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 movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in choosing a moving company is deciding whether a national or local mover is best. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service. Full-service movers provide packing and loading services, which can be great if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they get there. Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. You can also browse online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Fresno is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts. Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that many people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Fresno, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Power Movers Houston.
We use a variety of different criteria to determine which movers in Fresno are the best ones. They include:
Both cost and convenience are 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 19,929 students attending college within 15 miles of Fresno, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.You'll also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Fresno 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.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Fresno and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers 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 the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Fresno can get up to 79°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.
Fresno's cost of living index is 110.0. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
