Hiring house movers in Marietta comes down to specifics: the license number, the written hourly rate, and whether the estimate reflects the actual loading conditions at your address. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Marietta and the rest of Cobb County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
A house move in Marietta 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.
From Marietta Square historic homes to East Cobb subdivisions, our licensed Georgia crew (GA HHG #9320) handles Marietta moves with the same honest hourly pricing you'd get downtown.
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.
A 3-bedroom East Cobb home typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. A 4-to-5 bedroom West Cobb home with a basement runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Marietta Square historic homes follow the same hours-to-bedroom math as Decatur — add 1–2 hours for porch protection and tighter walks. Drive time is included in the hourly rate, with no county travel surcharge.
The most common pricing gap we close for Marietta customers: other movers add a flat 'travel fee' for being north of I-285 — we don't.
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.
We work regularly around East Cobb, Kennesaw Mountain, Marietta Square, and West Cobb, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Cobb County.
About 30 min northwest of Atlanta on I-75. Because Marietta 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 Marietta jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Cobb 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.
One zone — both are part of our Cobb County service area at the standard hourly rate. The crews and equipment differ (East Cobb skews 3-bedroom colonials, West Cobb skews 4–5 bedroom larger homes), but pricing doesn't.
Yes — the Square's historic homes are some of our favorite jobs. We bring extra floor runners, shorter ramps for porch steps, and we'll right-size the truck (often a 20-footer) to fit narrow streets like Kennesaw Avenue and Polk.
