People in Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro and the rest of Clayton County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
A house move in Jonesboro 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.
Jonesboro is the seat of Clayton County with a historic downtown core and the Lake Spivey neighborhoods. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) covers Jonesboro at our standard hourly rate.
Jonesboro splits between three move types. The historic downtown core (around the Clayton County courthouse and the Margaret Mitchell history sites) has 1900s construction with original hardwoods and narrow doorways. The Lake Spivey-adjacent neighborhoods have larger homes with longer driveways and occasional dock cargo. The Tara Boulevard corridor has apartments and townhomes with HOA loading. I-75 plus Tara Boulevard is the main approach.
Jonesboro historic-downtown moves typically run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Lake Spivey estate moves run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Tara Boulevard apartments run 2–4 hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Clayton County surcharge.
We move regularly through the downtown core around the courthouse, the Lake Spivey neighborhoods, and the apartments along Tara Boulevard. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck (we send a 20-footer), and which Lake Spivey driveways need a shuttle in heavy rain.
We work regularly around Historic Jonesboro, Lake Spivey Area, and Tara Boulevard Corridor, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Clayton County.
About 30 min south of Atlanta via I-75 and Tara Boulevard. Because Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Clayton 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.
Yes — the homes around the courthouse and historic core are familiar territory. We send a 20-foot truck and bring extra floor runners and door-jamb pads.
Yes. We pre-scout the driveway via Google Earth at quote time and bring a shuttle if a 26-foot truck can't make it. Dock cargo and boathouse contents are included if mentioned at quote.
