Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if the truck will show up. You’re not scrambling two days before your lease ends because another company just canceled. You already know what you’re paying because the estimate you got is the number you’ll see at the end.
Your floors stay protected. Your doorframes don’t get dinged. The fragile stuff your spouse was worried about arrives in the same condition it left.
You don’t waste half your Saturday waiting for a four-hour window. Our crew shows up on time, moves efficiently, and you’re unpacked by dinner. That’s what happens when you work with a local moving company that’s been doing this for over a decade and actually answers the phone when you call.
All Terrain Moving isn’t a call center or a franchise. Matt runs the operation, and when you call, you’re talking to someone who knows the buildings in Lake Ronkonkoma, the parking situations, and how to navigate a move when the elevator’s out or the stairwell’s narrow.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded. We’ve handled everything from studio apartments near the LIRR station to full houses off Portion Road. We also do junk removal, so if you need to clear out before you move or after you unpack, you’re not calling two different companies.
Lake Ronkonkoma’s housing market moves fast—homes sell in 19 days on average. When you’re coordinating a closing, a lease end, and a moving truck, the last thing you need is a company that doesn’t show up or changes the price halfway through.
First, you reach out for an estimate. We ask about square footage, what you’re moving, any specialty items like pianos or pool tables, and where you’re going. You get a real number based on what you told us—not a lowball quote designed to get you on the phone.
When moving day comes, our crew shows up on time with the right equipment. Floor protection goes down first. Doorframes get padded. Furniture gets wrapped. If something’s fragile or valuable, it gets handled that way.
Loading happens efficiently because our crew knows what they’re doing. You’re not paying hourly rates while people stand around figuring out Tetris. Everything gets secured in the truck properly so it doesn’t shift during transport.
At the destination, everything comes off carefully and goes where you want it. Boxes in the right rooms. Furniture positioned how you asked. We don’t leave until you’re satisfied with the placement. If you need storage between moves or junk removal after, we handle that too.

You get local and long-distance moving services. Whether you’re moving across Lake Ronkonkoma or leaving Long Island entirely, the same crew handles it. We also do commercial moves if you’re relocating an office.
Packing services are available if you don’t have time or don’t want to deal with it. We bring the materials, pack everything properly, and label it so unpacking isn’t chaos. If you just need packing supplies, we can provide those too.
Specialty items get handled with the right equipment. Pianos, gun safes, pool tables—these aren’t things you move with a dolly and hope for the best. We have the tools and experience to do it without damaging your property or the item.
Lake Ronkonkoma’s median home price hit $640K recently, and rent averages over $4,500. You’ve got valuable stuff in your home, and you’re paying good money to move it. We treat it that way. Floor protection, furniture padding, and careful handling aren’t extras—they’re standard. If timing doesn’t line up between your move-out and move-in dates, we offer storage solutions so you’re not stuck paying for two places or rushing a decision.
Local movers in Lake Ronkonkoma typically charge between $97 and $145 per hour, depending on crew size and truck capacity. A small apartment usually takes 3-4 hours. A full house can run 6-8 hours or more, depending on how much you’re moving and how far.
The final cost depends on your specific situation—square footage, number of rooms, specialty items, stairs, distance to the new place. That’s why we ask questions upfront instead of giving you a generic range. You’ll get a real estimate based on what you’re actually moving.
If another company quoted you significantly less, ask what’s included. Some companies lowball the estimate to get your business, then add fees once your stuff is on the truck. We don’t do that. The number we give you is the number you pay, assuming nothing major changes from what you told us.
Call us. We offer same-day emergency moving services for situations exactly like this. It happens more than you’d think—especially during busy season when companies overbook and cancel on whoever seems easiest to drop.
If you’re two days from your lease ending or your closing date and suddenly don’t have a moving company, that’s a real problem. We’ve stepped in for people in that situation dozens of times. We can’t always guarantee same-day availability, but we’ll tell you honestly what we can do and when we can get there.
The key is calling as soon as you know there’s a problem. The earlier you reach out, the better chance we have of fitting you in. Don’t wait until the morning of your move to start looking for a replacement. And next time, work with a local company that’s been around for a decade, not whoever had the cheapest Yelp ad.
We’re already licensed, insured, and bonded, which protects you if something goes wrong during the move. That’s the baseline—any legitimate moving company should have this. If they don’t, don’t hire them.
That said, our insurance covers liability, but it’s not the same as full replacement value for high-end items. If you’re moving expensive furniture, art, or electronics, check with your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to see what’s covered during a move. Some policies include it automatically. Others require a rider.
If you’ve got items worth more than standard coverage, tell us upfront. We’ll take extra precautions and document everything before it goes on the truck. Most moves go perfectly fine, but if you’re moving a $10,000 piano or a custom piece of furniture, it’s worth having that conversation before moving day, not after.
Two to four weeks is ideal, especially if you’re moving during summer or at the end of the month when everyone’s lease turns over. Lake Ronkonkoma’s housing market moves fast—homes sell in under three weeks—so once you have your closing date or move-out date confirmed, book us.
If you’re moving during winter or mid-month, you might get away with less notice. But waiting until the last minute limits your options and increases the chance you’ll end up with whoever’s left, not who you actually want.
We’ve handled same-day moves when people are in a bind, but that’s emergency service, not the plan. If you know you’re moving, call early. You’ll get your preferred date, better scheduling flexibility, and one less thing to stress about while you’re packing and coordinating everything else.
Local moves are typically within 50-100 miles and charged by the hour. Long-distance moves cross state lines or go beyond that radius and are usually priced based on weight and mileage. The crew, the truck, and the process are similar, but the logistics and pricing structure change.
For local moves in Lake Ronkonkoma—whether you’re going to another part of town or over to Nassau County—you’re paying for the time it takes to load, drive, and unload. For long-distance moves, like if you’re leaving Long Island for North Carolina or Florida (common destinations for people leaving the area), you’re paying for the full transport.
Long-distance moves also involve more planning. You need to coordinate timing on both ends, sometimes deal with storage if dates don’t align, and make sure everything’s packed securely for a longer trip. We handle both, and we’ll walk you through what’s different based on where you’re going.
Yes. We move pianos, pool tables, gun safes, and other specialty items that require specific equipment and experience. These aren’t things you can just wrap in a blanket and hope for the best.
Pianos are heavy, awkward, and expensive. Moving one down a staircase or through a narrow doorway without damaging it or your walls takes the right dolly, straps, and technique. Same with pool tables—they have to be disassembled, moved carefully, and reassembled correctly or the slate cracks and the felt tears.
If you’ve got specialty items, mention them when you call for an estimate. It affects the crew size, equipment we bring, and time required. We’ve moved plenty of these in Lake Ronkonkoma homes, and we know what we’re doing. You’re not going to end up with a scratched piano or a ruined pool table because someone tried to wing it.
