Top Marietta movers

The best moving company in Marietta for YOU

Shopping around for a moving company can be an overwhelming experience. To make it easier, start with your budget and timeline. Finding a mover that offers the moving services you need, like packing/unpacking, furniture assembly/reassembly and more, may be easy to do, but make sure it doesn't charge more than you can handle. Some moving companies charge additional fees beyond the hourly rate, including a trip fee. Make sure to ask about the hourly rate, hourly minimum and hidden fees when reaching out, so you can plan your moving budget accordingly. 

Availability is another major factor to consider when selecting a mover. Many movers book up quickly at the start and end of the month, weekends and during summer (considered peak moving season). When you reach out, ask the company how far in advance it books moves and if it has availability during the window you want to move. 

Companies like 24/7 Moving (our number one choice for Marietta moving companies) have fluctuating hourly rates based on demand, so the sooner you know your date, the better chance you have of locking in a lower price and getting your preferred moving date. It has a five-star Google rating, attesting to the high level of service and expertise you can expect from this top-rated Marietta moving company.

Best moving companies in Marietta, Ga.

24/7 Moving is the best overall Marietta moving company 

Since 2005, 24/7 Moving has been a trusted name and a reliable option for residential and commercial moves in Marietta, the Atlanta metro area and surrounding neighborhoods. This top-rated moving company offers full-service packing, furniture assembly and disassembly and careful handling of your belongings. With more than 18,000 moves completed and strong online reviews, 24/7 Moving is the best mover in Marietta. Former customers praise the company's " efficiency ," " amazing crew " and " excellent customer service ."

The price for a three-person crew ranges from $219 to $236, depending on demand. There is a two-hour minimum for weekday moves, and Saturday moves require three hours. That means you can expect to pay $438 to $472 on weekdays and $657 to $708 on Saturdays. A $219 trip fee is added to all moves and covers the truck and gas. The company prorates the time in 15-minute increments, which is fairly standard for most movers. 

The deposit is equal to one hour of time and the trip fee (note that this is a nonrefundable deposit). There's no fee to reschedule as long as you do so three to four business days in advance. While many Georgia moving companies charge a fee for paying with a card, 24/7 Moving does not. It takes Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, and you can pay your bill online. It also accepts cash for payment. 

Services offered

• Apartment moves 

• Residential moves 

• Commercial moves

• Storage 

• Packing

• Loading and unloading

All items are handled with care, with the team using blankets and stretch wrap to protect your furniture in transit. The team can also uninstall and reinstall your washing machine (but you have to provide the new hoses for installation). We spoke with representative Jorge Pineyro, who confirmed that all of the company's movers undergo background checks. He told Yahoo Local that "most of the team has been with us for five to 10 years" and that "we are really selective about who we hire."

This mover is well-rated online, boasting a glowing five-star rating on Google from 1,753 reviews and nearly matching rankings on Yelp, with a 4.5-star rating from 104 reviews. Adding to its credentials is its active accreditation status with the BBB , which has awarded it an A+ rating. It also has zero filed customer complaints.

Customer testimonial

Christian was the lead for our move and all the movers did an incredible job. I was wary of hiring movers this time after the previous movers I hired damaged most of our furniture. My experience with 24/7 couldn't have gone better. They kept track of which items were going into which rooms at the new place, and made sure to place all the furniture in the spots we requested. Very careful with our things, fast, and efficient—the move only took 4 hours. Would definitely hire them again! - Kristina O., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Formula Moving Co. is the top alternative Marietta mover

Formula Moving Co. was founded in 2021 by a local veteran of the moving industry, Eric Carlock, who spent 18 years working for Two Men and a Truck. He took his love and knowledge of moving to create Forumla Moving Co., which specializes in local and long-distance residential and commercial moving for Marietta residents and beyond. It has earned a strong reputation among former customers for offering the " best moving experience " at a " great price ," making it one of the best movers in the area.

We reached out to Formula Moving Co. for an estimate for a three-person crew and were told it is $180 with a three-hour minimum. There's also a mandatory truck fee of $180. So, at a minimum, you can expect to spend $720 using this mover. A 10% deposit is required to schedule your move and is applied to your final bill. If you plan to pay by card, note that a 3% transaction fee will apply. You can avoid being charged the extra fee by paying with Zelle, cash or check. A representative told us that it is free to cancel or reschedule a move, offering unusually generous flexibility from a moving company if things change on your end. Additionally, it offers free moving estimates and provides a 10% discount to seniors.

Services offered

• Commercial and residential moves

• Specialty item moves

• State-to-state moves

• Long-distance moves

• Furniture assembly/disassembly

• Loading/unloading

Among the specialty items it has experience moving are pianos, gun safes and hot tubs. It also offers in-home moving services for rearranging furniture, relocating appliances and moving office equipment. Additionally, some reviews note it is available for same-day moves , which is not a service all moving companies offer, making Formula a great option to hire if you find yourself in a last-minute moving jam.

A Formula Moving Co representative told us that its movers do not undergo background checks but have been working with the company for a while and take extra care during moves, wrapping all furniture with blankets. It is highly rated on sites like Yelp (4.7 stars based on 22 reviews) and Google (five-star rating with 163 reviews), with one former customer writing the team is " friendly, focused and clearly experienced ." 

The company is not accredited by the BBB and does not appear on the organization's website. Its business address for this location is 3960 Hwy. 101, Rockmart, Ga., 30153.

BLVD Moving is the best national mover

At Yahoo Local, our goal is to help people make informed, confident decisions. We enjoy highlighting local businesses, but sometimes a national moving company might be the smarter choice. If you're weighing your options, check out our guide comparing local and national movers . For those leaning toward a national provider, our top pick is BLVD Moving .

BLVD Moving was founded in 2000 and is led by a team with decades of experience in the moving industry. It has just four locations in California, but it handles both local and long-distance moves nationwide. It's a family-owned, independent operation with its own trucks and employees. However, its terms note that it might bring in subcontractors or agents for some jobs, a pretty normal move in this industry, especially when things get busy.

We contacted BLVD Moving for a quote on a 500-mile move that involved approximately 1,340 cubic feet of belongings, which is typical for a basic three-bedroom home (excluding large appliances). The price came in at roughly $6,700, which is similar to what other national movers charge. To book the move, it requires a 33% deposit upfront, with half of the remaining balance due at pickup. The remaining amount is due upon delivery of your items.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance relocations

• Residential, commercial, and office moving

• Professional packing

• Storage solutions

• Financing options

If your plans change, BLVD Moving will refund your deposit if you cancel at least two full business days before your pickup date. The delivery window ranges from two to 21 business days, depending on distance. That timeframe starts on the delivery date you select, so once you're ready for your items, it could take a little over a month for them to arrive.

It's a good idea to book at least a month in advance or even sooner if you're moving during busier periods like summer or around the first or last days of the month. (Our full guide on the best and worst times to move can help.) The quote process is straightforward; you can schedule a virtual walkthrough or submit an online inventory list to expedite the process. Financing is available for those who qualify, with rates starting as low as 0%.

BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and has an A- rating along with 79 complaints on file. That might sound high, but it's typical for companies with national reach. The company holds a 4.4-star rating on Google based on 937 reviews and a 2.3-star rating on Yelp from 346 reviews. All movers are direct employees and have passed background checks.

The main office is located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif. 91311. Business hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST daily. You can reach BLVD Moving at 844-274-0500 or visit its website to get a quote.

Customer testimonial

John & Alex were great with helping our move-in in Jersey City, and we had 5 star service coast to coast thanks to BLVD. David Garcia led our move pack up in LA and was a consummate professional. Both BLVD crews did a stellar job and I would definitely hire them again for a cross-country move. - Peter C., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Georgia moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

Before calling a Georgia moving company, we recommend having the following information handy. These are the most common details Georgia movers ask for, and providing them upfront kicks off a smooth moving process for you and your belongings: 

• Addresses of where you're moving from and to

• Moving dates 

• What type of residence (condo, apartment, single-family home, etc.)

• Square footage of your home

• Specialty items (pianos, safes, hot tubs)

• Number of large pieces of furniture (beds, dining room sets, etc)

• Number of boxes

The company will usually also ask questions about moving services you may need, such as furniture disassembly and/or reassembly and packing and/or unpacking. Other questions it may ask include more detailed information about your move, such as whether there are stairs or elevators to navigate, any homeowner's association rules to follow and what the parking situation is like for the moving truck (such as loading zones or street access).

What should you know about packing and storage in Georgia?

Moving companies in Georgia typically offer packing and storage services, which generally are not included in the hourly or flat rate provided. These are additional services that can save you time and stress. If you're on the fence about hiring professional packers or doing it yourself , consider that if something breaks during the move, the movers are liable for replacing or paying for it, whereas if you move yourself, you are on the hook. 

There is no shortage of short- and long-term storage options offered by Georgia moving companies. Make sure that the storage facility you choose is open during the hours you want to access your belongings and has 24/7 surveillance. It's also important to select a climate- or temperature-controlled storage unit to keep your belongings in the best condition possible. Electronics, important documents and furniture are some of the most common items to store in a climate-controlled unit . 

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

Whether you're moving to Atlanta, heading to the suburbs like Marietta or relocating elsewhere in Georgia, there are a few extra things to keep in mind when moving to or from a condo or apartment. In cities like Atlanta, keep in mind that parking can be limited. Talk to your building ahead of your moving date about reserving a loading zone or if you'll need a permit. Georgia buildings range from historic walkups with tight staircases to high-rises with freight elevators. It's good to be proactive and check with building management about reserving the elevator, if needed, so you and your movers know what to expect.

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

No, you do not need a moving permit or license to move your stuff from one home to another. However, if you hire a moving company, it must obtain a " Class B Household Goods Carrier Certificate " before it can operate legally within the Peach State. The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS), more specifically the Motor Carrier Compliance Division (MCCD), is responsible for licensing and regulating intrastate household goods movers . Additionally, it's common practice for many movers to display registration numbers clearly and prominently, including on company vehicles, advertising materials and invoices and proposals, so you should easily be able to find it.

A parking permit may be required for your moving truck. Check with the city or town you are moving within to find out what the local requirements are. Furthermore, read our guide to Georgia moving company licensing and regulations to gain a deeper understanding of what to expect.

How much should you tip movers in Georgia?

Tipping movers in Georgia is not mandatory, but should be considered for a job well done. For example, 24/7 Moving, our top-rated Marietta mover, notes that tipping is something you should decide upon after the move is complete, so you can evaluate the level of service you received. Movers prefer cash tips or receiving them instantly through a digital payment platform like Zelle, Venmo or PayPal. It's generally advised to tip movers anywhere from 10% to 20% of the total moving cost. Read our guide to tipping movers to figure out what you should do.
