Bears Moving Co. is a licensed, insured moving company (GA HHG #9320) covering all of DeKalb County — Brookhaven, Chamblee, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, and Tucker — at the same honest hourly rate we charge in Atlanta. No county surcharge, no per-stair fees, and a written estimate before you book.
DeKalb is bungalow and mid-century ranch territory — Decatur, Kirkwood, Tucker, and Stone Mountain — with porch stairs, original 30-inch doorways, and floors that get runners before anything rolls. Brookhaven and Chamblee add elevator-served condo work.
Our DeKalb County crews run I-285, I-20, Memorial Drive, and Lawrenceville Highway daily, so the drive leg is scheduled rather than guessed. We start earlier on the outer edges of the county so the loaded leg happens before traffic builds, and that planning is included in the hourly rate — there is no DeKalb County travel fee on your invoice.
Every DeKalb County move includes a truck, fuel, dollies, straps, moving blankets, shrink wrap, floor runners, door-jamb protection, and standard bed disassembly and reassembly. Pick your city below for the local access details — parking, stairs, HOA and building rules, housing stock, and realistic time ranges.
Crew size in DeKalb County is set by volume and access rather than by preference. A one-bedroom apartment usually runs two movers, a two- or three-bedroom home three movers, and a larger home with stairs at both ends three to four. Adding a mover raises the hourly rate but nearly always lowers the total, because the truck and the doorway are the bottleneck, not the number of hands.
We handle residential moves, apartment and condo moves with same-day certificates of insurance, office and commercial relocations scheduled after hours, single-item furniture pickups and deliveries, and upright and spinet piano moves throughout Brookhaven, Chamblee, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, and Tucker. Long-distance moves originating in DeKalb County are quoted in writing with a delivery window rather than a vague estimate.
Booking timelines matter more in DeKalb County than most people expect. Lease turnovers and real-estate closings cluster on the first and last three days of every month, and Saturdays between May and September are the hardest slots in the metro to fill late.
Two to four weeks of lead time gets you a full crew and your choice of start window; four days of lead time gets you whatever is left across the whole county.
