Bears Moving Co. is a licensed Georgia local moving company (GA HHG #9320) handling home, apartment, and office moves throughout Alpharetta — Avalon, Downtown Alpharetta, Windward, and Old Milton corridor. Local moves are billed at one transparent hourly rate with a true 2-hour minimum: crew, 26-foot truck, fuel, drive time, blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, and floor protection all included.
No fuel surcharge, no per-stair fee, no travel fee inside our service zone.
Most Alpharetta local moves happen in subdivision homes — Avalon, Downtown Alpharetta, Windward, and Old Milton corridor. The driveway is rarely the hard part; the interior stair, the bonus room over the garage, and the basement are. Alpharetta homes mostly offer wide double doors and level garage entry, which makes them among the fastest loads in the metro when the driveway pitch cooperates; Avalon units need a dock reservation.
Large 4- and 5-bedroom homes in Windward and the club neighborhoods, and luxury apartments at Avalon.
A two- to four-mover crew sized to your home, a fully equipped 26-foot box truck, fuel and drive time between your two Alpharetta addresses, furniture pads and shrink wrap, mattress bags, floor runners and door-jamb protection, four-wheel dollies and shoulder straps, basic bed disassembly and reassembly, and basic TV dismount. Full cargo and liability insurance under GA HHG #9320 on every job.
What is never on the invoice: fuel surcharges, per-mile charges, equipment fees, per-stair or per-flight fees, long-carry fees, elevator fees, or travel surcharges inside our standard service zone. The number we quote on the phone is the structure you get on move day.
A 4-bedroom Alpharetta home runs 8–10+ hours with four movers; an Avalon 2-bedroom finishes in 4-5. Everything runs on our transparent hourly rate with a true 2-hour minimum — not a four-hour minimum dressed up as two. Alpharetta homes mostly offer wide double doors and level garage entry, which makes them among the fastest loads in the metro when the driveway pitch cooperates; Avalon units need a dock reservation.
The variables that actually move your total here are stair count, carry distance from the truck to the door, how much of the packing is finished when we arrive, and whether large items need disassembly.
If you want a firm number instead of a range, we can quote flat after a short phone walkthrough or a video survey. Either way, you'll know before you book — we don't bid low on the phone and rewrite the number at the truck.
Corporate relocations drive a lot of Alpharetta volume, so midweek dates are easier to get than weekends. Most Alpharetta moves under four bedrooms can be booked 4–8 hours out from October through April. From May through September — and on any end-of-month or weekend date — plan on two to four weeks of lead time.
Crews arrive with the truck loaded for your job specifically: the right box count, the right dollies, and enough pads for the piece count you told us about.
We handle local moves throughout Avalon, Downtown Alpharetta, Windward, and Crabapple and the rest of Fulton County, with no travel surcharge inside our standard service zone. Moving out of Alpharetta but staying in Georgia? Intrastate moves stay on the same hourly structure.
