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:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service movers. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you're someone who hates packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they arrive.
You can read up on the reputation of a moving company using online reviews or the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Texas. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Gainesville are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you have a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies on our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
