about the weather. Temperatures in New Bern 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.
Many moving companies provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from each company on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in New Bern can get up to 71°F, and the area is in the top third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
