Bears Moving Co. moves single-family houses in Roswell — the bedrooms plus the garage, attic, basement, shed, and patio that come with them. A Roswell 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 Roswell houses are what this page is about. Roswell 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 Roswell 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 historic homes along Canton Street, Atlanta Street, and Mimosa Boulevard, the Bulloch Hall and Barrington Hall areas, the Martin's Landing subdivision off Holcomb Bridge, the Willow Springs golf community, and the East Roswell apartment complexes near Old Alabama and Holcomb Bridge.
Our crews know that the Roswell Square area has weekend foot traffic that closes some streets to commercial vehicles during festivals, that Canton Street's 1-way northbound configuration adds 5 minutes to any return trip to the truck, and that the Old Mill area's bridges have weight restrictions that exclude fully-loaded 26-foot trucks.
Roswell 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 Roswell areas we load houses out of most: Historic Roswell, Martin's Landing, Willow Springs, and East Roswell.
Roswell's historic district — the streets radiating from Canton and Atlanta Streets near the Roswell Square — has some of the oldest homes we move on a regular basis. We're talking 1840s antebellum, 1880s Victorian, 1920s craftsman, with original heart-pine floors, plaster walls, narrow doorways (sometimes under 30 inches), and front porches that don't accommodate a 4-wheel dolly without floor protection.
Every historic Roswell move ships with extra floor runners, longer door-jamb pads, and 4-mover crews even for 2-bedroom homes (because the careful pace adds time). Martin's Landing and Willow Springs are 1980s–2000s subdivisions with 3–5 bedroom homes on quarter-to-half-acre lots — standard suburban logistics. East Roswell (along Holcomb Bridge and Old Alabama) is a mix of newer townhouses and apartment complexes with COI requirements.
GA-400 access adds about 30 minutes off-peak.
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 Roswell house move, not a preference.
A Roswell 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 historic Roswell 2-bedroom home typically runs 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew (porch protection and door-width challenges add 1–2 hours over a comparable suburban home). A Martin's Landing or Willow Springs 3-bedroom runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. East Roswell apartment moves finish in 2–4 hours with a 2-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate.
The pricing surprise we most often resolve for Roswell customers: other movers under-quote historic homes by treating them as 'standard' jobs and then running over by hours — we quote the actual time the home will take.
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 Roswell house move as long as we count them in the walkthrough.
Nearly every Roswell 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.
