Hear from Our Customers
Your belongings arrive intact. Your timeline stays on track. Your back doesn’t give out halfway through packing boxes you didn’t know you’d need.
That’s what happens when you work with movers who’ve handled everything from studio apartments to waterfront homes across Babylon and Long Island. You get accurate pricing upfront, not after the truck’s loaded. You get movers who know how to navigate tight staircases and protect hardwood floors. You get the kind of move where you’re not calling friends at the last minute because something went wrong.
The difference shows up in the details. Furniture gets disassembled properly and reassembled at the new place. Boxes are labeled so you actually know what’s inside. Fragile items are packed with materials that work, not whatever was cheapest. And if you’ve got specialty items like pool tables, safes, or that upright piano you inherited, those get handled by people who’ve moved hundreds of them.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. has spent over three years moving families and businesses throughout Babylon, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. We’re fully licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong.
We know Babylon’s housing market. We know homes here average $715,000 and take about 85 days to sell. We know the waterfront properties have their own challenges, and we know which buildings downtown have freight elevators and which don’t.
That local knowledge means fewer surprises on moving day. It means realistic timelines and quotes that actually hold up. It means you’re working with a local moving company that understands what you’re dealing with, not a national chain reading from a script.
First, you get a quote. We look at what you’re moving, where it’s going, and what timeline you’re working with. The price we give you is the price you pay. No hidden fees show up later.
Before moving day, we can handle packing if you want. That includes bringing the right materials, disassembling furniture that needs it, and labeling everything so unpacking doesn’t turn into a scavenger hunt. Or if you’d rather pack yourself, that works too.
On moving day, the crew shows up on time with the right equipment. They protect your floors, wrap your furniture, and load the truck in a way that keeps everything secure during transport. Specialty items get the extra attention they need. Heavy safes, delicate antiques, awkward pool tables—we’ve got the equipment and experience to handle them properly.
At your new place, everything gets unloaded where you want it. Furniture gets reassembled. Boxes go in the right rooms. You’re not left with a pile of stuff in the garage and a crew that disappeared the second the truck was empty.
Ready to get started?
You get local and long-distance moving services. Whether you’re moving across Babylon or across state lines, the same care applies. You also get junk removal if you need it—we’ve diverted over 3 million pounds from landfills through donation and recycling, so you’re not just tossing everything.
Professional packing services are available. That means commercial-grade materials, not flimsy boxes from the liquor store. It means proper wrapping for dishes, padding for furniture, and crating for anything that needs extra protection. It also means detailed labeling so you’re not opening 30 boxes to find your coffee maker.
The full service moving company approach covers furniture disassembly and reassembly. Bed frames, dining tables, entertainment centers—anything that needs to come apart to fit through doors gets handled correctly. You’re not stuck with an Allen wrench and a pile of hardware at 9 PM.
For Babylon specifically, this matters because of the housing mix here. You’ve got everything from older homes with narrow doorways to modern builds with open layouts. You’ve got waterfront properties where access is tight and downtown apartments with parking restrictions. An affordable moving company that actually knows the area saves you time and headaches you didn’t know were coming.
Most local moves in Babylon run between $1,100 and $5,200 depending on the size of your home and how much you’re moving. The average sits around $2,500. Long-distance moves cost more, obviously, but the same factors apply—volume, distance, and what services you need.
Here’s what affects your final price: the number of rooms, whether you need packing services, if you’ve got specialty items like pianos or safes, and how accessible both locations are. A third-floor walkup costs more than a house with a driveway. A move that requires navigating Babylon’s narrower streets or waterfront areas might take longer than a straightforward suburban move.
We give you accurate pricing upfront. That means we look at what you’re actually moving, not a generic estimate based on square footage. You’ll know what you’re paying before we show up, and that number doesn’t change unless you add services or items we didn’t know about.
No. You can pack yourself if you want to save money, or we can handle it for you. Most people do a mix—they pack personal items and clothes themselves, then have us handle kitchens, fragile items, and anything that needs special materials.
If you’re packing yourself, start earlier than you think you need to. Most people underestimate how long it takes and how many boxes they’ll need. Use sturdy boxes, not garbage bags. Label everything with the room and a general description of contents. Wrap dishes and glassware individually, and don’t overpack boxes—30 pounds is about the limit before they become impossible to carry safely.
If we’re packing for you, we bring all the materials and handle everything from wrapping to labeling. We’ll disassemble furniture that needs it, protect mattresses and upholstered items, and crate anything fragile. The cost is higher, but you’re buying back your time and reducing the risk of damage from improper packing.
Book at least two to four weeks out if you can, especially if you’re moving between May and August. That’s peak season, and good movers fill up fast. If you’re moving at the end of the month, book even earlier—everyone’s lease ends on the same day, and availability gets tight.
That said, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves if you’re in a bind. Last-minute situations happen—closing dates change, leases fall through, job relocations come up suddenly. We keep some flexibility in the schedule for exactly those situations.
The earlier you book, the more control you have over timing. You get your preferred date, you can schedule a walkthrough for a more accurate quote, and you have time to handle all the other moving tasks without rushing. But if you’re reading this the day before you need to move, call anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured. That matters because moving involves risk—to your belongings, to the property, and to the people doing the work. If something goes wrong with an unlicensed, uninsured mover, you’re stuck with the bill and no recourse.
Licensing means we meet state requirements for operating a moving company. It means there’s accountability and a paper trail if issues come up. Insurance means if something gets damaged or someone gets hurt, there’s coverage. Your homeowner’s insurance typically doesn’t cover damage caused by movers, so the moving company’s insurance is what protects you.
Customer complaints about moving companies rose 250% in 2021, mostly involving unlicensed operators who disappeared after taking deposits or held belongings hostage for extra fees. Working with a licensed and insured moving company isn’t just about quality—it’s about protection. You’re trusting someone with everything you own. That trust should be backed by more than a handshake.
Yes. We have the equipment and experience to handle pianos, pool tables, heavy safes, large TVs, antiques, and oversized furniture. These items can’t just be picked up and carried—they require specific techniques, proper equipment, and people who’ve done it before.
Pianos are particularly tricky. An upright piano weighs 300 to 500 pounds, and a grand piano can hit 1,200 pounds. They’re also delicate instruments that can be damaged by improper handling. We use piano boards, straps, and padding designed specifically for piano moving. Same with pool tables—they need to be disassembled, the slate protected, and everything reassembled and leveled at the new location.
Safes are all about weight and balance. A gun safe can weigh 1,000 pounds or more, and moving it down stairs or through tight spaces requires equipment like dollies rated for the weight and sometimes even rigging systems. We’ve moved hundreds of these items across Babylon and Long Island. If you’ve got something that makes you nervous just thinking about moving it, that’s exactly what we’re here for.
If something gets damaged, you file a claim with us, and our insurance handles it. That’s the straightforward answer. The more detailed answer is that we do everything possible to prevent damage in the first place—proper packing, careful loading, secure transport, and experienced handling.
But accidents happen. A box gets dropped, a piece of furniture gets scratched, something breaks despite proper packing. When that happens, document it immediately. Take photos, note what was damaged, and let us know before the crew leaves if possible. The claims process is easier when damage is reported right away.
Our insurance covers different levels depending on what you choose. Basic coverage is included and covers a set amount per pound of damaged items. Full value protection costs more but covers the actual replacement value or repair cost. We’ll walk you through the options when you book so you understand what you’re covered for. The goal is that nothing gets damaged. But if it does, you’re not left holding the bag.
