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 selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As illustrated above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You will also have to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you loathe packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that has a packing service. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to learn which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in South Carolina. All of the companies on our list of Lexington's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the movers from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you're going to need when you ask for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about when moving is the cost. In Lexington, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Lexington, according to Today's Homeowner, are Gamecock Moving.
To decide which movers in Lexington are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is generally more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 41,926 college students attending school within 15 miles of Lexington will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Lexington'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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Lexington can get up to 73°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
