Bears Moving Co. offers six moving services in McDonough, 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 McDonough is a different job from a single sectional or a suite of office desks.
McDonough homes run larger — four and five bedrooms on bigger lots, with basements, workshops, sheds, and garage storage that adds real volume to a household move.
Square-adjacent buildings load from the rear service lane; everything on Jonesboro Road is surface parking.
Downtown McDonough suites often sit above street-level retail with a single stair and no dock, so we reserve the curb, protect the stairwell, and break large case goods down at the suite.
Pricing in McDonough 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.
McDonough historic-downtown moves typically run 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. Eagle's Brooke and Avalon 4-bedroom moves run 8–10+ hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Henry County surcharge.
A McDonough 3-bedroom home usually runs 4–8 hours with a three-mover crew.
Piano work is the one exception in McDonough: 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. McDonough flat rates depend on which end has the raised porch — Square-area homes price above level Heron Bay garage entries.
McDonough's historic downtown square has 1900s construction with original hardwoods and narrow doorways — we send a 20-foot truck for downtown bookings. Eagle's Brooke and Avalon are master-planned communities with 3,000–4,500 sq ft homes from the 2000s with attached garages and standard driveways. I-75 southbound is the main approach; we default to 8am starts to avoid shift-change backups.
Most McDonough homes give us a level driveway and a garage or front-door entry, so the interior stair between the entry and the bedrooms — not the parking — sets the crew size around Historic McDonough Square and Eagle's Brooke.
McDonough properties usually have long driveways and wide doors, so the truck gets close and the real planning goes into load sequencing and drive time rather than access.
Downtown McDonough moves start early or run after retail closes so the sidewalk and curb stay clear.
Our McDonough crews work in Historic McDonough Square, Eagle's Brooke, and Avalon — 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 regularly through the historic downtown square area, Eagle's Brooke off Highway 81, Avalon, and the newer subdivisions along Highway 20 and Highway 155. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck, and that I-75 southbound backs up at the McDonough exits during shift change.
Around McDonough we see a lot of moves from inside the perimeter outward, plus household-to-household moves between family properties.

McDonough homes run larger — four and five bedrooms on bigger lots, with basements, workshops, sheds, and garage storage that adds real volume to a household move.
Historic McDonough Square apartments, Jonesboro Road communities, Eagle's Brooke-area residences, and Highway 20 complexes. McDonough properties accept a standard COI at booking.
McDonough commercial tenants are mostly small professional offices, studios, and clinics — under 20 seats, but with awkward stairs and antique-heavy reception areas. Downtown McDonough moves start early or run after retail closes so the sidewalk and curb stay clear.
Upright and spinet pianos only, moved for a flat fee based on the instrument, stairs, and mileage. Consoles and uprights dominate, with taller studio uprights showing up in Heron Bay.
Around McDonough we get a lot of pickups an hour out, bonus-room and basement furniture, riding-mower-sized items, and full room sets moved between houses.
Three- and four-bedroom family homes are the norm across McDonough, with townhomes filling in around Historic McDonough Square. McDonough dates fill fastest in June and July around the school calendar.
Bears Moving Co. offers six services in McDonough: 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.

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