Our Roswell bookings for house movers run year-round, so the crew arrives already knowing the traffic windows, the truck sizes that fit these streets, and the buildings that need paperwork ahead of time. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Roswell and the rest of Fulton County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
A house move in Roswell 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 historic homes near Roswell Square to modern subdivisions in East Roswell, Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) brings the careful padding, floor protection, and honest hourly pricing that older homes deserve.
Roswell's historic district — the streets radiating from Canton and Atlanta Streets near the Roswell Square — has some of the oldest homes we move on a regular basis. We're talking 1840s antebellum, 1880s Victorian, 1920s craftsman, with original heart-pine floors, plaster walls, narrow doorways (sometimes under 30 inches), and front porches that don't accommodate a 4-wheel dolly without floor protection.
Every historic Roswell move ships with extra floor runners, longer door-jamb pads, and 4-mover crews even for 2-bedroom homes (because the careful pace adds time). Martin's Landing and Willow Springs are 1980s–2000s subdivisions with 3–5 bedroom homes on quarter-to-half-acre lots — standard suburban logistics. East Roswell (along Holcomb Bridge and Old Alabama) is a mix of newer townhouses and apartment complexes with COI requirements.
GA-400 access adds about 30 minutes off-peak.
A historic Roswell 2-bedroom home typically runs 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew (porch protection and door-width challenges add 1–2 hours over a comparable suburban home). A Martin's Landing or Willow Springs 3-bedroom runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. East Roswell apartment moves finish in 2–4 hours with a 2-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate.
The pricing surprise we most often resolve for Roswell customers: other movers under-quote historic homes by treating them as 'standard' jobs and then running over by hours — we quote the actual time the home will take.
We move in and out of the historic homes along Canton Street, Atlanta Street, and Mimosa Boulevard, the Bulloch Hall and Barrington Hall areas, the Martin's Landing subdivision off Holcomb Bridge, the Willow Springs golf community, and the East Roswell apartment complexes near Old Alabama and Holcomb Bridge.
Our crews know that the Roswell Square area has weekend foot traffic that closes some streets to commercial vehicles during festivals, that Canton Street's 1-way northbound configuration adds 5 minutes to any return trip to the truck, and that the Old Mill area's bridges have weight restrictions that exclude fully-loaded 26-foot trucks.
We work regularly around Historic Roswell, Martin's Landing, and Crabapple, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Fulton County.
About 30 min north of Atlanta via GA-400. Because Roswell 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 Roswell jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Fulton 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 — historic Roswell homes are some of our most careful jobs. Floor runners on every traffic path, door-jamb protectors at every doorway, and 4-wheel dollies with no-scuff casters indoors. We default to 4-mover crews even for 2-bedrooms so the careful pace doesn't add hours.
Sometimes — many 1880s–1920s Roswell homes have doorways under 30 inches. We carry queen and king mattress bags and we'll stand a mattress on its side or angle it through a doorway when needed. Larger furniture (sectionals, armoires) we sometimes disassemble or unload from a window if access requires it.
