From historic homes near Roswell Square to modern subdivisions in East Roswell, Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) brings the careful padding, floor protection, and honest hourly pricing that older homes deserve.
Roswell is in Fulton County. About 30 min north of Atlanta via GA-400. Drive time is inside our standard hourly rate — there is no Fulton County travel surcharge and no per-mile fuel fee.
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.
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.
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.

Floor runners and door-jamb protectors standard on every move.
Experienced with historic Roswell homes and narrow porches.
Same-day availability for most local Roswell moves.
Most Roswell jobs book 1–3 weeks out, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Fulton County fill first. We confirm crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing when you book, and we call the morning of the move with the crew's ETA. If a building or HOA in Roswell needs a certificate of insurance, we issue it within 24 hours of getting the property manager's requirements.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps, dollies, floor runners, and door-jamb protection come on the truck at no charge, along with bed disassembly and reassembly and TV dismount. Drive time to and from Roswell is billed inside the hourly rate rather than added as a trip charge, and there are no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator fees.
Historic Roswell (Canton Street, Roswell Mill); Martin's Landing (Martin's Landing Lake, Holcomb Bridge Road); Crabapple (Crabapple Market, Milton High School). Our crews scope parking, dock access, and elevator reservations for each address before move day rather than improvising on arrival.
We handle both directions at the same hourly rate — Roswell to intown Atlanta, Roswell to the northern or southern suburbs, and long-distance origins within Georgia. Because we are a licensed Georgia household-goods carrier (GA HHG #9320, USDOT #3657392) and fully insured, we can also handle the paperwork buildings and property managers ask for.
Yes — historic Roswell homes are some of our most careful jobs. Floor runners on every traffic path, door-jamb protectors at every doorway, and 4-wheel dollies with no-scuff casters indoors. We default to 4-mover crews even for 2-bedrooms so the careful pace doesn't add hours.
Sometimes — many 1880s–1920s Roswell homes have doorways under 30 inches. We carry queen and king mattress bags and we'll stand a mattress on its side or angle it through a doorway when needed. Larger furniture (sectionals, armoires) we sometimes disassemble or unload from a window if access requires it.
Yes. Same standard hourly rate, same 2-hour minimum. Drive time is included in the hourly rate.
For most apartments, townhouses, and 1-to-2 bedroom homes, yes (especially mid-week). Historic district homes need an in-home or virtual walk-through before booking so we can plan floor protection and crew size — that adds 24–48 hours to the timeline.
