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. You'll also need to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service moving company. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you will likely want to use a full-service company that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help with packing.
You can read up on 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 Palestine's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you have your options narrowed down to just a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. We recommend reaching out to at least a couple of the movers on our list above. Be sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Cost is a common concern when it comes to moving. The typical amount one might expect to spend hourly for movers in Palestine is:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Thompson Discount Movers, LLC.
To decide which movers in Palestine are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
Some moving companies provide specialty services for items like antiques, pianos, and other valuables. During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of loss, damage, or theft.
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Palestine from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as possible, ideally four to six weeks before your moving day.
The average annual high in Palestine can get up to 78°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country when it comes to daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
Palestine's cost of living index is 85.8. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
