Expert Packing Assistance
Our team is trained to help pack every item in your house, and we offer complete packing services for customers who want us to professionally pack their items. We also have partial or DIY packing for customers who prefer a more hands-on approach. With partial packing, we pack based on your direction; we also offer quality materials and advice if you opt for DIY packing. On moving day, our team will wrap your furniture and protect your home space as we securely load your belongings in the truck for transit.
Quick Declutter and Storage Assistance
Not only can we assist with local movers when you need help with moving your belongings from your old home to your new one. Additionally, we offer temporary storage and decluttering services if you're staging your home or long-term storage if you need some time before bringing all of your items into your new home. Successful moves are often based on timing and easy transitions, and if you realize the need for short- or long-term storage as you get settled in, our 160,000 square foot warehouse in the Atlanta metro area can be a quick and easy one-stop-shop solution.
Understanding How We Calculate the Cost of Movers for Local Moves in Atlanta
When planning an Atlanta move, you don’t want the stress associated with confusion over the local movers’ cost. With Suddath, you can count on clear, transparent pricing. Five factors go into the cost of movers for local moves in Atlanta although not each will have the same weight. This method means that you’ll only pay for services you need.
Unclear Pricing
When a moving company provides you with a vague quote, it can be frustrating and leave you confused about the actual cost. Count on a detailed breakdown at Suddath that includes labor, transportation, packing materials, and valuation coverage costs plus those for any additional services. Benefit from no hidden fees.
Clarify Optional Services
Inflated moving costs that cause you to pay for services you didn’t even need is also frustrating. So, we provide a full service menu with clear pricing where you can make your choices. Decide what you’re willing to pay for and prioritize what’s most important: from packing to disconnecting and reconnecting appliances.
Weight and Mileage
Because local moves max out at 50 miles, mileage is a minor factor. Your household goods’ weight, though, can significantly affect your cost of movers for local moves in Atlanta. Suddath will explain each of these factors in your quote in detail. If you’d like to lower your quote, before getting it, reduce the weight of your belongings. You could:
- Determine what won’t fit in your new home; don’t move those items.
- Recycle items with no remaining value. Or, toss them.
- Give friends and family gifts of ones they’d appreciate (but you don’t need).
- Donate to charities, using pickup services if available.
- Offset moving costs by selling your unneeded belongings.
Your Move Date
Finding just the right moving date can be frustrating. Flexibility, though, can reduce that feeling and save you money. Book a weekday move that fits your schedule for a more cost-effective relocation. If possible, move during the industry’s off-season (October through April) when there’s less demand for services.
Valuation Coverage
This subject can be a source of confusion. Our sales reps or move coordinators will explain moving valuation coverage in detail: how it differs from insurance and how it protects your belongings. This can help you to make the best decision for your situation.
Get Your Customized Quote
Our Atlanta moving company provides transparent cost information. That’s unlike many moving companies who try to provide you with a cookie cutter move or take advantage of you. When you’re ready to schedule your local move, reach out. We also offer financing options.

ATLANTA LOCAL MOVER FAQs
Distance-wise, a local move is one that’s fifty miles or less. So, this could mean a move across one part of Atlanta to another—or a move from Alpharetta to Atlanta or Morrow to Atlanta. Once a relocation exceeds fifty miles, then the moving industry typically refers to this as a long-distance move.
It depends, because each local moving company in Atlanta can calculate quotes in the way of their choice and set their own rates. As far as Suddath’s local movers in Atlanta, we transparently use these five factors to determine the cost of your relocation:
• The weight of your household goods: Reducing their weight can help to lower the cost of your local movers in Atlanta. Throw away or recycle; donate to charities; gift people with possessions; hold a sale; and so forth. Then think about what to store and what to transport before reaching out for your estimate.
• The distance of your relocation: This can make a bigger difference with a long-distance move than with a local one.
• The date of your move: If you want the most cost-effective relocation possible, schedule it on a weekday in the off-season of October through April with your local moving company in Atlanta.
• The add-on services chosen: This includes your packing and unpacking services of choice and the storage solutions needed.
• The additional moving valuation coverage you select: This information can help you to protect your belongings and answer your questions about moving valuation coverage (which is not the same as insurance).
If you have any questions about how Suddath calculates the cost of your local movers in Atlanta, just let us know.
When cost-effectiveness is your goal, pick a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Those days are generally cheaper than weekends. To save the most money, you’ll want to relocate between October and April, the “off-season” for the moving industry, and avoid any demand spikes experienced by your local movers in Atlanta.
Next up, reduce the weight of your possessions because one of the key factors in a moving quote is how much belongings weigh. So, before contacting your local moving company in Atlanta for your estimate, do these things:
• Determine what has no value to anyone, and toss or recycle those items.
• Help out others by donating items to charities in Atlanta. This list contains some of the better-known places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army as well as some lesser-known ones.
• If you know that friends or family members would like some of the belongings that you no longer need, surprise them with a helpful present.
• Selling belongings can help you to reduce the weight and gain more funds for your moving expenses. Check out consignment shops, hold a rummage sale, or sell items online.
• Do you know which belongings you want to store? Knowing that can help when you request your quote.
After you’ve taken care of household goods in this way, you’ve lowered their weight. Then, contact your local moving company in Atlanta.
Ask them! Although it’s unlikely any local moving company in Atlanta would admit to being less than legitimate, ones of quality will gladly show you their accreditations, licenses, and awards (ask us!). Review their website, contact the Better Business Bureau and ask for the company’s rating, and if friends or family members have recently moved, ask about their experiences.
Watch out for red flags, which include verbal-only estimates, movers that show up without a logo on their truck or one that was obviously stuck on, and movers that pressure you to “sign up now to get the best deal.”
We’ll happily (and humbly) toss our hat into that ring. Suddath is the experienced choice, moving families like yours for more than one hundred years with more than 80,000 residential moves completed in the United States annually. (That doesn’t even account for our award-winning international moving services.)
One of our specialties is the local move, and we offer flexible services to create the best moving experience, including an adaptable menu of packing and unpacking services and storage solutions. Our local movers in Atlanta are carefully vetted, background checked, and trained before they ever move any of our customers. When you choose Suddath, you can count on having a dedicated move coordinator who will guide you throughout the process and gladly answer any and all of your questions. So, when you’re ready to move in or out of Atlanta, we’re here and ready to help you: efficiently, securely, and with finesse that’s gained through experience.
First, people sure are moving to Atlanta! The population in the greater metro area is predicted to reach nearly eight million people by 2025, which is an increase of almost two million when compared to the 2020 U.S. Census figures. So, why are people doing that?
Jobs and the economy are a big driving factor. It’s expected that, by 2050, the region will add 856,000 new jobs—totaling 4.6 million jobs. Plus, the cost of living is calculated to be three percent below the national average.
If you love sports, Atlanta has outstanding professional teams: Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, the National Basketball Association’s Atlanta Hawks, the National Football League’s Atlanta Falcons, the Women’s National Basketball Associations, Atlanta Dream, and Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United FC.
If you prefer fine dining, arts, culture, and more, Atlanta has that in droves. Stone Mountain Park attracts campers, hikers, golfers, and more from all around the country while the Georgia Aquarium and Atlanta Botanical Garden draw nature lovers. If that’s not enough reasons to move to Atlanta, then how about this? The city is the thirteenth best place to live in the United States, weather-wise.
