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 need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes. Some of the ways by which you might learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of North Carolina's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of the best movers in Raleigh is well-reviewed and picked by our experts. Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can start contacting them. We suggest reaching out to at least a couple of the movers from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Raleigh is as follows:
The best mover in Raleigh, according to Today's Homeowner, are Miracle Movers Selma.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Raleigh are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Some movers provide specialty services for items like pianos, antiques, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper experience and resources to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, theft, or loss.
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks in advance. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
