Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if the truck will show up. You’re not scrambling to find someone to haul away the old couch or boxes of junk you don’t want at the new place. You’re not dealing with movers who treat your furniture like cargo.
Your belongings get loaded efficiently, secured properly, and unloaded where you need them. Heavy furniture moves without scratching floors. Fragile items arrive intact. Our crew knows how to navigate Copiague’s residential streets and tight driveways without turning a three-hour job into an all-day ordeal.
If you need junk removal, it happens in the same trip. One crew, one truck, one bill. You’re unpacking at your new place while we deal with the old mattress, broken appliances, and boxes you’ve been meaning to toss for years.
All Terrain Moving operates throughout Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. We’re based in Islandia and we’ve moved families in Copiague enough times to know which streets flood after heavy rain and which buildings have the tightest stairwells.
You’re hiring a local moving company that understands Long Island traffic patterns, knows when to avoid the Southern State, and doesn’t waste your hourly rate sitting in preventable delays. We handle moves ranging from studio apartments to 10,000 square foot homes, and we’ve seen enough moving disasters to know exactly how to avoid them.
Our crew shows up with the right truck size, proper equipment, and a clear plan. No surprises, no excuses.
You call or contact us with your moving details—where you’re moving from, where you’re going, what you’re bringing, and when you need it done. We give you transparent pricing based on the scope. For local moves in Copiague, that’s an hourly rate with no hidden fees.
On moving day, our crew arrives with a properly-sized truck and all the equipment needed: furniture pads, dollies, straps, and tools for disassembly and reassembly. They walk through your place, assess what’s moving and what’s getting tossed, then get to work.
Heavy items get handled first. Furniture gets wrapped and padded. Boxes get stacked strategically so nothing shifts during transport. If you’re combining moving services with junk removal, our crew separates what’s going to the new place from what’s heading to disposal.
At your new location, everything gets unloaded and placed where you want it. Beds get reassembled. You’re not left with a pile of furniture in the garage and a crew that disappeared. The job’s done when your space is functional, not when the truck is empty.

Every move includes a professional crew, the right-sized truck, and all standard equipment. That means furniture pads to protect your belongings, dollies for heavy items, straps to secure everything during transport, and tools for disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and other furniture that won’t fit through doorways intact.
We handle specialty items that other moving companies in Copiague often refuse or upcharge heavily for—pianos, pool tables, safes, and oversized furniture. If it fits in the truck and it’s physically possible to move, we move it.
For Copiague residents between homes or staging a property for sale, storage solutions are available. If you need help packing, we offer professional packing services that save you time and ensure fragile items actually survive the trip. Most importantly, if you’re dealing with an emergency—flooded basement, last-minute eviction, sudden closing date change—we offer same-day moving services throughout Suffolk County.
The local moving market in Copiague sees rates between $230 and $339 per hour for two movers and a truck. Our pricing is transparent and includes labor, vehicle, equipment, and fuel. What we quote is what you pay.
For local moves within Copiague and Suffolk County, most professional moving companies charge hourly rates. You’re typically looking at $230 to $339 per hour for two movers and a truck, though that varies based on the company and what’s included.
That hourly rate should cover labor, the truck, basic equipment like dollies and furniture pads, and fuel. If a company quotes significantly lower, ask what’s not included—you might be paying extra for packing materials, mileage, stairs, or heavy items.
For longer moves or jobs requiring more crew members and larger trucks, expect the rate to increase. The key is getting a clear breakdown upfront so you’re not surprised when the final bill arrives. Ask if there’s a minimum number of hours, what happens if the job runs over the estimate, and whether weekend or evening moves cost more.
Some do, but not all. Same-day moving services are critical when your original movers cancel last-minute, your closing date suddenly changes, or you’re dealing with an emergency like a flooded basement or unexpected eviction.
All Terrain Moving specializes in emergency and same-day moves throughout Copiague and Suffolk County. If you call in the morning with an urgent need, there’s a good chance we can get a crew and truck to you that afternoon—assuming we have availability and the job scope is manageable within the remaining daylight hours.
Same-day moves require flexibility on timing. You might not get an exact arrival window, and pricing may be slightly higher due to the scheduling disruption. But if you’re in a bind and need professional movers immediately, it’s worth calling to see what’s possible rather than assuming you’re stuck waiting days or weeks.
Yes, and it’s one of the most efficient ways to handle a move. Instead of coordinating two separate companies—one to move your belongings and another to haul away junk—you get both services in the same trip with the same crew.
Here’s how it works: our movers separate what you’re keeping from what you’re discarding. Items going to your new home get loaded carefully and transported. Items you’re getting rid of—old furniture, broken appliances, boxes of clutter—get hauled away for disposal or donation.
This approach saves you time, eliminates the hassle of scheduling multiple vendors, and often costs less than hiring separate services. You’re paying for the crew’s time either way, so using that time to clear out unwanted items while they’re already there just makes sense. It’s especially useful when you’re downsizing, clearing out a home after a family member passes, or moving into a smaller space where not everything fits.
Pack and label your boxes before the crew arrives. Professional movers can pack for you, but if you’re doing it yourself, have everything boxed up and ready to load. Label boxes by room so they end up in the right place at your new home.
Clear pathways through your home. Move shoes, bags, and clutter out of hallways and doorways so movers can navigate quickly without tripping hazards. If you have a narrow driveway or limited street parking in Copiague, figure out where the truck will park and make sure that spot is accessible.
Disconnect appliances if they’re coming with you. Washers, dryers, and refrigerators need to be unplugged, drained, and ready to move. If you’re not sure how to disconnect something safely, ask our crew when they arrive—we’ve done it a thousand times.
Set aside essentials you’ll need immediately at the new place: medications, important documents, phone chargers, a change of clothes. Keep those with you, not in the truck. And if you have valuable or irreplaceable items—jewelry, family heirlooms, critical paperwork—transport those yourself rather than putting them at risk during the move.
They should be, but not all are. A legitimate professional moving company carries proper licensing and insurance to protect both you and their crew. That includes liability coverage in case your belongings are damaged and workers’ compensation in case someone gets injured on the job.
Before you hire any moving company in Copiague, ask for proof of insurance and verify their licensing status. If they hesitate or can’t provide documentation, that’s a red flag. You’re trusting this company with everything you own—you need to know they’re operating legally and you have recourse if something goes wrong.
Insurance doesn’t mean every scratch or ding is automatically covered. Read the terms carefully. Some policies cover replacement value, others cover depreciated value. Some have deductibles or exclusions for certain types of items. If you have high-value belongings, ask about additional coverage options or consider a separate moving insurance policy. The goal is to understand what’s protected before the truck leaves your driveway, not after something breaks.
For planned moves, two to four weeks is ideal, especially during peak season from late spring through early fall. Summer sees the highest demand for moving services on Long Island, and weekends book up fast. If you’re moving during that window, call earlier rather than later.
That said, if you’re dealing with a last-minute situation, don’t assume you’re out of options. Some moving companies in Copiague offer same-day or next-day service if they have availability. It’s worth calling even if your move is happening in 48 hours—worst case, they’re booked and you try another company.
Off-peak times—mid-month weekdays during fall and winter—offer more flexibility. You’ll have better availability and potentially better rates since demand is lower. If your move date is flexible, avoiding the end of the month and summer weekends can work in your favor both for scheduling and pricing.
