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 right for your needs. Movers can also be split into full-service and self-service. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of Texas' licensing requirements for movers. Every company on our list of Melissa's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to two or more of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you need when you get an estimate. Also, confirm that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly fee for moving in Melissa is as follows:
The best mover in Melissa, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving McKinney.
To figure out which movers in Melissa are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months is often more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 24,532 college students attending school within 15 miles of Melissa will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Melissa tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers know the Melissa area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
