Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Austell — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A Austell three-bedroom house typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew; four bedrooms and up run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once the garage and basement are in the count.
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 Austell houses are what this page is about. Austell is subdivision territory — two-story traditionals, split-levels, and ranches with an attached garage, a floored attic over it, a bonus room, and a basement that has been quietly filling up since the family moved in.
We scope by bedroom count first and then by the rooms that aren't bedrooms — because those are what decide the truck size. The garage, the floored attic, the basement, the shed, and the patio are where a three-bedroom quietly becomes a four-bedroom load — lawn equipment, deep freezers, storage shelving, bikes, holiday bins, and the treadmill nobody remembers owning.
Nearly every Austell house gives us a driveway right at the garage, so the truck parks close and the carry is short. The friction is inside: split-level landings, a stair turn at the basement door, and a bonus-room staircase that a king box spring does not want to take.
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 Austell residential core and the subdivisions along Anderson Mill Road and Maxham Road. Our crews know that I-20 westbound backs up around Six Flags on major event weekends, and we shift Austell starts accordingly.
Austell families typically move inside the same school district, jump one subdivision over for more square footage, or head further out where the lots get bigger. The Austell areas we load houses out of most: Austell core, Six Flags area, and Anderson Mill Road corridor.
Austell is straightforward suburban logistics. Most homes built between 1970 and 2010 — single-story and split-level 2,500–3,500 sq ft homes with attached garages. The wrinkle is Six Flags traffic on major event weekends; we check the park calendar at scheduling and adjust start times. I-20 westbound is the main approach and reliable.
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 Austell house move, not a preference.
A Austell three-bedroom house typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew; four bedrooms and up run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once the garage and basement are in the count. 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.
Austell 3- or 4-bedroom suburban moves typically run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No travel 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 Austell house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Nearly every Austell house gives us a driveway right at the garage, so the truck parks close and the carry is short. The friction is inside: split-level landings, a stair turn at the basement door, and a bonus-room staircase that a king box spring does not want to take.
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.
