Straight answer
LIOO charges flat hourly rates — a two-mover crew and truck start at $160/hr, $200/hr for three movers, $240/hr for four, everything included. Your total depends on home size, access, and distance.
A ballpark, not a quote. Add stairs, elevators, gated access, packing & distance on the full Atlanta moving cost guide.

Common questions
LIOO Moving charges flat hourly rates: a two-mover crew and truck start at $160/hr, $200/hr for three movers, and $240/hr for four, with dollies, pads, and straps included and your quote in writing up front. A typical 1–2 bedroom move runs roughly $480–$1,200 and a 3–4 bedroom move roughly $1,200–$2,400, depending on access and distance — with no hidden fees.
Most managed high-rise and mid-rise buildings in Midtown, Buckhead, Downtown, and the Perimeter require a COI naming the property before movers can use the freight elevator or loading dock — often 24 to 48 hours ahead. Our crews provide it for free.
We cover metro Atlanta across Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth, DeKalb, Fayette, Cobb, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, and Henry counties — from Johns Creek and Roswell to Peachtree City, Lawrenceville, Cumming, and Douglasville.
Mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) and the middle of the month are quietest and easiest to book. The last weekend of the month and the deep-summer peak are busiest and priciest.
Tell us the home, the floor, and the access — we'll plan the staging, the gate or dock, and the timing, and put your price in writing.
