Residential Movers in Marietta
Bears Moving Co. handles whole-home residential moves in Marietta — 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 Marietta three-bedroom typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew; add the basement and garage and a four-bedroom runs 8–10+ hours. Licensed GA HHG #9320 and fully insured, with no per-stair fees and no surprise add-ons at the end.
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. 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.
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. We move households within Cobb County, across Metro Atlanta, and out of state, and the same crew that loads your home unloads it.
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.
About 30 min northwest of Atlanta on I-75. Drive time to Marietta is inside the hourly rate, so there is no trip charge for reaching your street. The Marietta areas we run household moves in most: Marietta Square, Kennesaw Mountain, East Cobb, and West Cobb.
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.
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.
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 Marietta 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 Marietta three-bedroom typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew; add the basement and garage and a four-bedroom runs 8–10+ hours. 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.
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.
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 Marietta?
A Marietta three-bedroom typically runs 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew; add the basement and garage and a four-bedroom runs 8–10+ hours. It bills at one transparent hourly rate covering the crew, truck, fuel, drive time, pads, wrap, dollies, floor protection, and basic disassembly and reassembly. No per-stair fees and no fuel surcharge.
How long does a house move take in Marietta?
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 Marietta moves, or do I pack myself?
Both options are available. Most Marietta 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 Marietta?
No. 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. 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 Marietta residential move?
Two to four weeks is comfortable, and month-end and summer weekends fill first. We also take same-week and last-minute Marietta 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 Marietta?
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 Marietta move. Building Certificates of Insurance are issued within 24 hours of booking.
Can you move a Marietta home out of state?
Yes. Long-distance household moves out of Marietta are quoted on the load and the mileage, with the same crew loading and unloading rather than a broker handoff.
