You’re not worried about whether your grandmother’s china will survive the trip. You’re not spending three weekends trying to figure out how to wrap a lamp. You’re not buying boxes from five different stores or wondering if you used enough tape.
When packing is handled by people who know what they’re doing, your belongings arrive intact. Boxes are labeled clearly so you know exactly where everything is when you get to the new place. Fragile items are wrapped with the right materials and packed with enough cushioning that they don’t shift during transport.
You get hours back in your day. The kitchen gets packed in a morning instead of taking up your entire weekend. Closets, offices, storage areas—all of it handled while you focus on the dozen other things that come with moving. And when it’s time to unpack, everything makes sense because it was organized from the start.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business that’s been serving Ridge and the surrounding Long Island communities since 2009. We’re licensed, insured, and we handle residential and commercial packing services for people who need it done right.
Ridge has one of the highest homeownership rates in Suffolk County at 89.3%, and a lot of those homes have been lived in for years. That means accumulated belongings, valuable items, and things that can’t just be tossed in a box. We understand what’s at stake when you’re moving a household that’s been established for decades.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for people who show up on time, use quality materials, and know the difference between packing a dish and packing a flat-screen TV. Our team has seen what happens when packing gets rushed or done with the wrong supplies, and we don’t let that happen to your belongings.
It starts with a conversation. You tell us what needs to be packed—whether that’s your entire home, just the kitchen and fragile items, or specific rooms you don’t have time to handle. We can pack everything or work alongside you if you prefer to handle some items yourself.
We bring all the supplies. That includes boxes in multiple sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and specialty materials for things like mirrors, artwork, and electronics. You’re not making runs to the store or guessing whether you have enough of anything.
Our team works room by room. Fragile items get wrapped individually and packed with cushioning so they don’t move during transport. Heavier items go in smaller boxes so they’re manageable. Everything gets labeled with the room it came from and a general description of contents so unpacking isn’t a guessing game.
If you’re also using our moving services in Ridge, NY, we coordinate packing and transport so there’s no gap between when things get packed and when they get loaded. If you’re handling the move separately, we finish packing on your timeline and leave everything ready to go.
Ready to get started?
You get a trained crew that knows how to pack efficiently without cutting corners. We handle everything from standard household items to the things that make people nervous—glassware, electronics, artwork, antiques, and anything else that needs extra care.
All packing materials are included in the service. We use new boxes, not used ones that might be weakened or dirty. Packing paper is clean and abundant. Bubble wrap goes on anything that could break. Specialty boxes are available for wardrobes, dishes, and flat-screen TVs.
In Ridge, where the median home value sits at $404,900 and many residents are longtime homeowners, we often work with households that have accumulated decades of belongings. That includes items with sentimental value that can’t be replaced and expensive items that need proper protection. We treat your belongings like they’re our own because we know what’s at stake.
Commercial packing in Ridge, NY is also available for businesses that are relocating. Office equipment, files, inventory, and specialized items all get packed with the same level of care. We work around your business hours when possible so operations aren’t disrupted more than necessary.
Pricing depends on how much needs to be packed and how long it takes. A small apartment might take a few hours with a two-person crew. A full house with multiple bedrooms, a garage, and an attic takes longer and requires more materials.
We charge for labor and materials. Labor is based on the time it takes our crew to pack everything. Materials include all the boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, and specialty packing supplies needed for the job. We don’t charge for materials you don’t use.
The best way to get an accurate price is to tell us what you’re working with. How many rooms? Any particularly fragile or bulky items? Do you need everything packed or just certain areas? We can give you an estimate based on that information and adjust if needed once we see the scope in person.
It helps if you’re available at the start so we can go over any special instructions—items you want packed a certain way, things that shouldn’t be packed, or rooms we should prioritize. After that, you don’t need to hover.
Some people prefer to stay and work in another part of the house. Others have jobs or errands to run and leave us to it. As long as we have access to the areas that need packing and know how to reach you if questions come up, we’re fine working independently.
If you’re not comfortable with that, you’re welcome to stay the entire time. We’re used to working with people around and won’t be bothered either way. The goal is to make this as convenient for you as possible, so we adapt to whatever works for your schedule and comfort level.
If you’re moving during peak season—late spring through early summer—book as early as you can. Two to three weeks of advance notice is ideal. That gives us time to fit you into the schedule and make sure we have the crew and materials ready.
If you’re moving during the off-season or it’s a smaller job, we can often accommodate shorter notice. We’ve handled same-day packing requests when someone’s timeline suddenly changed or they realized they didn’t have time to finish packing themselves.
The reality is that 8% of Ridge residents moved within the past year, so there’s consistent demand for moving services Long Island. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility you have with scheduling. But if you’re in a bind and need help quickly, call us anyway. We’ll do what we can to make it work.
We’re licensed and insured specifically for situations like that. If something gets damaged because of how we packed it, our insurance covers it. That’s part of why you’re hiring professionals instead of doing it yourself or asking friends to help.
Proper packing dramatically reduces the chance of damage. Items are wrapped correctly, boxes aren’t overpacked, and fragile items are cushioned so they don’t shift. We’ve been doing this for 15 years and we know what works.
That said, we’re realistic. If you tell us something is extremely valuable or irreplaceable, we’ll take extra precautions, but we’ll also be honest if we think you should transport it yourself. Some items—important documents, jewelry, family heirlooms—are better off in your personal vehicle where you have direct control. We’ll pack anything you want us to, but we’ll also give you our professional opinion on what makes sense.
Absolutely. A lot of people pack their clothes, books, and everyday items themselves and hire us to handle the kitchen, fragile items, or anything that requires special care. That’s a common way to keep costs down while still getting professional help where it matters most.
You can also hire us to pack specific rooms. Maybe you’re fine handling the bedrooms but the garage is overwhelming. Or you’ve got a home office with electronics and files that you’d rather have someone else deal with. We’ll pack whatever you need and leave the rest to you.
There’s no minimum. If you only need help with packing services for a few items or one room, we’ll do it. The pricing adjusts based on the scope of work, so you’re only paying for what you actually need. Safe packing services don’t have to mean packing everything—just the things you want handled professionally.
We can supply boxes and packing materials if you want to handle the packing on your own. You’d pay for the materials, and we’d deliver them to you. That way you’re working with quality supplies instead of hunting down used boxes or buying random sizes from a hardware store.
If you start packing yourself and realize it’s taking longer than expected or you’re not comfortable with how things are turning out, you can call us to finish the job. We’ve had plenty of people start the process and then bring us in halfway through because they either ran out of time or didn’t want to deal with the more complicated items.
The other option is to pack what you can and schedule us to come in and handle the rest. You’re not locked into one approach. The goal is to get everything packed safely and efficiently, and we’re flexible about how that happens based on your timeline, budget, and comfort level with doing it yourself.
