Question 1

What does a move cost in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Damon can price it either of two ways. Hourly, a two-mover crew with truck is $159, three movers $129, four movers $179, and billing starts at your door rather than at our yard. If the scope is clear from the start, we set a flat rate by home size instead: roughly $320 to $480 for a studio, $480 to $880 for one bedroom, $880 to $1,580 for two, $1,580 to $2,480 for three, and $2,480 to $3,880 for four. Give us both addresses, the stairs or elevator at each, and the parking situation, and you get a written figure. Anywhere in Atlanta and Fulton County, the rate we quote is the rate you pay on move day.

Question 2

Is Pair Of Guys Movers licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are licensed for household moves anywhere in Georgia under a state HHG household-goods license, and we carry DOT/MC interstate authority on file for long-haul runs, so a Buckhead job and a haul up I-20 to Birmingham both ride on proper paperwork. Every move carries $1 million in cargo coverage, and we send our credentials or a Certificate of Insurance straight to a Decatur loft, a Midtown high-rise, or any building management or HOA that needs one on file before the date.

Question 3

What does your full-service move actually cover?

Accepted Answer

The full job, not just the ride. We cover floors and doorways first, then pad and shrink-wrap the furniture and break down beds and tables before anything leaves. Packing too? We show up with boxes, tape, and paper and do the whole house or just the rooms you pick. House or office, across town or out of state, with storage or packing at either end, one crew runs the same owner-walked routine on every piece, piano and gun safe included, so you deal with one vendor, not three.

Question 4

How far out should I book the crew?

Accepted Answer

Book a Saturday or a month-end date two or three weeks out, since those go first, and earlier still when a Decatur loft or Midtown high-rise requires a freight-elevator reservation. A midweek, mid-month move often fits with just a few days&rsquo; notice, and when a truck has a gap in its day we happily take last-minute and same-day jobs. Call (888) 278-9005 and we will tell you straight what is still on the board.

Question 5

Do you take a deposit up front?

Accepted Answer

Usually not for a local Atlanta move; a confirmation call the day before is enough. We do ask for a small refundable deposit to lock in an interstate haul or a busy Saturday, credited in full to your final balance.

Question 6

Where does your crew move?

Accepted Answer

Atlanta and right across Fulton County: Buckhead, Midtown, Decatur, Inman Park, East Atlanta Village, Virginia-Highland, Old Fourth Ward, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Brookhaven, and the rest of Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton counties in between. We run I-75, I-285, I-85, Peachtree St, and Memorial Drive every day, handling everything from a Old Fourth Ward studio to a stilted bungalow with steep front steps in Inman Park, and we head out across North Georgia, the I-95 corridor, and beyond on the long hauls on a regular basis.

Question 7

Do you handle packing, or just the loading?

Accepted Answer

Either works, your call. A lot of customers pack their own boxes and only need strong backs and a truck; in that case we show up, load, haul, and unload. Want to skip packing? Our crew brings boxes, tape, and paper and packs everything or only part: kitchens, closets, artwork, and the fragile pieces that take longest. Tell us which way you lean when you book, and we bring the right crew size and supplies.

Question 8

Can you move just a few heavy items and leave the rest to us?

Accepted Answer

Of course, it is one of our most common calls. Lots of Fulton County customers book us for the big, awkward pieces only (a sectional, an armoire, a treadmill, a piano, a gun safe) and box up the rest themselves. We show up, pad and wrap each piece, carry it down the front steps or through the elevator, and set it back down right where you want it at the far end. Your written quote covers exactly what you asked for and not one thing more.

Question 9

Do stairs, a long carry, or parking change the price?

Accepted Answer

They can, and you hear about it before move day, never at the curb. A long haul from the truck, a tight hallway, or the steep front steps on a Inman Park bungalow adds time on an hourly job or a set surcharge on a flat-rate one, and we spell it out in the written quote up front. When street parking is tight on a narrow Old Fourth Ward block, we line up the spaces with the city ahead of time so the truck sits at your door, not three blocks down; we go over all of it with you beforehand so nothing catches you off guard on the day.

Question 10

How do you handle a brick walk-up, a student place, or a high-rise?

Accepted Answer

Every one gets its own plan. For a Inman Park bungalow with steep front steps or a Old Fourth Ward walk-up over a Virginia-Highland storefront we map the access, the turns, and the tight doorways ahead of time and bring the boards and straps to take a narrow staircase without scuffing a wall. For a Decatur loft near Medical City or a Midtown high-rise we call building management before the date, reserve the freight elevator and the dock window, and send over the Certificate of Insurance the building keeps on file. Either way we square away the street parking in advance so the carry stays short.

Question 11

Do you offer storage if my dates do not line up?

Accepted Answer

We do. When the new place is not ready yet, your things go into our clean, secured Atlanta warehouse &mdash; padded, inventoried, and waiting &mdash; and our crew brings them back out the day you say go. It comes up all the time around Fulton County when a closing slips or a lease runs out before the next place opens. Tell us roughly how long you will need it when you book, and we price the storage and the redelivery up front so nothing surprises you on the back end. Month-to-month runs about $75 to $210.

Question 12

What heavy specialty pieces do you move?

Accepted Answer

Because we run the whole move ourselves, the same crew, boards, and dollies take pianos, gun safes and fireproof safes, antique armoires and marble-top pieces, slate pool tables, big statuary, and oversized gym equipment right alongside the rest of the house. If it is heavy, awkward, and easy to damage, it is squarely in our lane &mdash; flag it when you book so the right gear and the right number of movers roll up ready, steep brick steps and dollies and all.

Question 13

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for my building?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we cut them constantly for the Decatur lofts, the Midtown high-rises, the condo associations around Old Fourth Ward, and the office buildings along I-285. Send over whatever your building management or HOA requires when you book (the coverage limits and the named parties) and we list them on the certificate well before move day, at no charge.

Question 14

Do you do commercial and office moves?

Accepted Answer

We do. Offices, retail, clinics, and small-business relocations around Atlanta and Fulton County run on the same trained crew, just scheduled around your business, evenings and weekends so you do not lose a workday. We pad and wrap desks and conference furniture, move and reconnect what we can, label and inventory by room or department, and coordinate the elevator and dock access at both buildings so your team walks in Monday and gets right back to it.

Question 15

Do you move pianos and gun safes as part of a full move?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A piano or a gun safe folds right into the rest of the job. There is no separate specialty outfit to schedule. We bring the boards, dollies, and straps, map out the front steps and doorways, and the very same crew loading the house handles the heavy piece. Give us the make and a rough weight when you book so we send the right number of movers and the right gear, and it rides the same careful way as everything else on the truck.

Question 16

How does a long-distance move out of Atlanta work?

Accepted Answer

We run it on our own DOT/MC interstate authority with a binding written quote, not a number that balloons once the truck reaches the door. The same crew that loads your home in Atlanta rides with it the whole way, door to door. A lot of these moves follow a family heading out to Birmingham, Knoxville, Charlotte, or Nashville. The truck is GPS-tracked the entire route, and we never hand your belongings off to a broker, a load board, or a warehouse trailer swap.

Question 17

Do you move offices, schools, and venues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We take on offices, churches, event halls, campuses around Georgia State and Emory, and small businesses across Atlanta and Fulton County, and we book evenings or weekends so a workday, a class, or a service never gets disrupted. Furniture rides padded and strapped, the elevator and dock access are reserved ahead of time, and the same crew places everything exactly where you want it so your people can get straight back to work.

Question 18

How can I pay for the move?

Accepted Answer

Major credit and debit cards and bank transfers all work, and whoever is arranging the move (a landlord, an employer, or a relative two states away) can settle the bill remotely. You pay once the job is finished, after everything is set in place and you have walked it over with the crew chief. The total matches the figure on your written quote, so there is nothing waiting to surprise you at the curb.

Question 19

What if I have to cancel or move my date?

Accepted Answer

Give us 48 hours and any deposit comes back in full. Plans shift &mdash; a closing slips, a lease date moves, a high-rise reshuffles its elevator schedule, a snowstorm rolls in &mdash; and we are not about to penalize you for it. The sooner you call, the easier it is for us to open that slot up for the next family.

Question 20

Should I tip the movers?

Accepted Answer

Never required &mdash; your quote already covers the whole job. That said, the crew earns it hauling a sofa down the steep front steps of a Inman Park bungalow or easing it through a tight Old Fourth Ward doorway in August, and a tip is always appreciated. Most customers land somewhere around 10&ndash;20% of the move split across the crew, or a flat amount per mover. Entirely your call.
