Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Flowery Branch — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A house on land near Flowery Branch 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.
A house move in Flowery Branch is measured by rooms plus everything attached to them — the garage, the attic, the basement, the yard. Houses around Flowery Branch 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 Flowery Branch 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 Sterling on the Lake off Spout Springs, Cresswind in the same area, the lake-shoreline streets off Lights Ferry and Atlanta Highway, and the Old Town historic core.
Our crews know which Sterling on the Lake amenity-area roads back up during the summer pool season, that I-985 northbound thins out past Buford so the last 15 minutes of drive is reliably quick, and which Old Town streets exclude a 26-foot truck.
Around Flowery Branch 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 Flowery Branch areas we load houses out of most: Sterling on the Lake, Cresswind, Old Town Flowery Branch, and Lake Lanier shore.
Flowery Branch moves cluster around three types. Sterling on the Lake (the master-planned community off Spout Springs) features 3,000–4,500 sq ft homes with attached garages and standard suburban driveways — easy logistics.
Cresswind is an active-adult community with smaller single-level homes (1,800–2,800 sq ft) and a higher-than-average rate of downsize moves where customers are paring down for the first time in 30+ years; our crews carry extra wardrobe boxes and packing supplies for these. Lake Lanier shoreline streets off Lights Ferry and Atlanta Highway have longer driveways and dock cargo.
Old Town Flowery Branch's historic core has narrow streets that limit truck size.
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 Flowery Branch house move, not a preference.
A house on land near Flowery Branch 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.
Flowery Branch Sterling on the Lake moves typically run 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. Cresswind downsizes run 2–4 hours. Lake shoreline estates run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Hall County or distance 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 Flowery Branch house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Driveways around Flowery Branch 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.
