Residential Movers in Dunwoody
Bears Moving Co. handles whole-home residential moves in Dunwoody — studios through five-bedroom houses, packed, padded, loaded, driven, and set back up in the right rooms. Every move includes the crew, the truck, fuel and drive time, blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, floor runners, door-jamb protection, and basic bed, table, and TV disassembly and reassembly.
A Dunwoody two-bedroom condo typically runs 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew once the elevator window is locked in. Licensed GA HHG #9320 and fully insured, with no per-stair fees and no surprise add-ons at the end.
Dunwoody homes skew toward condo towers, mid-rise buildings, and executive townhomes, which means the move runs on a reserved elevator and a dock window rather than a driveway. We scope the job by room count, not by guesswork: bedrooms, the kitchen, the garage, the basement, the attic, the shed, and the patio all get counted before we quote a crew size and a truck.
Dunwoody households typically move tower-to-tower, condo-to-house, or into a rental while a purchase closes. We move households within DeKalb County, across Metro Atlanta, and out of state, and the same crew that loads your home unloads it.
We move regularly in and out of the Dunwoody Village core off Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, the Georgetown ranches between I-285 and Peeler Road, Mount Vernon Woods and the Mount Vernon Estates streets, the Winters Chapel Road corridor along the Peachtree Corners border, the Branches neighborhood off Tilly Mill, and the high-rises and corporate housing around Perimeter Mall, State Farm, and Ashford-Dunwoody.
Our crews know which Perimeter buildings (Three Ravinia, the Terraces, Concourse) require dock-height adjustments for 26-foot trucks, that GA-400 access from Mount Vernon Road backs up after 7am, that Winters Chapel Road narrows at the Gwinnett line so a 26-footer sometimes swaps for a 20, and which Dunwoody Village townhomes have shared HOA driveways that restrict truck staging.
About 25 min north of Atlanta via GA-400. Drive time to Dunwoody is inside the hourly rate, so there is no trip charge for reaching your street. The Dunwoody areas we run household moves in most: Dunwoody Village, Perimeter Center, Georgetown, Mount Vernon Woods, Winters Chapel, and Tilly Mill.
Movers in Dunwoody deal with two very different worlds. The Perimeter Center cluster (Three Ravinia, Terraces, Hammond Hills high-rises, the apartments along Ashford-Dunwoody) operates on strict freight-elevator windows and almost always requires a Certificate of Insurance naming the property manager.
The named residential neighborhoods — Dunwoody Village off Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Georgetown between I-285 and Chamblee-Dunwoody, Mount Vernon Woods off Mount Vernon Road, Winters Chapel along the Peachtree Corners border, plus Tilly Mill and Branches — are dominated by 3,000–4,500 sq ft split-levels and ranches built between 1970 and 1995, with finished basements, two-car garages, and long driveways that fit a 26-foot truck without issue.
The wrinkle: many Dunwoody homes have basement-level workshops or third-bay garage storage that doubles the inventory most customers estimate. We scope basement and attic contents at quote time so the crew size matches reality.
In Dunwoody we reserve the freight elevator, file the building's Certificate of Insurance, and confirm the loading dock height before move day so the crew isn't waiting in the lobby. Floor runners, corner guards, and door-jamb pads go down before the first box leaves the house, and every piece of furniture is wrapped in the room it's standing in rather than out on the driveway.
If your building or HOA requires a Certificate of Insurance, we issue it within 24 hours of booking, and we handle elevator reservations, gate codes, and dock windows as part of the job instead of leaving them to you.
Most Dunwoody families pack their own boxes and we move everything. If you'd rather not, we offer full or partial packing — kitchens, fragile dish-pack, closets, or the whole house — using professional cartons, paper, and dish barrels. Wardrobe boxes come on the truck so hanging clothes stay on their hangers.
Bed frames, table legs, sectional feet, desks, and standard TV dismounts are taken apart and put back together as part of the move, not as an add-on. Beds are reassembled and made accessible on the first night, and boxes go to the rooms they're labeled for so unpacking isn't a scavenger hunt.
A Dunwoody two-bedroom condo typically runs 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew once the elevator window is locked in. Everything bills at one transparent hourly rate that covers the crew, the truck, fuel and drive time, all pads and wrap, dollies and straps, floor and doorway protection, and basic disassembly and reassembly.
There is no per-stair fee, no per-flight fee, no elevator fee, no fuel surcharge, and no equipment rental line.
Most Dunwoody residential moves run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew for a 4-bedroom split-level in Georgetown, Mount Vernon Woods, or Winters Chapel, 8–10+ hours for a 4-bed with a finished basement, and 8–10+ hours for 5-bedroom homes. Perimeter high-rise studios and 1-beds typically finish in our 2-hour minimum to 4 hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate — no per-mile fuel surcharge.
The most common pricing trap with other Dunwoody movers is a 'flat rate' quote based on bedroom count that doesn't account for the basement workshop or garage attic; we always ask.
You get a real arrival window the day before with your crew lead's name. On arrival we walk the home with you, flag anything fragile or high-value, set protection, and start loading heaviest-first so the truck rides tight. Time starts when the truck arrives and stops when the last item is placed.
At the destination we walk the home again, place furniture where you want it — not where it lands — reassemble beds and tables, and take the wrap and blankets with us. Payment is by card, ACH, or check at the end, with no deposit forfeitures.

Frequently asked questions
How much do residential movers cost in Dunwoody?
A Dunwoody two-bedroom condo typically runs 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew once the elevator window is locked in. It bills at one transparent hourly rate covering the crew, truck, fuel, drive time, pads, wrap, dollies, floor protection, and basic disassembly and reassembly.

How long does a house move take in Dunwoody?
A studio or one-bedroom typically runs 2–4 hours with a 2-mover crew, a two-bedroom 3–6 hours, a three-bedroom 4–8 hours, and four bedrooms or more 8–10+ hours. Stairs, long carries, and packing status are what move the number.
Do you pack for Dunwoody moves, or do I pack myself?
Both options are available. Most Dunwoody customers pack their own boxes and we move everything; full and partial packing is available with professional cartons, paper, and dish barrels. Bed disassembly, reassembly, and standard TV dismount are always included.
Do you charge extra for stairs or a long carry in Dunwoody?
No. In Dunwoody we reserve the freight elevator, file the building's Certificate of Insurance, and confirm the loading dock height before move day so the crew isn't waiting in the lobby. There is no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator charge — the hourly rate covers the work regardless of the access.
How far in advance should I book a Dunwoody residential move?
Two to four weeks is comfortable, and month-end and summer weekends fill first. We also take same-week and last-minute Dunwoody household moves when a crew is open — call and we'll tell you honestly what's available.
Are you licensed and insured for household moves in Dunwoody?
Yes — Bears Moving Co. is a Georgia-licensed household goods carrier, GA HHG #9320, BBB A+ accredited, with full cargo and liability insurance on every Dunwoody move. Building Certificates of Insurance are issued within 24 hours of booking.
Can you move a Dunwoody home out of state?
Yes. Long-distance household moves out of Dunwoody are quoted on the load and the mileage, with the same crew loading and unloading rather than a broker handoff.
