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 need to decide if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. You'll also want to figure out if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not packing assistance.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. You can also read online reviews and view the company's BBB rating. Every company on our list of Abilene's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can start asking for estimates. We strongly suggest talking to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you're speaking with a moving company, make sure you explain all the services you think you'll require. Also, verify that the company provides you with a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The expected hourly fee for moving in Abilene is as follows:
The best mover in Abilene, according to Today's Homeowner, are Allied Van Lines.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Abilene are the best ones. They include:
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what services the mover offers, look at reviews of the company on other sites like Google, Reddit, Trustpilot, or the BBB.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
Some movers offer 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 loss, damage, or theft.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Abilene from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
