Local movers in Alpharetta charge by the hour. A standard two-person crew runs $90 to $120 per hour, while larger three- to four-person crews range from $150 to $200 or more. Total cost depends mostly on home size: a studio or one-bedroom move typically costs $400 to $800, a two- to three-bedroom home runs $900 to $1,800, and a four-bedroom-plus house can reach $2,000 to $3,500 or higher.

Most local companies add a travel fee, often one to two hours of extra labor, to cover the drive to and from your home. Ask upfront whether that's a flat charge or double drive time. If your building has a long walk from the door to the truck or multiple flights of stairs, expect an added long-carry or stair surcharge, so mention your layout when you book.

Basic mover liability only covers $0.60 per pound per item, so a broken 30-pound television nets about $18 in compensation. If you own high-value electronics or furniture, ask about full-value protection or check your renters or homeowners policy. Booking mid-week and mid-month, rather than weekends or the May-to-September peak season, can also lower your hourly rate.

Households arriving from another state report $93,837 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Georgia report $79,987. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Fulton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
