Our Jonesboro bookings for residential movers run year-round, so the crew arrives already knowing the traffic windows, the truck sizes that fit these streets, and the buildings that need paperwork ahead of time. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Jonesboro and the rest of Clayton County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
Most home moves in Jonesboro 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.
Jonesboro is the seat of Clayton County with a historic downtown core and the Lake Spivey neighborhoods. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) covers Jonesboro at our standard hourly rate.
Jonesboro splits between three move types. The historic downtown core (around the Clayton County courthouse and the Margaret Mitchell history sites) has 1900s construction with original hardwoods and narrow doorways. The Lake Spivey-adjacent neighborhoods have larger homes with longer driveways and occasional dock cargo. The Tara Boulevard corridor has apartments and townhomes with HOA loading. I-75 plus Tara Boulevard is the main approach.
Jonesboro historic-downtown moves typically run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Lake Spivey estate moves run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Tara Boulevard apartments run 2–4 hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Clayton County surcharge.
We move regularly through the downtown core around the courthouse, the Lake Spivey neighborhoods, and the apartments along Tara Boulevard. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck (we send a 20-footer), and which Lake Spivey driveways need a shuttle in heavy rain.
We work regularly around Historic Jonesboro, Lake Spivey Area, and Tara Boulevard Corridor, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Clayton County.
About 30 min south of Atlanta via I-75 and Tara Boulevard. Because Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Clayton 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 courthouse and historic core are familiar territory. We send a 20-foot truck and bring extra floor runners and door-jamb pads.
Yes. We pre-scout the driveway via Google Earth at quote time and bring a shuttle if a 26-foot truck can't make it. Dock cargo and boathouse contents are included if mentioned at quote.
