A few plain rules: reputable local movers don't ask for a big cash deposit upfront, you pay on delivery instead. Standard liability coverage is only 60 cents per pound per item, so look into full-value protection if you own anything pricey. Expect extra charges for long carries, multiple flights of stairs, or heavy pieces like a piano or safe. Measure your doorways and hallways ahead of time so the crew isn't burning billed hours maneuvering furniture.
Check that any company you're considering carries an active DOT number, then look over the local movers below.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Ascension Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 32% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
