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 picking a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they arrive. Full-service movers provide packing services, which can be a way to ease your stress if you hate packing boxes.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Tennessee. All of the companies on our list of Johnson City's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start contacting movers. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the movers from our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, ensure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The expected hourly fee for moving in Johnson City is as follows:
The best mover in Johnson City, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Tri-Cities.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Johnson City are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer is often more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 17,030 college students attending school within 15 miles of Johnson City will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Temperatures in Johnson City tend to be warm. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
Many movers have 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 necessary supplies on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Johnson City from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
The average annual high in Johnson City can get up to 63°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield a low to moderate amount of snowfall.
The amount you would pay for a home in Johnson City will vary based on various factors, including the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Johnson City is $254632.
