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:
First, you'll need to decide if you need a national or a local mover. Different kinds of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also check to see which movers near you meet all of Texas' licensing requirements for movers.
