Bears Moving Co. moves single pieces and furniture-only loads in Cumming — store and Marketplace pickups, deliveries the retailer won't carry upstairs, moving one heavy item between floors, and rearranging a room. Two movers, a padded truck, and a true 2-hour minimum with fuel, pads, straps, dollies, floor protection, and basic disassembly and reassembly included. Licensed GA HHG #9320 and fully insured.
This is not a whole-home move — it's the job most movers won't take.
Sectionals and sleeper sofas, king and queen mattress sets, armoires and china hutches, dining tables with stone or glass tops, dressers and wardrobes, desks and filing cabinets, treadmills and Pelotons, recliners and lift chairs, patio sets, upright and spinet pianos, gun safes, disassembled pool tables, large mirrors and artwork, and appliances that aren't hard-plumbed.
Common Cumming pickup points include warehouse-club and outlet pickups, Marketplace and estate-sale finds, barn, shed, and bonus-room moves, and family handoffs between households. Around Cumming we get a lot of pickups an hour out, bonus-room and basement furniture, riding-mower-sized items, and full room sets moved between houses.
We move regularly through Vickery off Post Road, Polo Fields off Echols Road, Windermere off McGinnis Ferry, the Lake Lanier-adjacent estates along Browns Bridge and Marina Bay, and the new subdivisions springing up off Bethelview and Pilgrim Mill. Our crews know which Vickery streets have HOA loading restrictions, that GA-400 southbound from Cumming backs up after 6:15am during weekday commute, and which Lake Lanier driveways flood with heavy rain.
About 45 min north of Atlanta via GA-400. Drive time to Cumming is inside the hourly rate, so a single-item pickup in Forsyth County doesn't carry a trip charge. The Cumming areas we get furniture calls from most: Vickery, Polo Fields, Windermere, and Lake Lanier border.
Cumming splits between two distinct move profiles. The master-planned communities (Vickery, Polo Fields, Windermere, Castleberry Hills) are dominated by 3,500–5,000 sq ft new builds from 2005–2020 with attached three-car garages, finished basements, and standard suburban driveways — straightforward logistics with the wrinkle of HOA-imposed move windows on some streets.
The Lake Lanier-adjacent estates (the Browns Bridge corridor, Marina Bay, the streets off Lanier Beach South) have long lake-access driveways, sometimes with boat-storage outbuildings and dock-related cargo. We pre-scout driveways via Google Earth and bring shuttle setups when needed. Forsyth County's rapid growth means new subdivisions appear constantly; we use day-of GPS routing, not memorized routes.
Cumming properties tend to have long driveways and wide doors, so the work is mostly drive time plus a clean carry into the room you actually want it in. Before anything moves we measure the piece against the narrowest point on the route — doorway, stair turn, elevator diagonal — and decide whether to remove legs, take a door off its hinges, or hoist over a rail.
Floor runners, corner guards, and pads go down first, and doorframes get protected on every carry.
Every piece is shrink-wrapped or blanket-wrapped before it leaves the room it's in, not after it's on the truck. That's the difference between a furniture mover and a truck with two people in it.
Around Cumming, the drive to the pickup point usually decides whether a small job stays inside the 2-hour minimum. Everything bills at our transparent hourly rate with a true 2-hour minimum — no trip charge, no fuel surcharge, no per-stair or per-flight fee, no charge for pads, straps, dollies, or floor protection.
Basic disassembly and reassembly (bed frames, table legs, sectional feet, treadmill folding) is part of the rate, not an add-on.
Two things change the number: distance to a pickup point outside Forsyth County, and whether the item needs specialty handling — a safe over about 600 lbs, an upright piano, or a stone slab. Tell us the piece and the stairs when you call and we'll give you the honest hour range before you book.
Plenty of Cumming jobs never leave the house: a sectional moving from the basement to the main floor, a bedroom set relocating so hardwoods can be refinished, a home office swapping rooms, or heavy furniture staged for carpet install or a home sale. Two movers for two hours handles most of it, and we put everything back exactly where you point.
If you're staging a Cumming home for sale, we'll move pieces to a garage or storage unit and bring them back after closing on the same hourly rate.
