Bears Moving Co. runs residential, apartment, office, piano, furniture, and local moving services throughout DeKalb County — Brookhaven, Chamblee, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, and Tucker — at one honest hourly rate with no county surcharge. Piano moves are the only flat-rate service.
DeKalb County covers very different move types depending on which city you are in — Brookhaven, Chamblee, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, and Tucker. Start with the service that matches your building, then open the city page below for the parking, stair, and building-rule details specific to your address.
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.
Brookhaven homes skew toward condo towers, mid-rise buildings, and executive townhomes, which means the move runs on a reserved elevator and a dock window rather than a driveway.
Every DeKalb County service except piano work is billed at one hourly rate that already includes the crew, the truck, fuel, dollies, blankets, shrink wrap, floor runners, and standard bed disassembly and reassembly. There is no county surcharge and no per-mile fee.
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.
Upright and spinet piano moves are the exception: they are quoted as a flat fee based on the instrument, the stairs and access at both ends, and the mileage, so a piano never runs on the clock alongside the rest of your DeKalb County move.
A Brookhaven 1-bedroom apartment runs 2–4 hours; an Ashford Park 3-bedroom is usually 6-7.
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.
Dresden and Peachtree buildings share loading zones with retail deliveries, so we take the earliest dock slot rather than fighting lunch traffic.
Low-rise campuses around Ashford Park and Brookhaven Heights usually let us back a truck to a glass-door entry, so the day is ramp-and-cart work with door protection rather than elevator queuing.
We run moves in Brookhaven, Chamblee, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, and Tucker every week. Each city below has its own moving-services page with local service notes, and its own movers page with neighborhood-level access detail.
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.
Call (770) 999-5561 Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm, or request a written quote online. Tell us the city, the service, and the date, and we will size the crew and confirm an arrival window for your DeKalb County address.

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.
