You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for the move that doesn’t turn into a nightmare halfway through.
That means movers who know how to navigate tight corners in Hi-Ranches without scraping walls. It means understanding that your half-acre property has specific access challenges other moving companies in North Great River might not anticipate. It means knowing which routes avoid LIE traffic during peak hours and which don’t.
A good move ends with everything intact, on schedule, and without the stress that comes from hiring someone who’s learning on your dime. You unpack in your new place without discovering damaged furniture or missing boxes. Your day goes according to plan because the crew showed up when they said they would and finished when they estimated.
That’s what separates a professional moving service from someone with a truck and good intentions.
All Terrain Moving is a family-owned moving company that’s been serving North Great River and the surrounding Long Island area for over 15 years. We’re not a franchise or a national chain that subcontracts your move to whoever’s available that day.
We know the neighborhoods here. We’ve moved families out of homes backing up to Connetquot River State Park Preserve, handled relocations for properties with horse barns, and navigated the specific logistics that come with North Great River’s residential layout.
We’re licensed (DOT# 3706838, MC# 1340650), insured, and bonded. We handle local moves within Long Island and long distance moving when you’re heading out of state. We also provide storage services and junk removal, so you’re not coordinating with three different companies to get one job done.
First, you get a free quote. We ask about your home size, what you’re moving, any specialty items like pianos or safes, and your timeline. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch pricing later.
On moving day, our crew shows up on time with the right equipment. We walk through your home, identify any potential challenges, and confirm the plan. Then we get to work—wrapping furniture, loading carefully, and treating your belongings like they’re not replaceable.
During transport, everything’s secured properly. We’re not throwing boxes around or stacking your grandmother’s dresser under your flat-screen TV. When we arrive at your new location, we unload, place items where you want them, and make sure you’re satisfied before we leave.
If you need storage between moves, we handle that too. Same with junk removal if you’re decluttering before or after the move. The goal is simple: make your move as straightforward as possible without you having to manage multiple contractors.
Ready to get started?
We handle residential moves—whether you’re staying local in North Great River or moving across state lines. That includes packing services if you don’t want to deal with boxing everything yourself, which most people with busy schedules appreciate.
For specialty items, we’ve got experience with pianos, gun safes, pool tables, and other pieces that require more than just muscle. North Great River homes often have valuable or awkward items that need proper handling, and we’ve moved enough of them to know what works.
Storage services are available if your timeline doesn’t line up perfectly—maybe your new place isn’t ready yet, or you’re downsizing and need somewhere to keep things temporarily. We also offer junk removal for items you don’t want to bring with you, which is common when families are transitioning between homes.
Same-day and emergency moving services are available when other companies cancel or your situation changes suddenly. We’ve accommodated plenty of last-minute moves because we understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. With over 21,000 Long Islanders moving out in 2024 and continued high turnover in the area, having a reliable moving company matters more than ever.
Local moves in North Great River typically run between $100-$200 per hour for a two-person crew, depending on the size of your home and how much you’re moving. A standard three-bedroom Hi-Ranch usually takes 4-6 hours, putting most local moves between $400-$1,200.
Long distance moving companies calculate differently—usually based on weight and mileage. For a move out of state, you’re looking at anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000+ depending on where you’re going and how much you’re taking.
The real cost comes from surprises: extra stops, items that weren’t mentioned during the quote, or access issues that slow everything down. That’s why we walk through everything upfront. We ask about stairs, narrow hallways, long driveways, and anything else that affects the job. You get an honest estimate based on what we’re actually dealing with, not a lowball number that doubles once we’re already there.
We do both. Some people want to pack everything themselves to save money, and that’s fine. Others would rather pay to have it done right and not spend two weeks wrapping dishes.
Our packing services include all materials—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper. We wrap fragile items properly, label boxes by room, and pack strategically so nothing shifts during transport. For most families, it’s worth it just to avoid the headache.
If you’re doing it yourself, pack a few days ahead and label clearly. Use small boxes for heavy items like books, and don’t overfill anything. We’ve seen too many DIY pack jobs where boxes split open mid-move because they were packed poorly. If you’re unsure, let us handle it. It’s faster, safer, and one less thing you have to think about during an already stressful process.
Yes. Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, hot tubs—we’ve moved all of them. These aren’t items you hand off to any moving service and hope for the best.
Pianos require specific equipment and technique. You can’t just tip them on a dolly and roll them out. Same with safes, which are awkward, extremely heavy, and easy to damage floors with if you don’t know what you’re doing. Pool tables need to be disassembled and reassembled correctly, or they won’t play level.
We’ve handled enough specialty moves in North Great River to know what’s required. If you’ve got something unusual or valuable, mention it during the quote. We’ll confirm we have the right equipment and crew for the job. The last thing you want is to hire local movers who show up and tell you they can’t move your $10,000 piano after all.
Two to four weeks is ideal, especially if you’re moving during peak season between May and August. Weekends and end-of-month dates fill up fast because that’s when most people move.
That said, we’ve accommodated same-day moves when other companies canceled or situations changed suddenly. If you’re in a bind, call us. We’ll do what we can to fit you in.
Off-peak moves—September through April—are easier to schedule on shorter notice and sometimes cost less because demand is lower. If you have flexibility, moving mid-week or mid-month usually works better for everyone. But if you need a specific date, book early. The longer you wait, the fewer options you’ll have, and you might end up settling for a moving company you’re not confident about just because they’re available.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded. Our DOT number is 3706838, and our MC number is 1340650 for interstate moves. That’s not just paperwork—it’s protection for you if something goes wrong.
Insurance matters because accidents happen. A reputable moving company carries liability coverage and workers’ comp. If someone gets hurt on your property or something gets damaged, you’re not left holding the bill.
Some moving companies operate without proper licensing, especially smaller operations or guys with a truck who do moves on the side. That’s a gamble. If they damage your home or belongings, you have no recourse. If someone gets injured, you could be liable. We’ve been doing this for over 15 years, and we do it the right way. You can verify our credentials, check our reviews, and move forward knowing you’re covered.
Yes. Storage services are available if there’s a gap between when you move out and when your new place is ready. This happens more often than people expect—closings get delayed, renovations run over, or you’re downsizing and need time to figure out what you’re keeping.
Our storage is secure and climate-controlled. You’re not leaving your belongings in some outdoor unit where temperature swings can warp furniture or create mold issues. Everything stays protected until you’re ready for delivery.
We can also handle partial storage if you’re moving some items immediately and storing others. For example, maybe you’re relocating out of state but keeping a few things on Long Island temporarily. We’ll work out a plan that makes sense for your situation. The key is flexibility—your move doesn’t have to fit a rigid timeline just because that’s easier for the moving company.
