Sebastian Moving Atlanta is the best overall Alpharetta moving company

As you might’ve guessed from the name, Sebastian Moving Atlanta is an Atlanta-based mover, offering moving, packing, storage and labor services to the metro Atlanta area and beyond. We called the business, specifically asking for an estimate on how much it would cost to move a three-bedroom, 1,300-square-foot house locally in Alpharetta.

Calling the business’s main service number connected us with the business owner, Danny Marmalejos, who was friendly, professional and happy to crunch some numbers over the phone.

When moving day rolls around, the crew will wrap your furniture in shrink wrap and blankets to keep everything protected from scratches, scuffs and dirt during the moving process. They’ll also bring tools to disassemble and reassemble your furniture as needed.

24/7 Moving is our top alternative Alpharetta mover

Founded in 2005, 24/7 Moving has been helping Atlanta residents with their moves for more than 20 years. Along with local and long-distance moving services, the company also handles packing, storage and labor-only jobs. It’s worth noting that 24/7 Moving is not interstate authorized, so they can only perform moves within the state of Georgia. So if you’re looking for a mover to help with an out-of-state move, you’ll have better luck with a different company. We called the business to ask for an estimate to move a three-bedroom house in Alpharetta.

During our call, we spoke with Hannah, a sales representative with the company. We were told that our move would likely require a team of three movers and one truck, which costs $209 per hour.

You’ll also pay a one-time service fee that covers the cost of travel and fuel, calculated based on distance and mileage from their office in Atlanta. Our service fee came out to be $180.

The movers will wrap and pad all your furniture in shrink wrap and blankets, as well as disassemble and reassemble any furniture that needs to be taken apart to fit out the door. Packing supplies, like boxes and Bubble Wrap, can be provided at an additional cost.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moving (within Georgia)

In order to book your move, you’ll need to put down quite a bit of money — the first hour of labor and the service fee. Unfortunately, the deposit is non-refundable. The company has a two-hour minimum for moving jobs, so expect to pay at least $418, plus your service fee. Payments can be made with cash or card, and there aren’t any extra processing fees when paying with a credit or debit card. However, they don’t accept checks. Additionally, all of the movers are drug-screened and background-checked.

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

At Yahoo Local, our goal is to highlight top local businesses, but we also understand that national moving companies can sometimes be the better option, particularly for long-distance relocations. After reviewing several nationwide providers, we chose BLVD Moving as our leading pick among the best national movers . For a closer look at how to choose between local and national companies , see our detailed comparison guide.

BLVD Moving is run by a team of experienced professionals with decades in the moving industry. Although the company currently operates only four offices in California, it offers both local and long-distance moving services throughout the United States. As a family-owned and independent company, BLVD owns its trucks and employs its own moving crews. That said, its policies allow for the occasional use of subcontractors or agents, a common industry practice during high-demand periods that’s still worth noting.

We requested an estimate from BLVD for a 500-mile move involving approximately 1,340 cubic feet of household items, which is about the size of a typical three-bedroom home without major appliances. The quoted price was around $6,700, which aligns with rates from other long-distance movers. To secure a reservation, BLVD requires a 33% deposit, with half of the remaining balance due at pickup and the final portion paid upon delivery.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moves

• Residential, commercial, and office relocations

• Professional packing

• Short- and long-term storage

• Financing options for eligible customers

If you need to cancel, BLVD will refund your deposit as long as you provide at least two business days’ notice before pickup. Delivery windows range from two to 21 business days depending on distance. The delivery timeline begins on your chosen preferred delivery date, meaning shipments can take just over a month in some cases.

BLVD advises customers to schedule their move at least 30 days in advance, and even earlier during busy periods such as summer or the beginning and end of the month. The quote process is straightforward, with options for virtual walkthroughs or online inventory forms to generate quick estimates. Financing is also available for qualified customers, with interest rates starting at 0%.

BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and holds a B rating , with 98 complaints on file, which is a typical number for a large national mover. Customer reviews average 4.5 stars on Google (based on 1,509 reviews) and 2.4 stars on Yelp (386 reviews). All movers are company employees who undergo background checks.

BLVD’s headquarters are located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif., 91311. The company operates daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. To request a quote, call 844-274-0500 or submit a request online .

Georgia moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

The information movers require to create an estimate can differ by company and how detailed their pricing system is. Some may request only basic details, such as your home’s size, number of bedrooms and the pickup and drop-off locations. Others won’t issue a quote until they’ve reviewed a complete inventory of the items you plan to move .

At the very least, be ready to provide the square footage of both your current and new homes, the full addresses, and details about any large or delicate items that need special handling. Many movers add extra charges for belongings that exceed certain weight limits, so sharing this information early can help you avoid surprise fees. You should also note whether either location has stairs or elevators, as movers frequently apply additional charges in those cases.

What should you know about packing and storage in Georgia?

Georgia’s climate is warm and humid for much of the year, with especially high temperatures during the spring and summer months. In Alpharetta, for example, temperatures typically vary from 35°F to 88°F and are rarely below 22°F or above 94°F, according to Weather Spark .

Belongings such as electronics, artwork, synthetic fabrics, cosmetics and medications can be easily damaged by heat and humidity. To keep these items safe, it’s best to move them in a climate-controlled vehicle. If storage is necessary, opting for an indoor or climate-regulated unit is a wise choice to help reduce the risk of heat-related damage.

What's different about condo and apartment moving in Georgia?

Relocating to or from an apartment or condo often involves dealing with stairs. Many moving companies add extra charges for carrying belongings up several flights, and some also include fees for elevator use. In certain cases, costs are calculated based on the total number of steps climbed, though each mover’s policy differs. You might not be charged for just one flight of stairs, but if your unit is on the third floor or above, an additional fee is typically expected.

Do you need moving permits or licenses to move in Georgia?

All moving companies that operate within Georgia must hold proper licensing. The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS), via its Motor Carrier Compliance Division (MCCD), is responsible for regulating and licensing intrastate household goods movers. Any business transporting household belongings within the state is required to secure a “Class B Household Goods Carrier Certificate” before operating legally in Georgia.

For additional details, see our comprehensive guide to Georgia’s moving company licensing requirements .

How much should you tip movers in Georgia?

A common rule of thumb for tipping movers is to give between 10% and 20% of your overall moving bill . This guideline applies to both local and long-distance moves. However, tipping is optional — it’s simply a gesture to express appreciation for quality service. If the movers don’t meet your expectations, you’re not required to leave a tip.
