How we ranked the top Cary movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Cary, NC.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Cary:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 40 companies that offer moving services in the Cary area.

From these 40 companies, we analyzed a total of 15,253 reviews dating all the way back to November 2009.

We also reviewed a total of 16 state and federal moving licenses from these 40 companies and 182 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~15,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 35,972 data points to compute individual company scores.

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 0 Cary moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer(like Next Stop Movers) vs older more established companies (like Little Guys Movers Raleigh).
