Bears Moving Co. moves single pieces and furniture-only loads in Lithonia — 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 Lithonia pickup points include Costco, IKEA, and Ashley pickups, Facebook Marketplace buys, garage and basement swaps, and parent-to-kid handoffs across town. Typical Lithonia jobs are sectionals, treadmills and Pelotons, gun safes, sleeper sofas, dining sets, and a heavy piece moved between floors.
We move regularly through the Stonecrest area subdivisions, the apartments and townhomes off Stonecrest Boulevard, the Panola Road corridor, and the older Lithonia residential core. Our crews know which Stonecrest streets have narrow cul-de-sacs that exclude a 26-foot truck, and that I-20 eastbound thins out past Wesley Chapel for the last leg of the drive.
About 30 min east of Atlanta via I-20. Drive time to Lithonia is inside the hourly rate, so a single-item pickup in DeKalb County doesn't carry a trip charge. The Lithonia areas we get furniture calls from most: Stonecrest, Salem Crossing, and Panola Road corridor.
Lithonia divides between the Stonecrest area (the newer subdivisions and townhomes off Stonecrest Boulevard and the apartments around the mall) and the older Lithonia core off Panola Road. Stonecrest is straightforward suburban logistics — 2,500–4,000 sq ft homes from the 1990s and 2000s with attached garages. The Panola Road corridor has older apartments and ranch-style single-families with standard loading.
I-20 eastbound from Atlanta is the main approach; reliable except for major event weekends.
Lithonia homes usually give us a driveway and a garage entry, which makes even a heavy sectional or armoire straightforward with a two-mover crew. 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.
A one-piece or few-piece Lithonia job typically fits our 2-hour minimum with two movers and one truck. 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 DeKalb 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 Lithonia 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 Lithonia home for sale, we'll move pieces to a garage or storage unit and bring them back after closing on the same hourly rate.
