If you've never used a professional moving company before — or if you've had a bad experience and want to do it better this time — this guide is a good place to start. Our Atlanta metro team put together answers to the questions people ask most, so you can walk into your next move knowing what to expect from start to finish.
Questions Our Customers Often Ask
1. How much do local movers cost in Lawrenceville?
Most local moves run somewhere between $300 and $1,500. The price depends on the size of your home, the number of movers your job requires, and the total time. Ask for a free estimate from TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Lawrenceville, and you'll have a clear number before anything is finalized.
2. Does the travel time to my home get charged?
Yes. Like other professional movers, we charge a travel fee to cover the time our crew spends driving to your home and back. We disclose this in your estimate before you ever sign anything — it's not a surprise fee.
3. Is it cheaper to move in the middle of the week?
Mid-week and mid-month moves often come with better availability, since weekends and end-of-month dates are the most in demand. We always recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance so you have real options to choose from.
4. How far in advance do I need to contact movers?
A 2–4 week window works well for most moves. High-demand periods like late spring, summer, and the month's end tend to fill up earliest. If your move is coming up fast, contact our team — last-minute availability varies, and we'll be straight with you about what we have.
5. What does a standard move with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK actually include?
A standard move includes two trained movers, a truck, and all protective materials — furniture pads, stretch wrap, dollies, and more. We load your belongings, transport them, and unload at your new home, positioning things in the rooms you've designated.
6. Can TWO MEN AND A TRUCK take care of my packing?
Yes — packing is one of our most popular add-ons. Our crew uses quality materials and knows how to protect everything from everyday items to things that are fragile or irreplaceable. You can add packing to your move or schedule it as a standalone service.
7. Can I order moving boxes from Two Men and a Truck?
Yes. We supply standard boxes, specialty boxes for dishes and wardrobes, packing paper, tape, and bubble wrap. Mention it during your estimate, and we'll make sure you have the right materials ready before moving day.
8. Are heavy specialty items like pianos within your scope?
They are. Pianos, safes, antiques, and unusually heavy or large pieces are part of what we do. The key is letting us know ahead of time — that way, we show up with the right tools and the right number of people.
9. What happens to my moving reservation if my plans change at the last minute?
Call your team as soon as you know. We have a flexible rescheduling process and will work to find a new date that fits your situation. We recommend reviewing the rescheduling terms at the time of booking so you know the details going in.
10. What do your movers do to keep my home from getting scratched or scuffed?
Standard practice on every move: floor runners, door frame protectors, furniture pads, and stretch wrap. Our crews are trained to be careful and deliberate. We hold ourselves to THE GRANDMA RULE® — the same standard of care we'd bring to moving our own family's belongings.
11. What's covered if something gets damaged during my move?
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK is licensed and insured in Georgia, and a damage claims process exists if anything goes wrong. Before your move, we also offer multiple valuation and protection options — your Lawrenceville-based move coordinator will walk you through what's available and help you choose what makes sense for your situation.
12. My new home won't be ready for two weeks — what do I do with my stuff?
We offer short-term storage to cover the gap. Our facility is climate-controlled and secure. This type of storage is classified as Storage-In-Transit (S-I-T), meaning it's structured for temporary needs between moves. Ask about current availability when you book your move.
