Move-Day Logistics
What a Roswell Move Actually Involves
This city isn’t one kind of move. The historic core, the estate neighborhoods east of the river, and the apartment communities each come with their own access problems. Crews that don't plan for them lose hours — and that shows up on your bill. Here's how we approach the situations that come up most.
The Historic District & Canton Street
The blocks around the square have narrow lanes, tight curb space, and frequent weekend and festival closures. A 26-foot truck often can't park at the door. We scout access ahead of time, stage the truck at the nearest legal spot, and run a shorter dolly path when the street is restricted. For event weekends we schedule early arrivals before traffic builds. Many of these homes are older two-stories with steep, narrow staircases and no elevator, so we plan crew size around the stair carries, not just the square footage.
Commute Corridors & River Crossings
Holcomb Bridge Road and the GA-400 interchanges back up hard during morning and evening commutes. We time arrivals and inter-stop drives around those windows so traffic doesn't eat into billable hours, and we route between addresses on Alpharetta Highway or other surface roads when the interstate is congested. For moves crossing the Chattahoochee near Riverside Park and the Chattahoochee Nature Center, or heading toward Sandy Springs, the corridor you take matters more than the mileage.
Gated Estates — Horseshoe Bend & Willow Springs
Gated communities like Horseshoe Bend, Willow Springs, and the Country Club of Roswell add a check-in step and often require a certificate of insurance on file before the truck reaches the gate. The homes themselves tend to mean long carries from the street, circular or steep driveways, and turnaround limits for a full-size truck. At Horseshoe Bend, for example, the manned gate won't pass a moving truck until the COI and crew names are submitted ahead of the date, and several of the river-bluff lots end in tight cul-de-sacs where a 26-foot truck stages at the street and the crew runs a staged carry. We confirm gate access and certificate requirements before the date and bring the crew size those carry distances call for.
Apartments & Townhomes
The apartment communities on the east side — like The Crossings at Holcomb Bridge, Ellwood Pines, and Wood Creek — and the elevator-equipped, controlled-access buildings off Mansell Road such as Woodland Pointe and Creekside at Mansell usually require a reserved freight elevator or loading-zone window and a COI naming the property manager. Upper-floor walk-ups and long interior corridors are common, which changes how we crew and stage the load. Give us the property name when you book. If the office lets us reserve the elevator or loading zone, we handle it; if it takes that booking only from residents, we say so and schedule the crew to your slot. The certificate the building requires goes over before move day either way.

Pricing Guide
Roswell Moving Costs — What to Expect
Each move here is billed by the hour, with the movers and the truck priced as one figure. The top half of the table gives that hourly figure by team size; the bottom half shows what a full-service move usually totals by home size.
| Team size | Full service, movers and truck | Labor-only, your truck |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers | $160/hr | $140/hr |
| 3 movers | $200/hr | $180/hr |
| 4 movers | $240/hr | $220/hr |
| 5 movers | $280/hr | $260/hr |
| 6 movers | $320/hr | $300/hr |
| Home size | Typical team | Typical total, full service |
| Studio | 2 movers | $400–$700 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 movers | $480–$900 |
| 2 bedroom | 3 movers | $700–$1,300 |
| 3 bedroom | 3–4 movers | $1,000–$1,800 |
| 4 bedroom and up, estates | 4–6 movers | $1,200–$2,400+ |
Included: the truck, fuel, pads, shrink wrap, dollies, and taking furniture apart and putting it back together. No separate fuel or stair charges.
Minimum: 2.5 hours, or 3 hours on weekends, same-day bookings, and moves 25+ miles from downtown. Addresses 25 or more road miles from downtown Atlanta carry the 3-hour minimum, and part of Roswell sits past that line, so the minimum depends on the address.
Specialty items: Pianos, gun safes and anything over 300 pounds carry a $100 specialty-item fee, quoted before you book.
Valuation: released valuation at $0.60 per pound per item is included.
Deposit: 25% of the estimated total reserves the date and is credited to the final bill.
What Moves the Number Here
The access details of your street usually shift a quote more than the distance does. A third-floor walk-up off Holcomb Bridge typically adds about an hour of carry time on a one-bedroom. A long-driveway carry at a Horseshoe Bend or Willow Springs estate often means adding a mover, or an extra hour, to keep the load moving steadily. And historic-district jobs near Canton Street that can’t park at the door add carry time between the staged truck and the house — usually 30 to 60 minutes. We flag these before move day so the estimate matches what actually happens on site.
Typical totals are ranges, not quotes; the inventory, staircases, elevator time, carry distance and parking at your address set the final number. Moves to elsewhere in Georgia are priced by weight and distance after an inventory review.
Service lines
Moving services in Roswell
Five service lines for the kinds of homes here. Office moves around Town Center and the Mansell office parks run under commercial moving, downsizing and assisted-living moves under senior moving, and moves to other parts of Georgia under long-distance moving.
Historic homes near Canton Street
Many houses in the historic district were built long before anyone pictured a modern sectional: steep, narrow stairs, low door heads, and plaster walls that mark easily. The crew pads banisters and door frames, takes beds and case pieces apart before they reach the stairs, and parks at the closest legal spot when the street out front can’t take a truck.
Subdivision and single-family moves
In the swim-and-tennis subdivisions and the larger lots east of the river, the job is volume and distance: three- and four-bedroom inventories, garages and bonus rooms, and long walks from a cul-de-sac to the front door. Everything is counted room by room at the estimate, so the right number of movers and trucks show up on the day.
Apartment moves
Apartment communities here run from controlled-access elevator buildings to walk-ups with long exterior stairs. Some managers let us reserve the elevator or loading zone ourselves, and we do; others take that booking only from the tenant, and then we build the day around your slot. The building has its insurance certificate before the truck arrives.
Packing
Have us pack every room, pack only the fragile ones, or buy cartons and tape and handle the rest yourself. Older homes tend to hold china cabinets, framed art, and heirloom glass, which get dish-pack cartons and extra paper, and every carton is marked by room so it goes straight to the right floor at the new house.
Labor-only loading
Renting the truck or a portable container yourself? Two or three movers load it by the hour, stacking boxes and furniture in tight tiers against the walls so nothing shifts on the drive, and can meet you at the other end to unload it too.
Need somewhere to keep furniture between move-out and move-in? Here is how a move with a storage stop works.
Compliance
Licensed, Insured & COI-Ready
LIOO Moving operates as a licensed and insured mover. We carry the coverage many gated communities, HOAs, apartment managers, and commercial properties require. When your building needs a Certificate of Insurance (COI), simply provide the certificate holder details, and we'll send it directly to property management the same day.
Certificates of Insurance (COIs) are available upon request for apartments, condominiums, gated communities, HOAs, and commercial properties that require proof of coverage.
Where we move
Neighborhoods We Move In, and Where Moves Go Next
Our crews move households and offices across the city, including:

From the historic district around City Hall to the east-side neighborhoods by the city parks and the riverside stretches by Riverside Park, we cover the whole city. It also sits in the middle of a busy North Fulton relocation corridor: we regularly handle moves between here and Alpharetta and Milton to the north, and Sandy Springs to the south. Roswell moves are dispatched from our North Fulton office at 12600 Deerfield Pkwy, about 7 miles from City Hall in a straight line. We also serve nearby Johns Creek, Marietta across the river, and Dunwoody. For a full list of Fulton County areas, see our service areas.
Booking Process
How Booking Your Move Works
Tell us the addresses, the home size, and your date, and we'll confirm a crew and an arrival window. Book two to three weeks ahead for a month-end date, about a week for mid-month, and same-day by phone when the schedule has room. Month-end dates go first because of lease turnovers at the apartment communities, and demand peaks from late spring through summer; winter and mid-month dates are the easiest to get.
A couple of local scheduling notes: if your move touches the historic district, summer and fall event weekends close Canton Street and the blocks around the square, so we'll set an early start to load before the closures go up. And when a move runs between the west side and an address east of the river, we schedule around the Chattahoochee bridge crossings rather than fight them mid-day. On move day the crew protects floors and doorways, wraps furniture before it leaves the house, and confirms placement at the destination before the truck pulls off.
Move types
The Moves We Plan Most Often
These are the move types that come up most often around the city and the rest of North Fulton, and how each one is planned. They describe typical jobs, not specific customers.
Gated 4-bedroom home, Horseshoe Bend
Gated community check-in, long driveway carry, and a four-person crew with the required HOA certificate of insurance.
Apartment near Holcomb Bridge Road
The freight elevator and loading-zone window are reserved ahead, by us or by you depending on the building, so a third-floor unit moves out on schedule.
Historic-district bungalow
A narrow stairwell and limited street parking near Canton Street are handled by staging the truck off-street.
Office relocation to Marietta
Run after business hours to minimize downtime, including workstation breakdown, transport, and reassembly.
Martin's Landing family home
Full-service move across town with furniture disassembly, floor protection, and careful navigation through tight interior hallways.
Frequently Asked Questions
Roswell Moving Questions
What does a move here cost, and is the quote what I actually pay?
Expect $160 an hour for a two-mover crew with the truck, up to $320 for six, on a 2.5-hour minimum; a two-bedroom typically totals $700–$1,300 and a four-bedroom or larger $1,200–$2,400+. Pianos, gun safes and anything over 300 pounds carry a $100 specialty-item fee, quoted before you book. The rate is all-in — movers, truck, and equipment together — with no separate fuel surcharge and no flat stair fee, so the total moves only with real factors: added inventory, stairs, elevator time, or carry distance. We walk through those with you before you book. Every day carries the same hourly rate, which makes a weekday the cheapest choice: weekday bookings have the shorter 2.5-hour minimum, weekends three, except at addresses 25 or more road miles from downtown, where every day carries three. Tipping is never required and never appears on the invoice; if you want to tip, cash to each mover is the norm.
How many movers will my move need?
The team is sized to finish efficiently rather than stretch the hourly clock. A two-bedroom usually gets three movers; a four-bedroom, four to six. Because the clock is hourly, we also time arrivals and drives around GA-400 congestion so traffic doesn’t eat your hours.
I have a POD or rental truck — can you just load or unload it?
Yes. Labor-only crews load, unload, or rearrange when you supply the truck, trailer, or container, billed by the hour on the labor-only rates in the table, usually with two or three movers. It’s common for containers staged in driveways across North Fulton, and the crew packs the container tightly so nothing shifts in transit.
How do arrival and the truck work on move day?
You pick an arrival window when you book, and we confirm the team, truck and arrival time the day before; if a delay materially affects your arrival, dispatch contacts you with updated timing. Every full-service job is dispatched with an equipped truck — dollies, blankets, straps, and tools — so you’re not waiting on a crew that arrives without equipment.
How do I know my furniture won’t get scratched or broken?
Furniture is wrapped in blankets and shrink wrap before it leaves the house, and floors and tight doorways are protected on the carry out. LIOO Moving is a licensed Georgia Household Goods Carrier regulated by the Georgia Department of Public Safety; released valuation is included and is spelled out under the rate table. Beds, tables, and large case goods are taken apart and rebuilt so they travel safely, and the older homes with narrow stairwells and the long carries at gated estates are planned with that in mind. Pianos, safes, and anything over 300 pounds carry the specialty-item fee listed under the rate table. The truck can’t take firearms or ammunition, hazardous materials or perishable food; the moving preparation guide has the full list.
My building or HOA needs a certificate of insurance — can you provide it?
Yes. Send the certificate-holder details and we’ll issue the certificate the same day, naming your property manager or HOA — for apartment communities and for gated neighborhoods like Horseshoe Bend, Willow Springs, and the Country Club of Roswell. For the elevator or loading zone: if management allows the mover to reserve it, we do; if it only takes the booking from you, we work to your reserved time. Gate check-in is arranged ahead too, and long driveway carries get the team size they need.
Can you help with a parent who’s downsizing or moving into assisted living?
Yes. We coordinate arrival times and elevator access with assisted-living communities and work at a pace that fits sorting and giving-away decisions instead of rushing. Furniture is taken apart and rebuilt at the new place so it’s set up, not stacked at the door. These moves often put decades of belongings into a smaller space, so we plan the team and the time around that.
Can you move me on short notice or the same day?
Often, yes — it depends on which crews are free that day, and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it and what the arrival window looks like. Anything within 72 hours is booked by phone with the office. Same-day requests are common here after another company cancels or a closing date shifts.
