People in Covington searching for residential movers near them usually want the same three things: a licensed company, a price that doesn't change on move day, and a crew that has done this street before. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Covington and the rest of Newton County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
Most home moves in Covington come down to two things: how many rooms you're moving and how far the crew has to carry each piece. Both are things we ask about before quoting.
Covington is the seat of Newton County with a film-famous downtown square and surrounding historic neighborhoods. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) covers Covington at our standard hourly rate.
Covington's downtown square (the streets around the courthouse) features 1900s-construction homes with original hardwoods, narrow doorways, and street-only loading. We send a 20-foot truck for downtown bookings and bring door-jamb pads. The Almon area and the subdivisions along Highway 278 are 2,500–4,000 sq ft suburban-to-rural homes with attached garages and reliable driveways. I-20 eastbound from Atlanta is the main approach and reliably thins out past Conyers.
Covington downtown historic moves typically run 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew. Suburban 4-bedroom moves run 8–10+ hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Newton County or distance surcharge.
We move regularly through the downtown square area around the Newton County courthouse, the Almon subdivisions, and the homes along Highway 278. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck (most do — we send a 20-footer), and that I-20 eastbound thins out past Conyers for the last leg of the drive.
We work regularly around Downtown Covington, Almon, and Highway 278 Corridor, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Newton County.
About 45 min east of Atlanta via I-20. Because Covington sits inside our standard service zone, drive time is billed inside the hourly rate instead of appearing as a trip charge or fuel surcharge. When you request a quote we confirm the crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing, and we call the morning of the job with the crew's ETA.
Most Covington jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Newton County. If a building, HOA, or storage facility needs a certificate of insurance naming them as additional insured, we issue it within one business day of receiving their requirements.

Yes. Standard bed frames come apart and go back together at the new address, and TVs come off the wall padded and ready to remount. It's part of the hourly rate, not an add-on.
Nearly always. Homes up to four bedroms are routinely single-day moves with the right crew size; larger homes with a full basement or heavy specialty items may benefit from a two-day plan, which we'd flag during the estimate.
Every move gets floor runners, door-jamb protectors, and blankets on furniture at no extra cost. It's standard equipment on the truck.
Yes — the homes around the square and courthouse are familiar territory. We send a 20-foot truck and bring extra floor runners and door-jamb pads for the original hardwoods and narrow doorways.
No. Covington is inside our standard service zone and drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Newton County or per-mile fuel surcharge.
