Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Buckhead — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A larger Buckhead house runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once the terrace level, garage, and patio are counted; a 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.
Houses hold more than people expect, and a Buckhead move day goes long when the crew shows up sized for the bedrooms alone. Houses in Buckhead run large: four and five bedrooms, formal dining rooms, finished terrace levels, a three-car garage, and enough square footage that the load count surprises people who have only moved out of an apartment before.
We scope by bedroom count first and then by the rooms that aren't bedrooms — because those are what decide the truck size. Terrace-level gyms, wine fridges, safes, pool tables, patio sets, and garage storage systems are routine on these jobs, and each one changes the crew and the truck. We flag them at quote time instead of discovering them at 9 a.m.
Most Buckhead houses have room for the truck, but the carry is long — gated entries, circular drives, stone steps, and hardwood or marble that gets floor runners and corner guards before a single item moves.
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 routinely move in and out of the Peachtree corridor high-rises (Sovereign, Mansion on Peachtree, The St. Regis Residences at Mansion, Realm, Park Place on Peachtree, Paramount at Buckhead), the West Paces Ferry estates, the older homes around Argonne and Habersham, the townhomes off Pharr Road, the Brookwood mid-rises, and the Lenox Park condos.
Our dispatch knows which buildings allow weekend move-ins (most don't), which require Saturday morning slots (Mansion on Peachtree, Realm), and which have height restrictions on the loading dock that exclude a 26-foot truck (Sovereign — we use a 20-footer or shuttle). For the estate streets off Tuxedo and Blackland, we know which gates require a code call-in 30 minutes ahead.
Buckhead homeowners usually move house-to-house within the same few zip codes, downsize to a smaller home after the kids leave, or relocate out of state with a job. The Buckhead areas we load houses out of most: Peachtree Hills, Garden Hills, Lenox Park, Tuxedo Park, and Brookwood.
Buckhead is the most building-management-driven city we serve. Almost every high-rise (Sovereign, Mansion on Peachtree, The St. Regis Residences, Realm, Park Place on Peachtree, Paramount at Buckhead, Brookwood, Astoria) requires a Certificate of Insurance naming the building and the management company as additional insured, a reserved freight-elevator window (typically 8am–12pm or 1pm–5pm), and an elevator pad install/removal as part of the move.
We handle all three as part of the booking — you don't need to coordinate with the concierge yourself. On the estate side (Tuxedo Park, West Paces Ferry, Habersham Road, Argonne, Blackland Road), the logistics flip: long driveways, gated entries, custom front doors that don't open a full 90 degrees, and white-glove items (pianos, large art, marble-top consoles) that require crating or specialty pads.
We send a 4-mover crew with a 26-foot truck and crating supplies on every Buckhead estate move by default.
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 Buckhead house move, not a preference.
A larger Buckhead house runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew once the terrace level, garage, and patio are counted; a 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.
Buckhead high-rise moves typically run 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew for a 2-bedroom unit, 4–8 hours for a 3-bedroom, and almost always include a 30-minute setup/teardown for elevator pads. Estate moves run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate.
Specialty items (upright pianos, oversized safes, large mirrors) are quoted up-front before booking — never tacked on at the end. The single most common pricing surprise we resolve for Buckhead clients is a building-imposed elevator overage fee from movers who didn't show up on time; we build a 30-minute buffer into every Buckhead high-rise booking so the elevator window doesn't slip.
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 Buckhead house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Most Buckhead houses have room for the truck, but the carry is long — gated entries, circular drives, stone steps, and hardwood or marble that gets floor runners and corner guards before a single item moves. 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.
