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 choosing a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of company that is best for you will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
You can check the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You should also find out which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Fresno are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin the process of asking for estimates. It is best to talk to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, be sure you explain all of the services you'll need. Also, verify that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when thinking about moving. The typical amount you can expect to spend hourly for movers in Fresno is:
The best mover in Fresno, according to Today's Homeowner, are Westheimer Transfer & Storage Co. Inc. - Allied Van Lines.
To decide which movers in Fresno are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. Most people move from Memorial to Labor Day, 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.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Fresno tends to have hot temperatures. Therefore 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 offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The most optimal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
The average annual high in Fresno can get up to 79°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for 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.)
