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 you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of moves need the expertise of different movers.

You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Texas' licensing requirements for movers.
