Wheatley Heights sits mid-island, away from the coast, which means no ocean breeze to soften the heat in July or take the edge off a January freeze. What that means for your stored belongings is real: unregulated storage unit interiors can push past 100°F in summer and drop below freezing in winter. Wood furniture warps. Upholstery grows mold. Electronics fail when adhesives break down under heat. Documents and photos stick together and don’t come apart clean. These aren’t worst-case scenarios they’re what happens when climate control isn’t part of the equation.
The housing stock in Wheatley Heights tells the rest of the story. Most homes here are single-family builds from the post-war era solid homes that families have invested in, updated, and in many cases are actively renovating right now. Home values hit $542,959 in 2023 and climbed 7.45% in a single year. When you’re gutting a kitchen, adding a bathroom, or clearing rooms to stage before listing, your furniture and household goods need somewhere safe to go while the work happens. A climate-controlled, monitored storage unit isn’t a luxury for a family in this situation it’s just the responsible choice.
When you work with us at All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc., your belongings go from your home into a temperature-controlled, secure storage facility and come back to you in the same condition they left. No handoffs, no mystery, no damage you’re left explaining to an 800 number.
We’ve been operating across Long Island for over 15 years, fully licensed and insured under New York State Department of Transportation requirements. That’s not a line item on a checklist in a market where unlicensed operators are a documented problem, it’s the baseline of accountability that Wheatley Heights families deserve when they’re trusting someone with their home’s contents.
The Town of Babylon is part of our regular service area. We know the residential streets in Wheatley Heights, the typical layouts of the homes, and the commuter reality that makes scheduling flexibility non-negotiable for families catching the Farmingdale LIRR or heading west on the LIE. We’re not routing your call through a national call center. When you reach out, you’re talking to a local company that has worked in this community and the surrounding areas Deer Park, Wyandanch, Dix Hills for a long time.
Our reviews are verified through Trustindex, a third-party platform. Real customers, real feedback not curated testimonials we wrote ourselves.
It starts with a call. You tell us what you need whether that’s storing furniture during a renovation, clearing space before a home sale, or bridging the gap between a closing date and a move-in date. We give you a straightforward quote with no hidden fees, and we schedule pickup at a time that works around your life, not ours.
On pickup day, our crew comes to your Wheatley Heights home and handles everything. Furniture gets wrapped and padded properly. Specialty items pianos, antiques, pool tables, safes get the specific handling they require. Nothing gets tossed into a truck and hoped for the best. From your home, your belongings go directly into our climate-controlled, monitored storage facility, where they stay at a consistent 55–80°F regardless of what Long Island’s weather is doing outside.
When you’re ready whether that’s three weeks or six months later we schedule delivery and bring everything back. Month-to-month terms mean you’re never locked into a contract that outlasts your actual need. If your renovation runs long or your closing date shifts (and in this market, it happens), you’re not penalized for it. One company, start to finish, with a single point of contact the whole way through.

The storage needs of a Wheatley Heights homeowner aren’t the same as someone renting a unit to park extra boxes. Families here have invested in their homes and their belongings solid wood furniture, electronics, clothing, heirlooms, children’s equipment, and in many cases specialty items that can’t be thrown into a standard unit without consequences. Our temperature-controlled storage maintains a consistent 55–80°F year-round with humidity management built in, because Long Island’s summers are genuinely humid and the inland mid-island climate doesn’t give you any coastal buffer.
Security isn’t an afterthought here either. The New York State Division of Consumer Protection specifically advises consumers to confirm that a storage facility has a working surveillance system before signing anything. Our facilities include security monitoring your belongings are watched over, not just locked behind a door.
We also offer residential junk removal alongside storage, which matters more than it might seem. Before anything goes into storage, we can help you clear out what doesn’t need to come with you old furniture, appliances, accumulated clutter. That reduces your storage footprint, lowers your monthly cost, and means that when everything comes back out, it’s only the things that actually belong in your next chapter. For Wheatley Heights families managing a renovation, a downsizing, or an estate, that combination of services in one place is something no national self-storage chain can offer.
For most of what Wheatley Heights homeowners are storing, yes and the reason is specific to this area’s climate. Wheatley Heights is an inland, mid-island community. There’s no coastal proximity to moderate temperature swings, which means storage unit interiors without climate control can exceed 100°F during Long Island summers and drop below freezing in winter. That kind of range does real damage to the things most families store: solid wood furniture warps and cracks under heat and humidity cycles, upholstered pieces develop mold, electronics fail when internal adhesives break down, and documents or photographs degrade in moisture.
If you’re storing items during a home renovation or between a sale and a new purchase both very common scenarios in Wheatley Heights right now given how active the real estate market is you’re likely storing things you actually care about. The cost of climate-controlled storage is a fraction of what it would cost to replace a warped dining set or a mold-damaged mattress. It’s worth it.
Month-to-month means exactly that you pay for the time you actually use, and you’re not locked into a long-term contract. There are no early termination fees and no administrative penalties if your timeline changes. You give us notice when you’re ready for delivery, and we schedule it.
This matters a lot in Wheatley Heights’ current real estate environment. Homes here are selling over asking price, closings are moving fast, and renovation timelines don’t always go as planned. If you’re storing furniture while a contractor finishes a kitchen remodel and the job runs two weeks longer than expected, you shouldn’t be penalized for that. And if your gap between closings turns out to be shorter than you anticipated, you only pay for the weeks you actually needed. Flexibility is built into how we operate not something you have to negotiate for.
We store the full range of household goods furniture, electronics, clothing, seasonal items, appliances, boxes, and more. We also handle specialty items that standard self-storage facilities aren’t equipped to manage safely: pianos, pool tables, antiques, safes, and heirlooms that require specific handling during both transport and storage.
Specialty item handling isn’t just about being careful. A piano needs to be padded and secured so the finish doesn’t scratch and internal components don’t shift in transit. A pool table needs to be broken down properly so the slate doesn’t crack under its own weight. A safe requires weight-appropriate equipment not a hand truck and a hope. The same crew that handles the move handles the storage, so there’s no knowledge gap between the people who know how to move your item and the people responsible for keeping it safe. For a Wheatley Heights family with an antique dining set or a baby grand in the living room, that continuity matters.
Storage pricing depends on volume how much you’re storing and how long you need it. In the Suffolk County market, climate-controlled storage typically ranges from around $60 to $275 per month depending on unit size. Our full-service model includes professional pickup and delivery, so you’re not paying separately for a mover and a storage facility that’s all one cost, one company, one invoice.
It’s worth comparing that honestly to what self-storage actually costs when you add everything up. National chains and aggregator sites advertise units as low as $9–$29 per month, but those prices often exclude administrative fees, required insurance, lock fees, and other charges that show up at signing. And they don’t include anyone to actually move your belongings that’s on you. For a Wheatley Heights homeowner managing a renovation or a real estate transaction, the time and coordination required to do it yourself has real value. A transparent, all-in quote from one company is often more cost-effective than it looks at first.
Yes and this is one of the more practical combinations we offer. Before anything goes into storage, we can come in and remove the items you don’t want to keep: old furniture, appliances, electronics, accumulated clutter from a basement or garage. That way, you’re only storing what you actually need, which reduces your storage footprint and lowers your monthly cost.
For Wheatley Heights families who are renovating, downsizing, or settling an estate, this matters in a real way. It’s very common to start the process of clearing a home and realize there’s a mix of things you want to keep, things you want to donate or dispose of, and things you genuinely need stored for a period of time. We can handle all three in one visit. You don’t have to coordinate a junk removal company separately from a mover and a storage facility we do all of it, and we do it in one trip.
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured under New York State Department of Transportation requirements for household goods movers. This applies to our operations throughout Suffolk County, including Wheatley Heights and the broader Town of Babylon.
This is worth paying attention to because the New York market has a documented history of unlicensed moving operators companies that take deposits, show up with inadequate equipment, and leave customers with damaged belongings and no legal recourse. The New York State Division of Consumer Protection has flagged this as an active concern, not a hypothetical one. When you hire a licensed and insured company, you have a clear path to accountability if something goes wrong. For a Wheatley Heights homeowner storing furniture, heirlooms, or specialty items from a home valued at over half a million dollars, that legal protection isn’t a formality it’s part of what you’re paying for.
