Bears Moving Co. is a licensed Georgia apartment moving company (GA HHG #9320) working Decatur's mid-rise elevator buildings every week — 335 W. Ponce and the downtown Decatur condos, Church Street mid-rises, Oakhurst duplexes, and Avondale Estates apartments. Honest hourly pricing with a true 2-hour minimum, same-day Certificates of Insurance, and no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator fees.
Apartment buildings in Decatur are mostly four- to six-story elevator properties — 335 W. Ponce and the downtown Decatur condos, Church Street mid-rises, Oakhurst duplexes, and Avondale Estates apartments. These are the moves where the interior corridor, not the stairs, sets the pace: long hallways, one elevator, and a loading point that isn't always near your door.
Downtown Decatur has almost no truck-friendly curb, so we use the building dock off the alley or reserve a space before 8am — farmers-market Saturdays get an early start. We measure the walk on arrival and stage a second dolly relay when the corridor run is long enough to justify it.
The downtown Decatur condo boards are strict about elevator pads and named-insured language; we handle both directly with the HOA manager. A COI is just proof that our cargo and liability coverage names your building — but a missing one is the number-one reason apartment moves get turned away at the door.
Send us your property manager's requirements when you book and we deal with the office directly, including elevator reservations and any building-specific move-in agreement.
Decatur units skew 1- and 2-bedroom with long interior corridors, so plan 2–4 hours with a 2-mover crew for most apartment moves here. Everything is billed at our standard transparent hourly rate: blankets, shrink wrap, mattress bags, dollies, floor runners, door-jamb protectors, and basic bed disassembly and reassembly are included. There is no per-stair fee, no long-carry fee, and no elevator fee.
We move apartment residents throughout Oakhurst, Winnona Park, Avondale Estates, Kirkwood, and East Lake and the rest of DeKalb County. About 15 min east of downtown Atlanta.length}-city footprint.
