You’re not looking for a moving company that talks a good game. You need one that shows up on time, handles your stuff like it matters, and doesn’t hit you with mystery fees at the end.
That’s where most moving experiences fall apart. The estimate changes. The crew’s late. Something breaks. You’re left wondering why you didn’t just do it yourself.
Here’s what actually happens when the move goes right: You get your time back. You’re not spending your weekend hauling furniture or worrying about whether your couch will fit through the door. You’re not nursing a sore back for three days afterward. The truck shows up when it’s supposed to. Your belongings arrive intact. The price you were quoted is the price you pay. You unpack in your new place without the usual disaster stories to tell later.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned operation serving Brookhaven and the surrounding Long Island area. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve handled enough moves across Suffolk County to know the difference between a smooth job and a mess waiting to happen.
Brookhaven’s unique—it’s the only town on Long Island that stretches from the North Shore to the South Shore. That means we’re moving families out of Stony Brook waterfront homes, helping seniors downsize in Patchogue, and handling commercial relocations in Port Jefferson. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the logistical quirks that come with each one.
You’ll work with a local crew that understands what you’re dealing with, not a call center three states away.
First, you reach out—phone, email, whatever works. We’ll ask about your timeline, what you’re moving, and where it’s going. If you need same-day service, we’ll tell you straight up if we can make it happen.
Next, we give you a clear estimate. No vague ranges or “we’ll see when we get there” nonsense. You’ll know what you’re paying before anyone shows up at your door.
On moving day, the crew arrives with the right equipment—dollies, straps, blankets, the works. We load everything carefully, secure it properly, and transport it to your new location. If you’re moving locally within Brookhaven or heading out of state, the process is the same: methodical, efficient, and respectful of your property.
Once we arrive, we unload and place items where you want them. If something needs to go into storage temporarily, we handle that too. When the job’s done, you’re settled in—not scrambling to figure out what got damaged or lost along the way.
Ready to get started?
You’re hiring movers in Brookhaven, NY, but you might also need more than just transport. We offer full packing services if you don’t have the time or materials to do it yourself. We bring the boxes, the tape, the padding—and we pack it right so nothing shifts or breaks in transit.
Storage comes up more often than people expect. Maybe your closing date got pushed back. Maybe you’re downsizing and need time to sort through decades of belongings. We have secure storage options for short-term and long-term needs, so your stuff isn’t sitting in a truck or crammed into a friend’s garage.
A lot of long-distance moving companies in Brookhaven outsource to third parties. We don’t. Whether you’re moving to Pennsylvania or staying within Suffolk County, you’re working with the same crew from start to finish. That consistency matters when you’re trusting strangers with everything you own.
And if you’re clearing out junk during the move—old furniture, appliances, yard waste—we handle that too. One call, one company, one less thing to coordinate. Brookhaven’s real estate market moves fast, with homes averaging 92 days on the market. When you’re on a tight timeline, bundling services saves you days of back-and-forth.
For local moves within Brookhaven, you’re generally looking at an hourly rate between $97 and $145, depending on crew size and complexity. A one-bedroom apartment usually runs around $3,600 all-in, while a three-bedroom home averages closer to $5,100.
Those numbers shift based on a few factors: how much stuff you have, whether you need packing services, if there are stairs or tight hallways, and how far apart the two locations are. A move from Patchogue to Port Jefferson takes less time than a move from Stony Brook to Shirley.
We give you a clear estimate upfront so you’re not guessing. If the scope changes—say, you forgot about the storage unit or there’s more furniture than you mentioned—we’ll talk through it before adding anything to the bill. No surprises at the end.
Yes, if we have availability. Same-day requests come up more than you’d think—someone’s lease ends early, a closing happens faster than expected, or another moving company cancels last minute.
We can’t always make it work, especially during peak season (late spring through early fall), but we’ll tell you immediately if we can fit you in. Most same-day moves happen because we keep a flexible schedule and don’t overbook.
If you’re in a bind, call as early in the day as possible. The sooner we know, the better chance we have of getting a crew to you. We’ve handled plenty of last-minute moves across Brookhaven, and we know how to move fast without cutting corners.
Storage works one of two ways: short-term during a transition, or long-term if you’re downsizing or staging a home for sale. We have secure warehouse space where your belongings stay until you’re ready for them.
Short-term storage is common when closing dates don’t line up. You’re out of your old place but can’t get into the new one yet. We move your stuff into storage, then deliver it when you’re ready—no need to coordinate with two different companies.
Long-term storage makes sense if you’re clearing out a home in Brookhaven but don’t want to get rid of everything right away. Maybe you’re moving into a smaller place in Patchogue or heading out of state and need time to decide what stays and what goes. We’ll work with you on timing and access so you’re not locked into something rigid.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured to operate throughout Suffolk County, including Brookhaven. That’s not just a checkbox—it means if something goes wrong, you’re covered.
A lot of people don’t think about insurance until it’s too late. If a mover isn’t properly insured and they damage your property or get hurt on the job, you could be on the hook. We carry liability coverage and workers’ comp so you’re protected from start to finish.
You can ask to see proof of insurance before we start. We’re happy to provide it. If a moving company hesitates or dodges that question, that’s a red flag. You’re trusting them with your home and your belongings—make sure they’re legit.
Absolutely. A lot of people are moving out of New York entirely—about 69% of moves are interstate rather than local. We handle both.
A lot of long-distance moving companies in Brookhaven subcontract the actual move to another crew, which means you’re dealing with strangers halfway through the process. We don’t do that. The same team that loads your truck in Brookhaven is the one that unloads it in your new state.
We’ve moved families to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida—pretty much anywhere along the East Coast. The process is similar to a local move, just with more planning. We’ll coordinate timing, handle any storage needs on either end, and keep you updated throughout. If you’re leaving Long Island, you want someone who’s done it before and knows how to make it smooth.
The more you can do ahead of time, the faster the move goes. If you’re packing yourself, have everything boxed and labeled before we arrive. If we’re packing for you, just make sure we have clear access to each room.
Clear a path from the door to the truck—move cars, bikes, anything that’s in the way. If you’re in an apartment or condo, let the building know we’re coming so we can reserve the elevator or loading area. Brookhaven has a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit buildings, and the logistics are different for each.
If you have items that need special handling—antiques, pianos, safes—point those out upfront. We have the equipment to move them safely, but it helps to know in advance. And if you’re moving during summer, have water available. It’s a small thing, but it makes a long day easier for everyone.
