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 selecting 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'll also want to determine if you want to hire a full-service or self-service mover. 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 packing yourself, you might instead go with a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not packing assistance. Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Texas. You can also search for reviews online and view the company's BBB rating. All of the companies on our list of San Antonio's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our expert team. Once you've put together a small list of companies to select from, you can talk to them and inquire about getting a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to go through all of the services you may need, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
