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 decide if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as outlined above. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you're someone who hates packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Once you know what you need, learn which Weatherford movers meet Oklahoma's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a mover's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Weatherford's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, you can start asking for estimates. We recommend speaking to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When talking to a potential provider, be sure that you explain all of the services that you're going to need. You should also verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly fee for moving in Weatherford is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Mustang.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Weatherford are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. Weatherford also has about 4,051 students attending college within 15 miles; in May and August, you may need to worry about navigating around moving students.
You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Weatherford tends to have hot temperatures. This means that weather may not affect what time of year you move as much as it would in some other places. Still, you may not want to move in mid-summer, when extreme heat or humidity could rob you of energy.
Many movers provide special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the necessary equipment on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
High temperatures in Weatherford can reach 72°F. The area has below-average daily rainfall and moderate snowfall in the winter months.
