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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in selecting a moving company is deciding whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service mover. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you will be expected to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service moving company will offer packing services, which can be a boon if you dread packing boxes. Once you know what you need, learn which Carrollton movers meet Texas' licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Carrollton's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team. Once you've narrowed down your list, you can begin contacting companies. We recommend that you talk to at least one or two of the movers on our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, make sure that the estimate they provide is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Carrollton, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Carrollton are the best ones. They include:
Many movers offer special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can protect you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with Carrollton and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as early in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Carrollton can get up to 77°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
