Moving into metro Atlanta
- Traffic: plan arrival times around rush hour on I-75, I-85 and I-285. Your crew's time is part of your cost.
- HOA and apartment rules: many suburbs such as Alpharetta, Marietta, Johns Creek and Peachtree City have HOAs with move-hour rules. Apartments often require elevator or loading-dock reservations and a certificate of insurance.
- Hills and driveways: north Georgia lots can be steep. Mention long or sloped driveways when requesting your quote.
Moving to coastal Georgia
Savannah, Brunswick and the Golden Isles share Florida's hurricane season. Historic downtown Savannah homes can have narrow streets and stairs, so a smaller truck or extra crew time may be needed. Our hurricane-season checklist applies here too.
