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 deciding on a company is determining if a national or local mover is going to be better for you. As outlined above, different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. You also will have to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. You can also read online reviews and take a look at the company's rating on the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Longview's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can reach out to them and ask about a free estimate. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you explain to them all of the services you may need, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Longview is:
The best mover in Longview, according to Today's Homeowner, are Red Carpet Moving.
To decide which movers in Longview are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 7,783 students attending college within 15 miles of Longview, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
Also consider the weather conditions in the area. Longview 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.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Longview area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Longview can get up to 77°F, and the area is in the top third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Longview's cost of living index is 89.3. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
