Bears Moving Co. moves single pieces and furniture-only loads in Marietta — 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 Marietta pickup points include IKEA and Costco pickups, Marietta Square antique shops, Marketplace buys across East and West Cobb, and garage-to-bonus-room swaps. Marietta jobs are usually sectionals, gun safes, treadmills, pool tables to disassemble, dining sets, and one heavy piece being moved from the basement to the main floor.
We move in and out of the Marietta Square historic district, the East Cobb subdivisions off Lower Roswell and Johnson Ferry (Indian Hills, Princeton Lakes, Sweat Mountain), the Walton and Pope High School cluster neighborhoods, and the larger West Cobb subdivisions off Dallas Highway and Stilesboro.
Our crews know which Marietta Square streets are one-way during the farmers market on Saturdays, which East Cobb HOAs require weekday-only moves, and where on Powder Springs Road the bridges have low clearance for a 26-foot truck. We've done apartment moves in the complexes off Cobb Parkway and around Town Center Mall, and office moves in the Powers Ferry Landing and Cumberland-adjacent commercial parks.
About 30 min northwest of Atlanta on I-75. Drive time to Marietta is inside the hourly rate, so a single-item pickup in Cobb County doesn't carry a trip charge. The Marietta areas we get furniture calls from most: Marietta Square, Kennesaw Mountain, East Cobb, and West Cobb.
Marietta is really three different cities for movers: the Marietta Square historic core, East Cobb's large family subdivisions, and West Cobb's newer, larger-lot suburban developments. Each has its own logistics. Around the Square, the homes are 1880s–1920s wood-frame Victorians and craftsmans on tight lots with original heart-pine floors and shallow porches — we treat those moves with the same care as Decatur or Inman Park.
East Cobb (around Roswell Road, Lower Roswell, Johnson Ferry, and Sandy Plains) is dominated by 1980s–2000s brick-front colonials in HOA subdivisions with two-car garages, basement levels, and frequently a bonus room over the garage that adds 30+ moving boxes. West Cobb (Powder Springs Road, Dallas Highway, Stilesboro) skews newer and larger: 4–5 bedroom homes on half-acre lots, often with detached workshops or sheds.
We send 3–4 mover crews with a 26-foot truck for East and West Cobb full-house moves by default.
Most Marietta homes give us a driveway and a garage door, so the carry is short. The friction is inside: split-level turns, basement stairs, and bonus rooms over the garage with a 90-degree landing.
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 two- or three-piece Marietta job typically fits inside the 2-hour minimum; safes and pool tables are quoted separately by weight and disassembly. 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 Cobb 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 Marietta 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 Marietta home for sale, we'll move pieces to a garage or storage unit and bring them back after closing on the same hourly rate.
