Our Atlanta Moving Services

Your Trusted Atlanta Movers Since 1999

Finding the right Atlanta movers can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already juggling the dozens of decisions that come with a move. At Sunrise Moving & Storage, we’ve spent more than 25 years making that decision easy. Founded in 1999 and based in Tucker, GA, we’re a family-owned and operated moving company built on a simple promise: treat every customer like a neighbor, and treat every move like it’s our own.

As one of the most recognized local moving companies in Atlanta and a repeat nominee and winner of the Georgia Business Journal’s Best of Georgia award for Moving Companies, we bring a level of experience, accountability, and community investment that national chains simply can’t match. Whether you’re moving around the block or across the state, Sunrise is the team Atlanta trusts.

Atlanta Local Movers: Hourly, Transparent & Stress-Free

For moves within the Atlanta metro area, Sunrise Moving & Storage is an experienced Atlanta local mover, charging by the hour with full transparency and no hidden fees. Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment in Decatur or a five-bedroom home in Alpharetta, our process is the same: show up on time, work efficiently, and deliver your belongings safely to your new space.

How Local Move Pricing Works

Local move billing begins when our crew arrives at your origin address and ends when the last item is placed at your destination. Per Georgia moving regulations, a minimum of two hours of labor applies on weekdays, and three hours on weekends and holidays. A flat travel time fee is applied to each local move to cover crew travel to and from your location: a standard, predictable charge you’ll see on your estimate upfront.

Our local moving services include:

• Full-service residential moving for homes, apartments, condos, and townhomes
• Specialized senior moving services for downsizing, 55+ community, and senior facility moves
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly at no additional charge
• Professional packing services available (full, partial & fragile-only)
• Pad wrapping and blanket protection for all large furniture
• Careful placement and arrangement of furniture in your new space
• Specialty item moving, including pianos, pool tables, and safes
• Loading and unloading services for customers who’ve rented their own truck
• Custom crating for antiques, artwork, mirrors, and high-value items
• Commercial office moving for businesses of all sizes

Our crews are experienced in moving all types of properties, from studio apartments to large multi-story homes, and from commercial offices to retail spaces. No job is too large or too small, and every move gets the same level of care and professionalism.

“We had a great experience with Sunrise Moving. We worked with Charlene throughout the entire experience. She was always very responsive to all of my questions and very upfront with pricing. The team that came to pack our house was professional, kind, and well organized. They did a great job packing boxes and took immense care to safeguard our items. We will definitely be recommending Sunrise Moving to our friends and family.” – Lace M.

Atlanta Intrastate Movers: Long-Distance Moves Within Georgia

Relocating more than 50 miles from the Atlanta area? You need Atlanta intrastate movers who know Georgia inside and out. Sunrise Moving & Storage handles long-distance in-state relocations to destinations across Georgia with the same attention to detail and care we bring to every local move.

How Intrastate Move Pricing Works

For intrastate moves over 50 miles, pricing is determined by two factors: the total weight of your shipment and the distance between your origin and destination. This weight-and-distance model gives you better cost predictability for longer hauls and ensures you’re only paying for what you actually need to move.

Our intrastate moving process includes a pre-move walkthrough or virtual estimate, professional packing (optional), careful loading onto our fully equipped trucks, protected transit, and complete unloading and placement at your destination. For moves that cross state lines, visit our Long Distance Moving page to learn about our nationwide capabilities as an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines.

• Savannah (approximately 4 hours from Atlanta)
• Macon (approximately 1.5 hours from Atlanta)
• Augusta (approximately 2.5 hours from Atlanta)
• Columbus (approximately 2 hours from Atlanta)
• Athens (approximately 1.5 hours from Atlanta)
• Gainesville, Rome, Dalton, Brunswick, Valdosta, and all points statewide

Professional Packing Services: Let Us Handle the Hard Part

Packing is consistently ranked as one of the most stressful parts of any move, and it’s also one of the most common causes of damaged belongings when done improperly. Sunrise Moving & Storage offers professional packing services that eliminate the guesswork, protect your valuables, and save you significant time before moving day.

Our trained packers use high-quality materials, including double-walled boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and specialty materials, along with proven techniques developed over 25+ years of moving experience. From your most fragile china to your largest electronics, we pack it right the first time.

Our packing services include:

• Full-home packing: We pack every room, every item, from start to finish
• Partial packing: We handle the rooms or items you’d rather not tackle yourself
• Custom crating for antiques, artwork, sculptures, and high-value collectibles
• Specialty wrapping for mirrors, flat-screen TVs, and oversized framed pieces
• Supplies-only: We deliver packing materials so you can pack on your schedule
• Unpacking and placement services at your destination upon request

When Sunrise packs your home, everything arrives labeled, organized, and ready to unpack. It’s a faster, safer, and far less exhausting way to move, and it gives you more time to focus on everything else a move demands.

“I had a wonderful experience with Sunrise moving and storage. They were able to give a detailed estimate and schedule the packing / moving quickly. Charles and Romeo even arrived early on the day! They were very respectful and conscientious with the packing and moving of my items. And since I had some packing material for them to use, the cost was less that the original estimate! I was impressed by the quality and efficiency of everything from start to finish.” – Adora

Local & Intrastate Moving Tips for Atlanta Residents

Atlanta presents some unique logistical challenges for movers, from notorious traffic patterns to seasonal heat and unpredictable weather. After 25+ years of moving people across the metro and across the state, our team has learned a few things.

Here are our best tips for making your Atlanta move as smooth as possible:

Plan Around Atlanta Traffic

Atlanta’s traffic is consistently ranked among the worst in the nation, and moving day is not the time to get caught in gridlock. Avoid scheduling your move during morning rush hour (7–9 AM) or evening rush hour (4–7 PM) on weekdays. If possible, schedule your move with your Atlanta moving company to start mid-morning on a weekday, when traffic is lighter, and parking is easier to secure at both locations.

For moves involving I-285 (the Perimeter), I-75/85 (the Connector), or GA-400, check real-time traffic conditions the morning of your move and have an alternate route in mind. Our drivers are experienced navigating Atlanta’s road network and will always take the most efficient route, but building in extra time never hurts.

Reserve Parking and Elevator Access in Advance

If you’re moving out of or into an apartment or condo in Atlanta (especially in high-density areas like Buckhead, Midtown, or the Virginia-Highland neighborhood) contact your building management well in advance. Most Atlanta apartment communities require you to reserve a loading dock, freight elevator, and designated parking space for your moving truck. Some buildings also have strict move-in/move-out time windows. Failing to arrange this ahead of time can cause costly delays on moving day.

Beat the Atlanta Summer Heat

Atlanta summers are hot and humid, with average high temperatures above 90°F from June through August. If you’re planning a summer move, schedule your crew to start as early in the morning as possible to avoid peak afternoon heat. Stay hydrated, keep water available for your moving team, and make sure climate-sensitive items (candles, vinyl records, certain electronics, plants) are transported in a climate-controlled environment.

For intrastate moves to coastal Georgia destinations like Savannah or Brunswick, keep in mind that summer heat and humidity are even more intense near the coast. Plan for longer travel times and ensure your belongings are protected accordingly.

Time Your Intrastate Move Carefully

If you’re relocating to another Georgia city, timing matters. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons for intrastate moves, which means booking slots fill up quickly, often weeks in advance. For a fall or winter move, you’ll generally find more scheduling flexibility and potentially lower rates. No matter when you move, book your Sunrise Moving & Storage estimate as early as possible to lock in your preferred date.

Declutter Before Your Move 

For intrastate moves priced by weight, every pound counts. Before your move, take time to sort through your belongings and donate, sell, or discard anything you no longer need. Furniture, appliances, clothing, and books add up quickly. Lightening your load before the movers arrive can meaningfully reduce your move cost and make unpacking at your new home considerably easier.

Know Atlanta’s HOA and Community Move-In Rules

Many Atlanta-area neighborhoods (particularly in suburbs like Johns Creek, Milton, and Peachtree City) are governed by homeowners associations (HOAs) with specific rules about moving trucks, parking, and even the hours during which moves can take place. Review your new community’s HOA guidelines before scheduling your move to avoid fines or complications on moving day.

“What can I say about this company. They are a Godsend. While going through a rough patch in my life I had to put my entire house in storage. Through the time and through my ups and downs they helped me maintain my household belongings. Once I was able to get a new home years later Charlene helped me once again by quickly getting me scheduled to get my belongings delivered to my home.

When the delivery crew came the took the time to put the things where I wanted and left my home the way they found it.

I would highly recommend them for your moving and storage needs.” – Patrick L.
