Bears Moving Co. is a licensed, full-service moving company (GA HHG #9320) with crews that handle apartment moves week in and week out — same-day Certificates of Insurance, elevator and loading-dock coordination, a true 2-hour minimum, and no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator surcharges. We move studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedroom apartments at one transparent hourly rate.
An apartment move is not a small house move. The furniture is easier; the building is harder. Elevator reservations, Certificate of Insurance deadlines, loading-dock windows, garage clearance bars, gate codes, breezeway stairs, and 32-inch doorways are what decide whether your move takes three hours or six — and none of them appear on a square-footage estimate.
Bears Moving Co. quotes apartment moves around access, not just volume. When you book, we ask which floor, whether there's an elevator and whether it's shared or freight, how far the truck can get from your door, and what your property manager needs on paper. That's why our crews rarely lose an elevator window or get turned away at the front desk.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, mattress bags, dollies, floor runners, and door-jamb protectors. Basic bed disassembly and reassembly, and TV dismounting and padding. Full cargo and liability insurance, with a building-specific COI issued within 24 hours of request — usually same day.
What's not included, ever: per-stair fees, per-flight fees, long-carry fees, elevator fees, fuel surcharges, or travel surcharges anywhere in our service area.
High-rise and podium buildings run on reserved freight elevators and strict COI language, and the fastest crews are the ones who load the truck in unload order so the elevator never sits idle. Mid-rise buildings usually share one elevator with residents, so timing the reservation matters more than raw crew size.
Garden-style communities are decided by floor and by how close the truck can park to the breezeway. Walk-ups come with narrow landings and tight doorframes that need straps and door removal, not brute force. Student housing runs on assigned turnover slots we book with you.

No. There is no per-stair, per-flight, long-carry, or elevator surcharge on any Bears Moving Co. apartment move. The hourly rate covers the work, whether that's a fourth-floor walk-up or a reserved freight elevator on the 30th floor.
We coordinate the elevator reservation with your building when you book, and we plan the crew's arrival around the window the property gives us. Some buildings require the resident to reserve it personally — we'll tell you which category yours falls into.
A true 2-hour minimum with a 2-mover crew. Many studio and small 1-bedroom moves finish inside it, and we don't pad the clock or add a separate travel-time line item to reach it.
Most apartment moves can be scheduled within 24-48 hours. The last three days of the month and the first weekend of the next month are the busiest windows — book 1-2 weeks ahead for those dates.
