Hire Movers in
Atlanta, GA

It depends. When safe, movers have strategies to protect your belongings from water damage, such as using plastic mattress covers and tarps. However, during extreme weather conditions or hurricanes, it may not be safe to proceed with a scheduled move. If the weather gets bad enough, your movers may have to cancel or reschedule. Make sure you understand your moving company’s extreme weather and rescheduling policies.

The most affordable way to move is to do as much of the work yourself as possible. However, that’s a lot of planning and effort to take care of alone. Labor-only movers provide a more budget-friendly alternative. If you don't mind driving a rented moving truck or handling logistics with a storage container, scheduling a labor-only move typically costs less than other moving services. Plus, you still get help with one of the hardest parts of a move: loading and unloading.

In Atlanta, most people book their movers about 14 days before the big day. However, if you plan on moving during busier seasons, like August, it tends to be harder to get your chosen date and time. We recommend that, no matter when you’re moving, you book as soon as you have a day set. This ensures availability and can help you secure better pricing.

It depends on the services you've booked. While some full-service movers may offer this in their base package, furniture disassembly and reassembly are often add-on services that come at an extra cost. If you're unsure about its inclusion with your scheduled services, reach out to your local mover to confirm.

It depends on your insurance coverage. Moving companies must provide basic liability coverage, but it often falls short of covering the full value of damaged goods. This coverage is good for $0.60 per pound of damaged items. However, if you opted into a more robust moving insurance package (which typically costs extra), you may be entitled to compensation for the total value of the damaged item or repairs.
