Why Choose Sunrise as Your Atlanta Moving Company?

Atlanta has no shortage of moving companies. Here’s what sets Sunrise Moving & Storage apart for local families and businesses.

Family-Owned and Operated Since 1999

Sunrise Moving & Storage has been a family-owned Atlanta moving company for more than two decades. That means you’re never just an account number. Our team takes the time to understand what you’re moving, where you’re going, and what matters most to you, so your relocation feels personal rather than transactional. Many of our customers return for future moves and refer us to family and friends because they know they’ll be treated with the same care every time.

Experienced Atlanta Moving Professionals

Our crews are familiar with the realities of moving in and around Atlanta: dense in-town neighborhoods, apartment and condo buildings with strict loading-dock rules, narrow streets in historic areas, and suburban homes with long driveways or multiple flights of stairs. That local experience helps our teams plan efficient, careful moves instead of guessing at logistics on moving day.

Local and Long-Distance Expertise

Sunrise handles moves of every distance, from a short move across metro Atlanta to a long-distance relocation to another state. That range of experience means our team understands the different pricing structures, timelines, and planning requirements involved in each type of move.

Bekins Van Lines Agent

As the interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, Sunrise Moving & Storage combines local, family-owned service with the equipment, tracking capabilities, and nationwide network of one of the country’s most established van lines. That partnership benefits Atlanta customers moving long distances who want the reliability of a national carrier without losing the personal attention of a local company.

Licensed and Insured

Sunrise Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured, operating under USDOT No. 2256609, MC 770031, and Georgia certificate GA HG201768. We’re happy to provide documentation of our licensing and insurance coverage before your move.

Award-Winning Service

Sunrise Moving & Storage was named the 2024 Best of Georgia winner for Best Moving Company by the Georgia Business Journal, recognition that reflects our ongoing commitment to customer service across the Atlanta area. We’re also proud to be a repeat nominee, in both 2025 and 2026.

Customer-Focused Service

As a family-owned business, our philosophy is simple: treat every customer like family. That shows up in how we communicate before your move, how carefully our crews handle your belongings, and how we follow up to make sure you’re satisfied once you’re settled.

Local Movers in Atlanta

If you’re moving within Atlanta or the surrounding metro area, here’s what to expect from a local move with Sunrise.

A local move is generally defined as a move where the distance from pickup to delivery is less than 50 miles. Local moves are priced hourly, based primarily on the number of movers your move requires. Larger homes or moves with more belongings typically need larger crews to move efficiently, while smaller apartments may only require a two-person team.

Other factors that affect your local move include:

• Travel charges: A standard travel fee typically applies to cover the crew’s time and mileage to and from your location.
• Minimum moving time: Most local movers, including Sunrise, require a minimum number of hours per job.
• Crew size: A larger crew costs more per hour but often finishes faster, which can make the total cost comparable to a smaller crew working longer.
• Access and logistics: Stairs, elevators, long carries from the truck to your door, and parking availability can all affect how long your move takes.

To prepare for moving day, have boxes packed and clearly labeled ahead of time, clear walkways for your crew, and confirm any building requirements (like elevator reservations or loading dock access) in advance.

Long-Distance Moving From Atlanta

Moving out of state, or into Atlanta from another state, involves different pricing and planning than a local move. Interstate moves are priced based on the weight of your shipment and the distance it travels, under a different tariff structure than local Georgia moves.

As the interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, Sunrise Moving & Storage offers Atlanta customers access to nationwide moving capabilities backed by an established van line, while still working directly with our local team throughout the process. Whether you’re relocating for a job, downsizing to a new state, or moving your family across the country, we help plan a long-distance move that stays on schedule and within budget.

Commercial Movers in Atlanta

Sunrise Moving & Storage also provides commercial moving services for Atlanta-area businesses, including:

• Office relocations
• Warehouse moves
• Internal office moves
• Business relocations
• Commercial storage
• Planning and coordination
• Minimizing business downtime

We also have experience with more specialized commercial moves, including laboratory relocations, hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), library relocations, and storage and distribution projects. Our commercial team works around your business hours whenever possible to reduce disruption to your operations.

More Than Just Atlanta Movers

Senior Moving Services

Sunrise specializes in senior moves into, around, and out of Atlanta and the metro area. Our team is experienced in providing compassionate yet professional senior moving services that keep our clients comfortable with major life transitions while moving items efficiently and safely. We can also assist in downsizing and moving items to other relatives’ homes.

Professional Packing

Sunrise offers both full-service and partial packing options. Our team can pack your entire home before moving day, or handle specific rooms and fragile items while you pack the rest yourself. Either way, we use quality packing materials to protect your belongings in transit.

Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly

Larger furniture is disassembled before loading, wrapped in moving pads for protection, and reassembled once it arrives at your new home, so you don’t have to figure out how to put your bed frame or dining table back together yourself.

Specialty Items

Our crews are equipped to handle other large or delicate items, such as pool tables, antiques, and artwork, when these services are part of your move.

Storage Solutions

Storage is often part of the moving equation. Common reasons Atlanta customers need storage during a move include:

• A gap between closing dates
• Downsizing to a smaller home
• Home renovations
• Staging a home for sale
• A temporary move
• Delayed new construction
• A long-distance relocation with a gap in timing

Sunrise Moving & Storage offers climate-controlled storage to protect your belongings from Georgia’s heat and humidity, whether you need short-term storage during a move or a longer-term solution.

Moving in Atlanta: What to Expect

Moving in Atlanta comes with a few local realities worth planning around.

Atlanta Traffic

Atlanta traffic can add significant time to a move, especially during rush hour or on major routes like I-285, I-75, and I-85. Our team plans moving-day timing and routes with local traffic patterns in mind.

Apartment & Condo Moves

In-town apartment and condo buildings often come with their own logistics: elevator reservations, designated loading zones, parking restrictions, and building move-in/move-out windows. We’re experienced coordinating with property management to keep these moves on schedule.

Large Homes & Suburban Moves

Larger suburban homes typically mean longer loading times, more stairs, longer driveways, and larger overall inventories. We plan crew size and timing accordingly, so your move stays efficient.

Downtown & Intown Moves

Tighter streets, limited parking, and stricter building access are common in Atlanta’s downtown and intown neighborhoods. Our crews are familiar with navigating these conditions.

Summer Weather

Georgia summers bring heat and the occasional storm. We plan around weather-related delays and take extra precautions to protect your belongings and crew during hot-weather moves.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire Movers in Atlanta?

Moving costs vary based on several factors, including:

• Size of the home
• Number of belongings
• Number of movers needed
• Moving distance
• Moving date
• Packing requirements
• Stairs or elevators
• Specialty items
• Storage needs
• Loading/unloading requirements

Local moves are typically priced hourly based on crew size, while intrastate and interstate moves are priced by weight and distance under different tariff structures. Because every move is different, Sunrise Moving & Storage provides free estimates: by phone for smaller moves, like a one-bedroom apartment, and in-home or virtual for larger homes, so you get an accurate picture of cost before moving day.

What Atlanta Customers Say About Sunrise Moving

Atlanta customers consistently highlight our professionalism, communication, and careful handling of their belongings, from local apartment moves to long-distance relocations.

“Sunrise moving and storage did an excellent job moving our furniture. Our move was three hours to our new home and Charles and his crew were on time and careful with our belongings. Chelsea our estimator did a great job and stayed in touch during the move.”  – Michael L.

“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.

“I highly recommend Sunrise Moving service, so much so that I am writing my first online review. From the moment I called and spoke with Charlene I felt like I had a professional and knowledgeable partner to help us get through our local Atlanta move.
Sunrise takes great care to provide a thorough on-site estimate and ours was spot on with no surprises at the end. They communicate well at each step of the process so we always knew what to expect and exactly when the team would arrive.
Our stellar team was Eli, Melvin, Jorge, Oscar and Edgar who took such care with our belongings I cannot say enough about this team. They were prompt, courteous, kind, hardworking men from start to finish. We had some challenging pieces of furniture and a lot of stairs. They handled everything with no problem, as they are professional movers, unlike what you sometimes see in a local move. When we move again, I will choose Sunrise again without a doubt!” – M. C.
