Bears Moving Co. offers six moving services in Kennesaw, GA — residential, apartment, office and commercial, piano, furniture, and local moves. Pick the one that matches your move below; every one is run by our own licensed crews (GA HHG #9320) at one hourly rate with drive time included.
Not every move belongs in the same category, and the category changes the crew size, the truck, and the equipment we load. A whole house in Kennesaw is a different job from a single sectional or a suite of office desks.
Kennesaw is mostly two-story single-family homes, split-levels, and townhomes with garages, finished basements, and bonus rooms over the garage.
Student communities around Chastain Road fill their lots completely in August, so we book early slots and coordinate a cone-off with the leasing office.
Low-rise campuses around Downtown Kennesaw and Kennesaw Mountain 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.
Pricing in Kennesaw is deliberately boring: an hourly rate that already includes the truck, the fuel, the equipment, and the drive leg, with a written estimate before anything is loaded.
A KSU 1-to-2 bedroom student apartment typically finishes in the 2-hour minimum to about 4 hours with a 2-mover crew. A 3-bedroom Kennesaw subdivision home runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. A 4-to-5 bedroom Kennesaw Mountain area home runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Drive time is included in the hourly rate; no I-75 toll surcharge.
Student moves price the same as any other small apartment move — same hourly rate, same 2-hour minimum, no surprise youth or back-to-school surcharge.
A Kennesaw 3-bedroom runs 4–8 hours; a student 1-bedroom near campus usually finishes inside the 2-hour minimum plus drive time.
Piano work is the one exception in Kennesaw: upright and spinet pianos are quoted as a flat fee based on the instrument, the stairs and access at both ends, and the mileage between them — never by the hour.
Kennesaw flat rates start from a level garage-entry load, and the destination usually sets the rest of the price — a tall full-size upright going up a flight prices above a console going in level.
Kennesaw moves divide into three logistics rhythms: KSU student housing turnover, suburban subdivision relocations, and Town Center-corridor apartment moves. KSU student moves (around the campus, the apartments along Big Shanty and Frey Road) cluster heavily in early August and late April-early May, with a smaller wave in December. We staff specifically for those windows and recommend booking 4+ weeks ahead during them.
Suburban Kennesaw (off Stilesboro, Kennesaw Due West, around Kennesaw Mountain) is 3–5 bedroom homes on quarter-to-half-acre lots with 2-car garages and finished basements — straightforward 3-mover crews and 26-foot trucks. The Acworth corridor (Cherokee Street, Mars Hill) is mixed older homes and newer subdivisions. I-75 northbound is the universal access route and backs up 4–6:30pm.
Beyond the campus, the big named subdivisions each move differently: Legacy Park off Old 41 is a 3,000-plus-home master-planned community with narrow interior streets, mandatory HOA truck-staging rules, and a management office that expects a Certificate of Insurance before the gate goes up; Bells Ferry Road runs a long ribbon of 1980s–2000s ranches and two-stories with steep driveways that a 26-foot truck can handle but a tractor-trailer cannot;
Stilesboro Road serves the larger four- and five-bedroom homes with finished basements west of the mountain; and Lakes at Cedarcrest sits on the Paulding line with longer approach roads that we build into the schedule rather than the invoice.
The Barrett Parkway / Town Center corridor is our densest apartment zone — mid-rise complexes with reserved loading zones, elevator reservations, and retail traffic that makes a 8am or 1pm start far faster than a midday one.
Kennesaw subdivisions have level driveways and garage-side entries, so most loads happen without stairs at the origin — the destination usually decides crew size.
Most Kennesaw homes give us a driveway right up to the door, so the truck parks close and the crew works a short, protected carry path through the garage or front entry.
Kennesaw office parks are flexible on timing, so we can run a weekday move outside business hours without a building fee.
Our Kennesaw crews work in Downtown Kennesaw, Kennesaw State Area, Downtown Woodstock, and Acworth / Lake Allatoona — and the addresses in between. Each of those areas has its own access profile, from curb width to elevator rules, and we plan the truck placement before the crew leaves the yard.
We move in and out of the KSU-area apartments (along Big Shanty, Frey Road, Chastain Road), the suburban subdivisions on the slopes of Kennesaw Mountain, the older homes around historic downtown Kennesaw and the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, the Town Center apartment complexes, and the Acworth-corridor subdivisions.
Our crews know that the KSU campus parking restrictions tighten during the academic year and we stage at the apartment complex's visitor lot, that the Kennesaw Mountain area subdivisions have HOA truck-staging rules, and that downtown Kennesaw's historic Cherokee Street has 1-way segments that affect return-trip routing.
Certificate of Insurance requirements are the single most common surprise for Kennesaw customers: Legacy Park, most Barrett Parkway apartment offices, and several of the gated Cedarcrest and Stilesboro communities require a COI naming the HOA or property manager as additional insured before your crew is allowed on site.
We issue those the same day at no charge — send us the property manager's name and email when you book and it's handled before move day. Kennesaw sits inside our standard service zone, so drive time is billed as ordinary hourly time with no per-mile or fuel surcharge attached.
Kennesaw families usually move within the same school district, upsize a few miles out, or downsize once the kids are gone.

Kennesaw is mostly two-story single-family homes, split-levels, and townhomes with garages, finished basements, and bonus rooms over the garage.
Kennesaw State-adjacent communities, Chastain Road apartments, Barrett Parkway complexes, and Downtown Kennesaw buildings. By-the-bed student properties near KSU want a COI plus a scheduled move slot during turnover week — we lock both in when you book.
Kennesaw office tenants are typically 5-40 seats in one- to three-story buildings, with conference furniture and lateral files driving the piece count. Kennesaw office parks are flexible on timing, so we can run a weekday move outside business hours without a building fee.
Upright and spinet pianos only, moved for a flat fee based on the instrument, stairs, and mileage. Consoles and uprights dominate Kennesaw, with a steady student-instrument flow around Kennesaw State each semester.
Typical Kennesaw jobs are sectionals, treadmills and Pelotons, gun safes, sleeper sofas, dining sets, and a heavy piece moved between floors.
Legacy Park and Brookstone family homes, downtown bungalows, and a large student-rental market around Kennesaw State. Early August is the busiest window here because of the Kennesaw State calendar; book those dates a month out.
Bears Moving Co. offers six services in Kennesaw: residential (whole-home) moves, apartment and condo moves, office and commercial relocations, upright and spinet piano moves, single-item furniture moves, and general local moves inside our radius. We do not sell packing services or storage. Every job is run by our own licensed, background-checked employees rather than subcontracted labor.
Start with the building type. A house or townhome is a residential move; an apartment, condo or high-rise unit is an apartment move because of elevator, COI and dock scheduling; a business is an office and commercial move. A single heavy piece is a furniture move, and an upright or spinet piano is a flat-rate piano move.

No. About 35 min northwest of Atlanta on I-75. Drive time is built into the schedule rather than billed as a surcharge, so a Kennesaw address is quoted at the same hourly rate as an in-town Atlanta address.
Yes. Combining a home move with a piano or a single oversized item is common in Kennesaw. We scope the combined work up front so you get one crew, one arrival window, and one invoice — with the flat piano fee shown as its own line rather than folded into the hourly total.
