The #1 Mover in Every State: The Best Moving Companies in America, According to 396,246 Reviews

Need to pivot your couch around some extra-tight corners?

You’re going to want a moving company that calculates angles like champs, but that’s also strong, gentle, and trustworthy while digging through your drawers.

That can all feel like a tall order as moving season approaches. To make it easier, we looked at 1,125 moving companies with 90% or higher positive reviews to find the best of the best — in every state.

In 17 states, relocating locals can pick a company with a perfect record. And with the highest review count, Ready-to-Go Movers in California worked hard to earn and maintain its 100%.

Big Takeaways

• There’s no regional monopoly on perfection. From Ready-to-Go Movers in California to Einstein Moving Company in Florida, Zenith Moving in New York, and Secured Moving Company LLC in Texas, top-rated movers can be found in every corner of America.
• Local movers dominate perfect scores: 17 of the state favorites were rated 100%, and 12 of those were local moving companies.
• Going far? National movers that lead in total review volume and still score 95%+ satisfaction are College Hunks Hauling and Junk Moving, You Move Me, and Two Men and a Truck.

The Moving Companies Scoring 100% Customer Satisfaction

Ready-To-Go Movers in California takes the top prize, with 539 perfect reviews, ~126% more than New York’s 239 glowing reviews for Zenith Moving. 

It makes sense that states with large populations would command more overall reviews, but keeping them top-notch is actually the tougher challenge. States with more reviews are actually less likely to be perfect, since there’s a greater chance that a dissatisfied customer with a dropped box of childhood mementos walks among them.

These are the 17 companies rated 100%, sorted from those with the most reviews to those with the fewest.

Ready-To-Go Movers (California)

Founded on the experience of its founder’s move to California, Ready-To-Go Movers has its own customer experience closer than it appears in the rearview mirror. That’s helped this regional favorite move customers around Southern California from Thousand Oaks to Santa Barbara and San Bernardino.

Zenith Moving (New York):

Who knows Manhattan parking, elevator rules, and stairway switchbacks best? An NYC mover, of course. Zenith is a multi-city, regional mover that can take you from the Upper West Side to Tribeca, the West Village, and SoHo, without breaking a sweat, or its 100% positive rating.

Einstein Moving Company (Florida)

From Texas to Tampa, Einstein’s unique regional footprint has made it a rare 2-market operator. It’s not Florida-grown, but it’s proven its know-how is winning over customers.

Murphy Moving & Storage, Inc. (Connecticut)

With over a century in Connecticut, we can’t help but wonder how early movers managed. Apparently, quite well, because Murphy, a regional company, continues to flourish, earning a perfect score for ensuring that Newtonians get to South Windsor, and New Milford’s ex-residents make it to New York.

The Other Side Movers (Utah)

This mission-driven regional moving company pairs top-tier customer satisfaction with a unique rehabilitation model. The Other Side employs ex-prisoners and those recovering from substance abuse to use their muscle to help relocate the Beehive State.

Perrysburg Moving & Hauling LLC (Ohio)

This local mover banks on reliable, community-based service in a smaller Ohio market, Perrysburg. Toledo’s hometown mover has been around for a little over a decade, but they’ve already owned the moving landscape.

Kinetic Movers LLC (Pennsylvania)

Kinetic is a (local) Philadelphia-based brother-and-sister moving team that delivers 100% customer satisfaction in one of the most competitive urban moving markets in the country with end-to-end service, from setup to cleanup.

Pro Low Moving (Michigan)

It’s all about dependable, local service with this metro mover, known for its spotless customer satisfaction record. Heading to Holland? Grand Rapids? Grand Haven? That triangle hasn’t been happier since Pro Low came to town.

Secured Moving Company LLC (Texas)

This single-metro mover, serving the local Dallas/Fort Worth area, has maintained perfect reviews at a meaningful scale. Heck, one mover quoted on the Secured Moving website said they wished they had taken more photos of this company’s perfect moving skills.

Tropical Moves Moving & Storage (North Carolina)

Wilmington-based Tropical Moves is a local North Carolina mover that earns flawless reviews through consistent service in a fast-growing market all across the state.

Goal Line Moving (Minnesota)

Strong local roots are the foundation of this Twin Cities mover and its perfect customer satisfaction score. They’ll move customers from Maple Grove to Ham Lake or Andover. And Goal Line‘s customers say they’ll even do it in a downpour.

Action Moving (Missouri)

Sure, Action Moving has 100% moving satisfaction. What this unique Missouri mover also has is local knowledge as a Joplin and 4 states specialist, and openly foregrounds its prowess in handling pianos and antiques.

Workhorse Moving and Storage (South Carolina)

It’s not just moving. You’ll also find Workhorse brings in top customer service wows for junk hauling around its Spartanburg/Upstate footprint. Messy (and local) transitions are Workhorse’s specialty and they’re getting top marks for it.

Continental Moving (Massachusetts)

Bostonians expect a lot. This move-with-a-mission local company delivers. Continental partners with Boston Children’s Hospital to battle pediatric MS while it does.

High Quality Moving (Oklahoma)

Oklahoma City cousins come together for perfect reviews in this metro mover. Pool table? Junk removal? High Quality brings local knowledge and high standards.

AP Pro Moving LLC (Virginia)

This Northern Virginia mover achieves 100% customer satisfaction in a highly competitive suburban market outside Washington, D.C. They call it “effortless moves” but we suspect it’s anything but for the local AP Pro workers committed to making the process flawless.

Lifestyles Moving (Iowa)

Personalized, local service is at the root of this Fort Dodge-based footprint. In fact, you’ll find Facebook shout-outs for the owner, leaning hard into the truism that individual relationships and one-on-one service beat generic service every time.

Customers Across the Nation Love Their Local Brands the Most

In a world that seems to run on Dunkin, where Americans grab burgers at McDonald’s and pick up their daily Amazon packages, it’s surprising that local companies are dominating customer satisfaction.

Yet, there’s no clear advantage in the moving industry, where movers who scale operations or gain brand dominance don’t actually win customer satisfaction. Instead, customers appear happier with services only their neighbors can provide, such as hands-on management, local know-how, and immediate accountability.

The National Brands That Consistently Perform Best

Multi-state movers can maintain quality at scale. They’d need to centralize high standards but safeguard excellence at the local level, even when demand soars. That’s an exceptionally rare plate-juggling act.

But there are some stand-out performers. All have more than 10K reviews and a 95% (or higher) positive rating. These companies are winning the national race for best mover:

Poised to join them is Gentle Giant, which gets big love in multiple states but has only amassed 2K reviews to date. It’s already secured the top spot in three states: Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Washington. 

Conclusion

Multi-market presence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When it comes to moving companies, simply existing at scale hasn’t impressed their clients. In fact, these companies more often than not earn a collective “meh” from customers.

Furthermore, reviews of regional and national moving companies spread customer grumbles, eroding the trust and reputation companies want.

In the end, trust is built locally. In almost every state in America, customers’ hearts belong to the moving companies next door.

Methodology

With moveBuddha’s access to large-scale review data across thousands of America’s moving companies, we couldn’t help but wonder which companies were tops in the minds of moving Americans.

We analyzed 1,125 companies, all of which had 100+ total reviews and positive rankings of 90% or higher. Read more about our ranking process here.

That meant poring over 396,246 total reviews.

Our analysis covered the 48 contiguous U.S. states, with state favorites ranging from 94.7% positive (Wyoming) to 100% (17 total states). When there was a tie for #1 in any given state, the top spot was awarded to the company with a higher sum of reviews.

FAQs

What are the best moving companies in 2026?

“The best” depends on the move you’re planning, plus budget, timeline, and add-ons like packing or storage. A cross-country household move has different stakes than a local apartment move or a partial-load shipment.

Start with a realistic price range. For instance, you can start by determining your budget and then using a calculator (such as moveBuddha’s Moving Cost Calculator) to get estimates without handing over personal info.

Match the service offerings to your priorities. Full-service movers can handle packing, loading, transport, and even specialty items, while containers and truck rentals trade cost savings for more DIY effort. If storage is part of the plan, factor it in early, since storage timeframes, access, and climate control can change the total price fast.

For local moves, go local: as this analysis demonstrates, often the best choice is a highly rated mover with deep knowledge of your area. If the move is long-distance or interstate, go broader: prioritize movers with proven coverage, transparent estimates, and the systems to deliver consistency over hundreds of miles.

How do I choose the best moving company for me?

We dive deeper into the topic in a dedicated article, but here’s what to keep in mind at a high level:

1. Set a budget
2. Ask for referrals
3. Compile a list of professional movers
4. Vet them
5. Consider the services you will need
6. Schedule estimates
7. Compare estimates
8. Get references
9. Say “No” to deposits

Can a local moving company do a long-distance move?

In short, yes, but it’s important to check with your local mover first.

Many local movers have the capabilities to handle long-distance moves, but some may not have the logistics to do so.
