People in Chamblee searching for house movers near them usually want the same three things: a licensed company, a price that doesn't change on move day, and a crew that has done this street before. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Chamblee and the rest of DeKalb County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
A house move in Chamblee is measured by the whole property, not the floor plan — driveway access, the garage and shed, attic and basement storage, and the yard equipment that never appears on a room-count estimate.
Chamblee mixes 1950s ranches in Huntley Hills with new mixed-use development around the MARTA station and Peachtree Industrial. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) handles both with crews that know the parking and curb-cut realities of older Chamblee streets.
Chamblee's housing stock is older than most suburbs in the area — Huntley Hills, Sexton Woods, and Keswick Park are dominated by 1,400–2,200 sq ft ranches from the 1950s with original hardwoods, narrow doorways (some sub-30 inch), and detached garages or carports rather than attached garages. Crews bring door-jamb pads on every Chamblee booking and we measure oversized furniture against doorway widths at quote time.
The Peachtree Road corridor and the new builds around the Chamblee MARTA station (Parkside at Chamblee, Whitehall Lofts) operate more like in-town apartments with elevator reservations and COI requirements. We split crew assignments by neighborhood so the right experience shows up.
Chamblee ranch moves typically run 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew for a 2-bedroom, 4–8 hours for a 3-bedroom. New-build townhomes and lofts around the MARTA station run 3–6 hours for a 2-bed with a freight elevator. Drive time is included in the hourly rate.
The common pricing trap in Chamblee is a 'low advertised rate' that excludes wardrobe boxes or mattress bags — ours always includes blankets, wrap, and basic boxes for fragile items.
We move regularly through Huntley Hills off Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Sexton Woods, the streets around Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, the lofts and townhomes around the Chamblee MARTA station, and the new Parkside development.
Our crews know which Huntley Hills streets have narrow turn radiuses that exclude a 26-foot truck (we send a 20-footer), that the Peachtree Industrial corridor backs up at shift change for the surrounding warehouses, and which Chamblee Heights duplexes have shared driveways that need owner coordination before move day.
We work regularly around Huntley Hills, Sexton Woods, and Keswick Park, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of DeKalb County.
About 20 min north of Atlanta via I-85 or Peachtree Road. Because Chamblee sits inside our standard service zone, drive time is billed inside the hourly rate instead of appearing as a trip charge or fuel surcharge. When you request a quote we confirm the crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing, and we call the morning of the job with the crew's ETA.
Most Chamblee jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across DeKalb County. If a building, HOA, or storage facility needs a certificate of insurance naming them as additional insured, we issue it within one business day of receiving their requirements.

Yes, and we scope them up front. Tool benches, mowers, ladders, holiday bins, deep freezers, and yard equipment are part of the load — leaving them out of the estimate is how a house move runs long.
Three-bedroom houses commonly run 6-8 hours and four-bedroom-plus homes 8-10 or more, before stairs, long driveways, and garage or basement contents are added. We give you the realistic range for your specific house before you book.
Usually. We size the truck to the bedroom count plus garage, basement, and shed load. If your house genuinely needs a second trip or a two-day plan, we tell you during the estimate rather than mid-move.
We check grade, length, curb clearance, and overhead branches ahead of time and stage at the nearest safe spot. Longer carries add time, so we build that into the estimate instead of surprising you with it.
We measure oversized pieces (sectionals, king mattresses, armoires) against your doorway widths at quote time. For sub-30-inch doorways common in Huntley Hills and Sexton Woods, we plan disassembly or window/balcony entry before move day — never as a surprise.
Yes — Parkside at Chamblee, Whitehall Lofts, and the townhomes along Peachtree Boulevard are regular jobs. We coordinate freight elevator reservations and COIs with the property managers directly.
