Moving companies: who can show the work
For moving companies, the best proof is a record of jobs: permits filed with the county and customers reviewing the business over the years. Pick a city.
Proof to ask for before you hire
Look up their permits
Search the company name on the county or city permit portal. Recent permits that closed with a passed inspection are the clearest proof of real work.
Read reviews by date, not by average
Look at the last three months on two sites. A steady flow over years says more than a high score.
Match the license to the contract
The license holder on the state lookup should be the company on your contract.
Ask for two recent job addresses
Match them to permits, or ask to speak to those customers. Photos alone don't show whose work it was.
