Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Acworth — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A house on land near Acworth usually runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once outbuildings are included; a smaller three-bedroom runs 4–8 hours.
One hourly rate covers the crew, the truck, fuel and drive time, blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, floor runners, door-jamb protection, and basic bed, table, and TV disassembly and reassembly. Licensed GA HHG #9320, fully insured, no per-stair fees and no long-carry charge for a driveway the truck can't reach.
Moving out of a house is a different job than moving out of an apartment, and Acworth houses are what this page is about. Houses around Acworth sit on real land: bigger floor plans, detached garages, workshops, sheds, barns, and a yard's worth of equipment that has to be loaded alongside the furniture.
We scope by bedroom count first and then by the rooms that aren't bedrooms — because those are what decide the truck size. Detached garages, workshops, sheds, riding mowers, generators, tool chests, and barn storage all get counted before we quote. On land, the outbuildings routinely hold more volume than a spare bedroom does.
Driveways around Acworth are long, sometimes gravel, and occasionally soft after rain, so we check the approach and turnaround before backing a loaded truck in. Once we're staged, access is the easy part and load sequencing is where the day is won.
Floor runners, corner guards, and door-jamb pads go down before the first item leaves the house, and furniture is wrapped in the room it's standing in rather than out on the driveway where the weather gets a vote.
If the house is in a neighborhood with an HOA gate, a narrow cul-de-sac, or a shared drive, tell us at booking and we'll plan the approach instead of improvising with a loaded truck in the street.
We move regularly through the Lake Acworth-adjacent streets off South Main, Brookstone off Brookstone Drive, Centennial Lakes, the Lake Allatoona-adjacent streets off Glade Road, and the downtown core. Our crews know which Brookstone gates require a 30-minute call-in, that I-75 northbound from Atlanta backs up at the Acworth exits during shift change, and which lake-shoreline driveways need a shuttle in heavy rain.
Around Acworth the common move is from inside the perimeter outward to more land, or house-to-house between properties a few miles apart with a stop at a storage building along the way. The Acworth areas we load houses out of most: Lake Acworth, Brookstone, Downtown Acworth, and Centennial Lakes.
Acworth's geography is shaped by two lakes. Lake Acworth-adjacent streets (off South Main and Lakeside Drive) and Lake Allatoona-adjacent neighborhoods (off Glade Road) have longer driveways and occasional dock cargo. Brookstone golf community sits inland with 3,500–5,000 sq ft homes and standard suburban driveways. Downtown Acworth's historic core has 1900s-construction homes around the railroad with narrow doorways and original hardwoods.
Centennial Lakes and the newer Cobb-side subdivisions are straightforward suburban logistics. I-75 northbound from Atlanta is reliably the bottleneck for Acworth moves — we default to 8am starts.
Washers, dryers, standalone freezers, refrigerators, grills, riding and push mowers, tool chests, workbenches, shelving units, and patio sets all move with us. Appliances are disconnected only when the lines are simple shutoffs — gas and hardwired connections need a licensed tech, and we'll tell you that before move day rather than after.
Fuel comes out of mowers, blowers, and generators before they load; propane tanks travel separately or not at all. That's a safety rule on every Acworth house move, not a preference.
A house on land near Acworth usually runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once outbuildings are included; a smaller three-bedroom runs 4–8 hours. A three-bedroom house with a full garage usually needs a bigger truck than the bedroom count suggests, which is why we ask about the garage, the attic, and the shed on the phone.
Two trips with a small truck costs more than one trip with the right one.
Loading order matters on a house: heaviest and squarest first, mattresses and long items on the walls, boxes filling the voids, and the fragile pieces loaded last so they come off first at the new address.
Everything bills at one transparent hourly rate covering the crew, the truck, fuel and drive time, all pads and wrap, dollies and straps, floor and doorway protection, and basic disassembly and reassembly. There is no per-stair fee, no long-carry fee, no fuel surcharge, and no equipment rental line.
Acworth lake-adjacent estate moves typically run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Brookstone 4-bedroom moves run 8–10+ hours. Downtown historic-district moves run 4–8 hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No travel or Lake-area surcharge.
You get a real arrival window the day before with your crew lead's name. We walk the whole house with you — including the garage, attic hatch, basement, and shed — flag the fragile and high-value pieces, set protection, and start loading. Time starts when the truck arrives and stops when the last item is placed.
At the new house we walk it again before anything comes off the truck so furniture lands in the right rooms the first time. Beds and tables are reassembled, boxes go to the rooms they're labeled for, and the wrap and blankets leave with us.

Yes — that's the difference between a house move and an apartment move. Shelving, tool benches, lawn equipment, deep freezers, holiday storage, bikes, and patio furniture are all part of a Acworth house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Driveways around Acworth are long, sometimes gravel, and occasionally soft after rain, so we check the approach and turnaround before backing a loaded truck in. Once we're staged, access is the easy part and load sequencing is where the day is won. If the truck can't reach the door, there's still no long-carry fee — we shuttle with dollies and the hourly rate covers it.
Yes. Washers, dryers, refrigerators, and freezers move with us; simple shutoff disconnects are fine, but gas lines and hardwired connections need a licensed technician before we arrive.
A two-bedroom typically runs 3–6 hours, a three-bedroom 4–8 hours, and four bedrooms or more 8–10+ hours. How finished your packing is, stairs, and how much lives in the garage are the real variables.
Homeowners pack and label their own boxes and we move everything. We don't sell packing services or storage. Furniture wrapping, padding, basic disassembly, and reassembly are always included.
