Emory Highlands sits right next to one of Atlanta's most prestigious universities, which means we deal with a mix of faculty homes, student apartments, and young professionals who picked this area because they're smart enough to know a good neighborhood when they see one. The homes here range from 1920s bungalows to modern townhouses, and each one presents its own moving challenges.
We've been handling moves in this area since 2009, and we know that finding reliable movers here is just like finding the best movers anywhere else - you need people who show up, work hard, and don't treat your stuff like garbage. Most families here are either connected to Emory University or chose this location for the schools and the quick commute to downtown.
University neighborhoods keep us busy year-round, but the families moving here permanently are different from the students who come and go every semester. Wirks Moving & Storage treats every move like it matters because we know the difference between helping someone haul dorm furniture and moving a family into their forever home.
We've relocated professors who own more books than most people own clothes, young families who saved for years to afford a house in this school district, and empty nesters who downsized from bigger homes in the suburbs. Each move teaches us something new about working in this area, from the best times to avoid university traffic to which streets actually fit our trucks.
We pack your books without making them too heavy, wrap your furniture so it doesn't get scratched, and move your electronics without breaking them. Your grandmother's china gets the same careful attention as your flat-screen TV because we know they both matter to you for different reasons. If you're moving a home office, we'll pack your computer setup and reassemble it exactly how you had it.
Need storage between your old lease ending and your new mortgage closing? We've got warehouse space that's clean and secure. We also handle those awkward items like exercise equipment and outdoor furniture that don't fit in standard boxes.
Results speak louder than promises. We've completed over 20,000 moves with a 98% customer referral rate, which means people trust us enough to recommend us to their friends and family. Our 2,700+ Google reviews come from real customers who took time to write about their experience because we made moving day less awful than they expected.
We're licensed, insured, and we've been doing this long enough to know what goes wrong and how to prevent it. When you hire us, you're getting a team that shows up prepared, works efficiently, and cleans up after themselves.
We don't cut corners because your stuff is expensive and your time is valuable. Our crew gets proper training on lifting techniques, equipment use, and how to protect your property during the move. We maintain all required licenses and carry insurance that actually covers your belongings if something gets damaged.
Our trucks receive regular maintenance because breaking down with your entire household loaded in the back isn't acceptable. We follow industry standards and hold Better Business Bureau A+ rating because we believe in accountability and doing the job right the first time.
Emory Highlands benefits from its connection to Emory University while maintaining the feel of a close-knit residential community. The neighborhood attracts educated families who value good schools, walkable streets, and proximity to cultural amenities. Houses here hold their value because buyers recognize the combination of academic atmosphere, architectural variety, and convenient location.
The area offers easy access to the CDC, downtown Atlanta, and Decatur's restaurant scene while providing the quiet residential feel that families with children appreciate. Most residents here plan to stay long-term, which creates a stable community where neighbors know each other and property values remain strong.
