Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if the movers will show up. You’re not getting hit with surprise fees halfway through the job. You’re not watching someone manhandle your grandmother’s dresser or gouge your doorframe.
Instead, you’re dealing with a crew that shows up on time, wraps your furniture properly, and moves efficiently because they’ve done this a few thousand times. Your belongings arrive intact. Your floors and walls stay protected. And when it’s done, the price matches what you were quoted.
That’s the difference between hiring someone who takes moving seriously and hiring whoever answered the phone first. In Elwood, where the median home is worth over half a million dollars, you don’t have room for amateurs dragging a couch across hardwood or denting appliances on the way out.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal isn’t new to Suffolk County. We’ve moved families out of 10,000 square foot homes and college kids out of studio apartments. We’ve relocated pianos, pool tables, gun safes, and entire office buildings.
We’re licensed, insured, and based right here on Long Island. That matters when you’re trusting someone with everything you own. We know Elwood’s tight streets, the housing stock, and what it takes to move efficiently in a community where most people have lived in their homes for years and have accumulated accordingly.
You’ll work directly with our managers, not a call center. And if something comes up last minute, we’ve got the flexibility to adjust because we’re local and we control our own schedule.
First, you reach out for a quote. We ask about the size of your move, what you’re bringing, and if there’s anything that needs special handling like a safe or antique furniture. You get an honest estimate based on what you tell us, not some lowball number that triples on moving day.
When we show up, the crew does a walkthrough to confirm the plan. Then we start wrapping and loading. Furniture gets padded and secured. Fragile items get extra attention. We’re not rushing to the point of being careless, but we’re also not wasting your time.
Once everything’s loaded, we transport it to your new place and unload where you want it. If you need packing help beforehand or junk removal afterward, we handle that too. One company, one bill, no coordination headaches.
And if you’re in a bind and need someone same-day, we’ll do what we can to make it happen. We’ve pulled it off more times than you’d think.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a full-service moving company that handles residential and commercial jobs across Elwood, the rest of Suffolk County, Nassau County, and into Queens. That means local moves, long-distance coordination, packing services if you want them, and junk removal when you’re clearing out before or after.
We bring the equipment to handle specialty items. Pool tables get disassembled and reassembled correctly. Pianos get moved with the right dollies and enough hands to do it safely. Heavy gun safes that most crews won’t touch? We’ve got the experience and tools to relocate them without destroying your floors.
In Elwood, where the average homeowner is 47 years old and has been in their house long enough to accumulate serious belongings, you need movers who can handle volume and value. We’ve moved families out of homes they’ve lived in for decades. That means packed basements, full attics, and furniture that hasn’t been moved in 20 years.
You also get transparent pricing in a market where moving scams are common. Long Island sees plenty of fly-by-night operators who quote low and charge high. We’re not playing that game. You get a fair price upfront, and that’s what you pay.
It depends on the size of your move, how much you’re bringing, and whether you need additional services like packing or junk removal. A small apartment move is going to cost significantly less than a full four-bedroom house with a basement and attic.
Most local moving companies on Long Island charge by the hour with a minimum, or they’ll give you a flat rate based on an estimate. We give you a quote based on what you tell us about your move. If you’re accurate about what you have, the price shouldn’t change.
The bigger issue isn’t the base cost, it’s the surprise fees. A lot of companies will quote you one number and then add charges for stairs, long carries, heavy items, or “extra time” that wasn’t really extra. We don’t do that. If there’s something that’s going to affect the price, we talk about it upfront so you’re not blindsided on moving day.
Yes, and we’ve done it more times than most companies would admit to. If you’re in a situation where another mover canceled, your closing date moved up, or something else went sideways, call us and we’ll see what we can do.
Same-day availability depends on our schedule, but we’ve made it work for people in tight spots. That’s one advantage of being a local moving company instead of a national franchise. We control our own trucks and crews, so if we can move things around, we will.
That said, if you know you’re moving, don’t wait until the last minute. Same-day requests are for emergencies. If you’ve got a week or two, book ahead so you get the time slot you want and we can plan properly. But if you’re stuck, we’re not going to leave you hanging if we can help it.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured for both residential and commercial moving in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. That’s not optional, it’s the law, but you’d be surprised how many people hire movers without checking.
If a company isn’t properly licensed and insured, you’ve got no recourse if something goes wrong. Your belongings get damaged? Too bad. Someone gets hurt on your property? That could come back on you. It’s not worth the risk to save a few bucks with an unlicensed crew.
We’re registered with the USDOT and listed with the Better Business Bureau. You can verify that before you hire us. And if something does get damaged during the move, our insurance covers it. That’s how it’s supposed to work, but it only works if you’re dealing with a legitimate operation.
Yes, we handle specialty items regularly. Pianos, pool tables, gun safes, antique furniture, oversized artwork—if it’s heavy, awkward, or valuable, we’ve probably moved it before.
These items require different equipment and techniques than standard furniture. You can’t just throw a dolly under a grand piano and hope for the best. Same with a 500-pound gun safe. We’ve got the right moving equipment, and more importantly, we’ve got the experience to do it without damaging the item or your property.
A lot of moving companies will either refuse specialty items outright or charge you a fortune and then subcontract it out to someone else. We handle it ourselves. If you’ve got something that needs special attention, mention it when you call for a quote so we can plan accordingly and bring the right crew.
We cover all of Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens County. That includes Elwood, Huntington, Commack, Smithtown, Northport, East Northport, and pretty much anywhere else on Long Island you’re moving to or from.
If you’re moving locally within Elwood or across Long Island, that’s our bread and butter. If you’re moving off the island, we can coordinate that too. We’ve handled moves to New York City, upstate, and out of state.
Being based on Long Island means we know the area. We know which neighborhoods have narrow streets, which buildings have freight elevator restrictions, and how to navigate everything from new construction developments to older homes with tight staircases. That local knowledge makes the job go smoother and faster, which saves you time and money.
Two to three weeks is ideal, especially if you’re moving during peak season—late spring through early fall—or at the end of the month when everyone else is moving. The more notice you give us, the more flexibility you have with scheduling.
That said, we understand that moving timelines don’t always cooperate. Closings get moved up, leases end unexpectedly, or other movers cancel at the last minute. If you’re working with a shorter timeframe, call us anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in.
The worst thing you can do is wait until the day before and then scramble to find anyone available. That’s when you end up hiring whoever picks up the phone, and that’s how people get burned with bad movers. If you know you’re moving, reach out sooner rather than later. And if you’re in Elwood and need an affordable moving company that actually shows up and does the job right, you’re already in the right place.
