“They moved our furniture front a house to an apartment. On time courteous,friendly. Did a better job wrapping and protecting our furniture than we expected, careful with every piece. Very reasonable price. Highly recommend.”
Wade Bishop here, running the crews at Roy Bishop House Movers. Apartment jobs bring their own snags — a McDonough complex that wants the truck clear of the fire lane by a fixed hour, a Riverdale walk-up with three flights and no elevator, a leasing office that won’t wave movers past the desk without paperwork. We’ve been working our way through these buildings since 2012.
Flights, landings, and where the truck sits
Older buildings near downtown Stockbridge stack skinny flights over cramped landings; newer complexes toward McDonough hand you a dumpster corral where a loading dock ought to be. Colby Whatley climbs the stairwell during the quote, so the flights and the haul from the curb are figured into the price before move-day rather than sprung on you.
| Crew | Rate | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Two movers plus truck | $139/hr | Studios and single-bedrooms |
| Three movers plus truck | $189/hr | Two-bedrooms and larger, upper-floor walk-ups |
Flat pricing by unit
| Unit | Flat rate |

| 2BR, upper floor, Riverdale or McDonough | $745 – $1,005 |
| Unit with a timed or shared loading zone | $585 – $815 |
| Certificate of insurance for management | Free |
Every apartment job comes with blankets, dollies, and shrink-wrap, plus cargo coverage that climbs to $1,000,000 per shipment. If a building demands a certificate of insurance, Renata forwards it to your leasing office at no cost.
Building rules we settle in advance
A downtown Stockbridge walk-up means stairs with no elevator, while the McDonough and Riverdale complexes tend to limit how long a truck may hold the fire lane. DeAndre Colquitt keeps the apartment board and will tell you outright which properties want a COI and which tighten your loading window. Ahead of your date, he’ll have locked down:
- A free certificate of insurance made out to your property management
- The loading spot, fire lane, or corral the complex genuinely allows
- Whatever cap the building sets on how long the truck can sit
- The flight and landing tally so the crew shows up with the right gear
Pollen-season carries and level weekend pricing
A spring load-out means carrying through a haze of yellow Georgia pollen, so the crew wraps sofas and mattresses from the unit door to the truck to keep it off your things. Lease turnovers stack up on Fridays and Saturdays, yet those weekend bookings still bill at the ordinary weekday rate. Not boxed yet? Let our full-service packing team box it for you. Between leases?
