Hiring movers for the first time — or even just the first time in a new city — brings up a lot of questions. How much does this cost? What do they actually include? What happens if something breaks? If you're planning a move in Stockbridge and want to go in informed, this guide is for you. We've answered the questions our customers ask most, so you can focus on what actually matters: getting settled in your new home.
Our often-asked questions
1. What's the going rate to hire movers in Stockbridge?
In Stockbridge, local moving costs typically range from $300 to $1,500. The final number comes down to the size of your home, how many movers are needed, and how many hours the job takes. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® offers free estimates so you know your price before the truck pulls up.
2. Do movers charge for the drive to my house?
Yes — a travel fee is standard across professional moving companies in Stockbridge, and we're no different. It covers the time it takes our crew to get from our location to yours and back. You'll see this fee clearly in your estimate, not buried at the bottom of an invoice.
3. Does moving on a weekend cost more?
Weekend and month-end moves are the most in-demand, and availability can be tighter during those windows. A mid-week or mid-month move may offer more flexibility. Booking 2–4 weeks in advance — whenever you move — helps you get your first-choice date.
4. How far out should I schedule my move?
Two to four weeks is the sweet spot for most Atlanta moves. During spring and summer, and at the start or end of any month, things fill up faster. Got a last-minute situation? Give our team a call — we'll see what we can do.
5. What's included in a standard TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® move?
You get a two-person professional crew, a moving truck, and all the necessary equipment — including furniture pads, stretch wrap, and dollies. We handle loading at your current home, the drive, and unloading at your new home, placing items in the rooms you designate.
6. Do I have to pack everything myself, or can your team do it?
You don't have to do it yourself. Our team offers professional packing and unpacking using the right materials for each item — from everyday kitchenware to fragile keepsakes. Add it to your move or book it as a standalone service.
7. Does TWO MEN AND A TRUCK supply moving boxes?
Yes. We carry boxes in various sizes along with packing paper, tape, bubble wrap, and specialty options like dish boxes, mirror boxes, and wardrobe boxes. Ask about supplies when you request your estimate, and we'll make sure you're covered.
8. Can you move something like a grand piano or an 800-pound safe?
Yes. Our team is trained for specialty items — pianos, heavy safes, antiques, and oversized furniture. Just flag these items when you book so we can bring the right equipment and, if needed, an extra crew member.
9. My move date might change — what's your policy on that?
We're flexible. If your closing shifts or your timeline changes, call your team as soon as you know. We'll work to reschedule you to the next available date. Review the rescheduling terms when you book so there are no surprises if plans change.
10. How do Two Men and a Truck movers protect my home?
Protection is built into our process. Every crew arrives with floor runners, door frame protectors, furniture pads, and stretch wrap. We call it the Grandma Rule — we treat your home exactly the way we'd treat our grandmother's.
11. What do I do if something is damaged during my move?
We're fully licensed and insured in Georgia, and we have a structured claims process to handle any damage that occurs. Before your move, ask your local coordinator about our valuation and protection options — it's worth understanding what coverage is available to you.
12. I need temporary storage while waiting on my home to close — can you help?
Yes. We offer short-term storage for customers who need a safe place for their belongings while they're between homes. Our storage is secure and climate-controlled. It operates as Storage-In-Transit (S-I-T) and is built for temporary situations. Ask about options when you book.
