“Great communication from this company, all charges explained upfront. Very easy to work with. The guys did a great job.”

Wade Bishop here, owner of Roy Bishop House Movers. Around Henry County, moving dates like to wander. A closing slides two weeks; a new build out in Locust Grove runs behind; a Riverdale lease ends before the next unit is livable; a Hartsfield-Jackson relocation start date jumps on you. For years we’ve saved families the hassle of renting their own unit and trucking a load across town just to bridge that stretch — that’s been part of the job since 2012.
A single crew, both ends of the wait
Our movers empty the old address, warehouse everything in our care, then redeliver it once the new door swings open — one fleet, the same crew you met on day one. Every pickup and drop date lands on DeAndre Colquitt’s board the instant it’s booked, so nothing drifts while your cartons sit stacked in our building.
| Crew | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Two movers plus truck | $139/hr | Smaller homes, loading in and out |
| Three movers plus truck | $189/hr | Larger homes, faster turnaround |
What a storage bridge runs
| Situation | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| One-bedroom, held about a month | $300 – $415 plus storage |
| Three-bedroom, held about a month | $625 – $860 plus storage |
| Bridging a 2-6 week lease gap | By home size |
| Waiting out a slipped closing | By home size |
| Redelivery to the new door | Standard hourly |
Around here, most storage bridges trace back to a handful of situations:
- A Locust Grove or Hampton builder hands over keys after your move-out day
- Your buyer drags the paperwork out an extra week or two
- A Riverdale or Morrow lease lapses before the next place is ready
- A Hartsfield relocation date shifts while your old lease is already up
The whole thing arrives as one quote — no cross-checking a moving charge against a storage statement that shows up on its own separate date. That same per-shipment protection, as high as $1,000,000, stays switched on for each day your belongings live inside our building.
Why South Metro families lean on it
Two things push this locally. New construction across McDonough, Hampton, and Locust Grove keeps nudging closing dates, and plenty of families have parked an entire home with us for the two weeks a builder still needed. And Hartsfield-Jackson sits right up the road — a job start date moves, the old lease is already gone, and we hold everything until the new place is ready.
Loading out and back on your own schedule
A delay pays no attention to office hours, so both the load-in and the load-out run evenings and weekends at the standard rate — never an overtime charge. If a rare winter ice storm threatens your delivery day, DeAndre makes the reschedule call himself. Want everything boxed before it reaches our building? Have our full-service packing crew wrap it up before pickup. Once the new keys are in your hand, local moving runs the cross-town stretch while long-distance moving carries it out of state.
