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:
Different types of movers are suited for different sorts of moves. The first step in selecting a moving company is deciding whether a local or national company is best suited to your needs. You'll also want to determine if you require a full-service or self-service moving company. If you hate packing boxes, a full-service company that offers packing services may be best for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might be happy with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not help pack your things.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. You can also look for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Roanoke's best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our team of experts.
After narrowing down your list, you can start contacting companies. It is best to discuss your move with at least two of the companies from our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you may need for your move. Also, ensure that the estimate you receive is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Roanoke, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Roanoke, according to Today's Homeowner, are Square Cow Movers DFW.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Roanoke are the best ones. They include:
Consider both cost and convenience when planning your move. The majority of people move from May to August, which could be busier and more expensive for you.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Roanoke tends to have hot temperatures. As a result, 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:
To ensure you get your desired pickup and delivery times, you should book moving services as early in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
High temperatures in Roanoke can reach 77°F. The area has about average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
Roanoke's cost of living index is 121.7. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
