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're better off with a national or local mover. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers. You will also need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service companies also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which moving companies meet Texas' mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include searching for reviews online and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Addison is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you're going to need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've gotten 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 Addison, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Addison are the best ones. They include:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 58,560 students attending college within 15 miles of Addison, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Addison 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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
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.
Addison's cost of living index is 126.2. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The purchase price of a home in Addison will depend on various factors, such as the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Addison is $467077.
If you choose to rent in Addison, the cost for an apartment is roughly $1,660 per month.
