If you are comparing moving services in Marietta, GA, there are six to choose from with Bears Moving Co.: whole-home residential, apartment and condo, office and commercial, upright and spinet piano, single-item furniture, and general local moves. All six are quoted in writing before you book.
The fastest way to get an accurate Marietta quote is to start in the right service. Crew size, truck size, and the protective equipment we bring all follow from what type of move it is, not just how many rooms are involved.
Marietta is split-levels, two-story traditionals, and townhomes near the Square, most with garages, finished basements, and a bonus room over the garage that nobody remembers to pack until move week.
Garden-style communities off Delk and Powers Ferry are gated with speed humps and narrow breezeway turns — we get the gate code at booking and park at the breezeway, not the office.
Most Marietta offices sit in two- and three-story buildings with surface parking, so we park at the entry, prop and protect the doors, and cart straight to the truck ramp — no elevator reservation required.
There is one hourly rate for Marietta moves, and it does not change with the day of the week, the time of the month, or which side of I-285 you are on.
A 3-bedroom East Cobb home typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. A 4-to-5 bedroom West Cobb home with a basement runs 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Marietta Square historic homes follow the same hours-to-bedroom math as Decatur — add 1–2 hours for porch protection and tighter walks. Drive time is included in the hourly rate, with no county travel surcharge.
The most common pricing gap we close for Marietta customers: other movers add a flat 'travel fee' for being north of I-285 — we don't.
A Marietta 3-bedroom typically runs 4–8 hours; historic homes with front stairs and floor protection add an hour.
Piano work is the one exception in Marietta: 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. Marietta flat rates split between East Cobb's level subdivision routes and the Square's historic homes, where a tall antique upright and a full front stair run price higher.
Marietta is really three different cities for movers: the Marietta Square historic core, East Cobb's large family subdivisions, and West Cobb's newer, larger-lot suburban developments. Each has its own logistics. Around the Square, the homes are 1880s–1920s wood-frame Victorians and craftsmans on tight lots with original heart-pine floors and shallow porches — we treat those moves with the same care as Decatur or Inman Park.
East Cobb (around Roswell Road, Lower Roswell, Johnson Ferry, and Sandy Plains) is dominated by 1980s–2000s brick-front colonials in HOA subdivisions with two-car garages, basement levels, and frequently a bonus room over the garage that adds 30+ moving boxes. West Cobb (Powder Springs Road, Dallas Highway, Stilesboro) skews newer and larger: 4–5 bedroom homes on half-acre lots, often with detached workshops or sheds.
We send 3–4 mover crews with a 26-foot truck for East and West Cobb full-house moves by default.
The Square limits truck staging and the historic homes around it have tall front stair runs and original heart-pine floors, so we stage on a side street and run floor protection end to end.
Almost every Marietta home gives us a driveway and a garage entry, so the truck parks close. The friction is inside the house: split-level landings, basement stair turns, and 90-degree bonus-room corners that decide whether a sectional goes down in one piece.
Marietta office parks rarely restrict hours, so weekday-evening moves are easy to schedule; Square addresses are best moved before the lunch traffic starts.
Our Marietta crews work in East Cobb, Kennesaw Mountain, Marietta Square, and West Cobb — 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 Marietta Square historic district, the East Cobb subdivisions off Lower Roswell and Johnson Ferry (Indian Hills, Princeton Lakes, Sweat Mountain), the Walton and Pope High School cluster neighborhoods, and the larger West Cobb subdivisions off Dallas Highway and Stilesboro.
Our crews know which Marietta Square streets are one-way during the farmers market on Saturdays, which East Cobb HOAs require weekday-only moves, and where on Powder Springs Road the bridges have low clearance for a 26-foot truck. We've done apartment moves in the complexes off Cobb Parkway and around Town Center Mall, and office moves in the Powers Ferry Landing and Cumberland-adjacent commercial parks.
Marietta households usually move within East and West Cobb to stay in the same school zone, upsize toward Kennesaw and Acworth, or downsize into a Square-adjacent townhome.

Marietta is split-levels, two-story traditionals, and townhomes near the Square, most with garages, finished basements, and a bonus room over the garage that nobody remembers to pack until move week.
Marietta Square lofts, Roswell Street apartments, Powers Ferry corridor communities, and Delk Road garden apartments. Leasing offices around Marietta typically want the COI emailed before keys are released; the Square lofts are the only ones that ask for elevator reservations.
Marietta commercial tenants are typically 8-30 seat professional offices and clinics, with the Square adding second-floor suites reached by a single stair. Marietta office parks rarely restrict hours, so weekday-evening moves are easy to schedule; Square addresses are best moved before the lunch traffic starts.
Upright and spinet pianos only, moved for a flat fee based on the instrument, stairs, and mileage. Marietta runs the full range of uprights: antique uprights in the Square-area homes, consoles and studio uprights in East Cobb, and church uprights off Roswell Street.
Marietta jobs are usually sectionals, gun safes, treadmills, pool tables to disassemble, dining sets, and one heavy piece being moved from the basement to the main floor.
Historic homes near the Square, 1980s-2000s East Cobb subdivisions, and townhomes along the Roswell Street corridor. East Cobb schedules fill fastest in late May through July; Square-area moves are easiest midweek.

Start with the building type.

Yes. Combining a home move with a piano or a single oversized item is common in Marietta. 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.
