Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Lawrenceville — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A Lawrenceville 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.
Houses hold more than people expect, and a Lawrenceville move day goes long when the crew shows up sized for the bedrooms alone. Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville 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 in and out of the Sugarloaf Country Club gated community, the Hamilton Mill golf-course homes, the Collins Hill subdivisions feeding into Collins Hill High School, the historic homes around the Lawrenceville Square and Pike Street, and the newer townhouse communities off Sugarloaf Parkway and Old Peachtree Road.
Our crews know that Sugarloaf Country Club requires gate-code call-in 30 minutes before arrival, that the historic-square streets in downtown Lawrenceville are 1-way and tight, and that Highway 316 from I-85 backs up at the Sugarloaf interchange most weekday afternoons — we route around it when needed.
Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville areas we load houses out of most: Downtown Lawrenceville, Sugarloaf, Collins Hill, and Riverside.
Lawrenceville is suburban-subdivision country, and almost every move follows the same logistics rhythm: HOA-mandated truck-staging, 2-car garages with finished basements, 3-to-5 bedroom homes on quarter-acre lots, and bonus rooms above the garage that always have 20–40 more boxes than the homeowner expected.
The downtown Lawrenceville core (around the historic square, Pike Street, Crogan) breaks the pattern — those are 1900s craftsman bungalows and converted commercial buildings with original wood floors and tighter access. Sugarloaf-area subdivisions (Sugarloaf Country Club, Hamilton Mill, Collins Hill) tend toward larger homes with formal dining rooms and primary suites that take a 4-mover crew most of a day.
We pre-screen every Lawrenceville booking against I-85 northbound conditions and Highway 316 closures so arrival windows stay predictable.
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 Lawrenceville house move, not a preference.
A Lawrenceville 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.
A 3-bedroom Lawrenceville subdivision home typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. A 4-to-5 bedroom Sugarloaf or Hamilton Mill home runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew, and may need two trucks for single-day completion. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No toll surcharge and no per-mile add-on.
The pricing surprise we most often correct for Lawrenceville customers: other movers charge a flat 'long-distance' travel fee for Gwinnett ZIPs starting in 300xx and 305xx — we don't.
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 Lawrenceville house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Nearly every Lawrenceville 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.
