Is your move a local move?

Start Here

A move under 50 miles counts as local. Most moves inside the metro, like Midtown to Marietta or Decatur to Alpharetta, land here. Longer moves are planned and priced differently, so picking the right service first keeps your quote accurate.

What comes with every local move

WHAT'S INCLUDED

1. A move coordinator: One contact from quote to delivery who confirms your inventory, crew size, and arrival window.

2. A walkthrough before anything moves: Your crew lead walks the house with your inventory list and confirms every room before loading starts.

3. A trained crew and an equipped truck: Crew size matched to your home. Every truck carries furniture pads, dollies, straps, and tool kits.

4. Home protection: Runners on floors and stairs and padding on door frames before the first piece moves.

5. Furniture wrapped in the room: Pieces are blanket-wrapped and shrink-wrapped before they leave the room.

6. Placement room by room: Furniture is set where you want it, then the protection comes up.

    Local moving questions

    FAQ

    How much do local movers cost in Atlanta?
    Most Midtown local moves run $600 to $1,400 for a studio or 1 bedroom, $1,600 to $2,400 for 2 bedrooms, $2,400 to $3,100 for 3 bedrooms and $3,200 and up for 4 bedrooms, before packing. Labor starts at $160 an hour for two movers, plus a truck fee based on drive time.
    What fees are on a local move?
    Moving labor, a truck fee, materials if you buy boxes and supplies from us, and a 3% fee on card payments. Overnight truck holding, storage, specialty items like pianos, hot tubs and large gun safes, junk removal and unscheduled extra stops are added only when your move needs them.
    What counts as a local move?
    A move under 50 miles. Moves over 50 miles or across state lines are handled as long distance moves.
    Do you offer binding quotes on local moves?
    Yes. A binding quote locks the price, but it is set higher to cover a day that runs long. With hourly billing, you pay less if the move finishes early, down to the 3-hour minimum.
    Are your movers background-checked?

    Yes. Every Midtown mover passes a background check and a drug test before hiring, and crews are uniformed and trained by the company.

    Is there a minimum?

    Yes. Every local job has a 3-hour minimum, so the lowest local job is $540 before the 3% card fee. After that, we bill time in 15-minute increments. Most moves take 4 hours or more because of the time spent wrapping and protecting furniture.
