Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just moving boxes across state lines. You’re coordinating timing, protecting valuables, and trying to land in your new place without losing your mind or your grandmother’s china.
Here’s what changes when you work with a company that doesn’t hand off your stuff to a third party halfway through. Your belongings stay on one truck with one crew. You get one point of contact who actually knows where your things are. And when something needs to shift—timing, storage, an extra stop—you’re talking to the people who can make it happen, not a call center reading from a script.
Most long distance moving companies subcontract the actual delivery. That’s the number one reason moves go sideways—lost communication, delayed timelines, damaged items. When we say we handle your move, we mean the whole thing. East Hampton to Florida. East Hampton to California. Wherever you’re headed, the same team that loads your truck is the one that unloads it.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family business. Two brothers, Scott and Matt, started this company in East Hampton and built it by showing up on time and not breaking people’s stuff. That’s still how we operate.
We know this area. We know the seasonal property market, the summer-to-winter transitions, the vacation home closures that need to happen fast. A lot of our clients are moving out of state for retirement, relocating for work, or consolidating properties. These aren’t simple moves, and they don’t need a corporate moving company that treats everyone the same.
You’re working with people who live here, who’ve moved hundreds of families out of Long Island, and who understand what it takes to coordinate a cross country move without the chaos. Licensed, insured, and fully accountable from the first phone call to the final box.
First, you call or fill out a form. We ask about your timeline, where you’re going, what you’re moving, and whether you need packing help or just transport. Then we give you an upfront quote—no hidden fees for stairs, long carries, or bulky items. Everything’s included.
If you want us to pack, we show up with materials and handle it. If you’re packing yourself, we’ll walk you through what you need and how to prep fragile items. Either way, we schedule a load date that works for your closing, lease, or just when you need to be out.
On moving day, the crew arrives, loads everything carefully, and hits the road. You get updates on timing and location. No mystery. No “we’ll call you when we’re close.” If you need short-term storage while you’re between places, we’ve got warehouse space. If your new place isn’t ready, your stuff stays safe until it is.
When we arrive at your destination, we unload, place items where you want them, and make sure nothing’s damaged or missing. That’s the move. No subcontractors. No surprises.
Ready to get started?
You’re paying for transport, labor, and accountability. But here’s what that actually covers: full packing services if you want them, all materials included in the quote, loading and unloading with care for fragile and oversized items, and direct delivery with no handoffs to other companies.
We also handle specialty items—pianos, safes, pool tables, artwork. If it’s valuable or awkward to move, we’ve moved it before. And if you’re downsizing or clearing out before the move, we’ll haul away what you don’t want to bring. Junk removal is part of what we do, and it’s one less company you have to coordinate with.
East Hampton has a unique moving market. A lot of people here own multiple properties or are relocating after selling a high-value home. That means the stakes are higher—expensive furniture, antiques, collections. You’re not moving a studio apartment’s worth of IKEA. You need a company that treats your belongings like they’re worth what you paid for them.
We also understand timing. If you’re closing on a sale and need to be out by a specific date, we make it happen. If your new place falls through and you need storage for a month, we adjust. Flexibility matters when you’re coordinating a move across time zones with real estate contracts and family schedules.
Most long distance moves out of East Hampton run between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on how much you’re moving and how far you’re going. A one-bedroom apartment to North Carolina is going to cost less than a four-bedroom house to California.
The price covers labor, truck, fuel, and materials. We give you a quote upfront based on your inventory and destination, so you’re not guessing. If you want full packing services, that’s extra, but we include it in the estimate—not as a surprise charge later.
The biggest cost variable is distance and volume. A 1,200-mile move with 8,000 pounds of household goods costs more than a 600-mile move with 3,000 pounds. We don’t charge extra for stairs, long carries, or standard-sized furniture. If you’ve got a grand piano or a gun safe, we’ll let you know if there’s an additional fee, but that’s rare and always discussed up front.
Depends on where you’re going. Florida is about three to five days. California is closer to seven to ten days. The timeline includes loading, drive time, and unloading.
We’re not rushing your belongings across the country in 48 hours. That’s how things get damaged or lost. We drive carefully, follow legal rest requirements, and keep you updated on progress. If you need your stuff by a specific date, tell us during the quote, and we’ll build the schedule around that.
Some moves require storage on one or both ends. If your new place isn’t ready when we arrive, we can hold your items in our warehouse until you’re clear to move in. That’s common with cross country relocations where closing dates don’t line up perfectly. We don’t charge storage for the first few days—after that, it’s a daily rate we’ll discuss up front.
No. That’s one of the main reasons people choose us. When you hire a long distance moving company, ask them directly: “Will the same crew that loads my truck be the one that unloads it?” Most companies will dodge the question or say they “work with a network of trusted partners.” That’s code for subcontracting.
Subcontracting is the number one cause of problems in long distance moves. Your belongings get transferred to another truck or another company, and suddenly no one knows where your stuff is or when it’ll arrive. Communication breaks down. Accountability disappears.
We load your truck in East Hampton, and we unload it at your destination. Same crew, same truck, same company. If something goes wrong, you’re talking to the people who can fix it—not a customer service rep who’s reading notes from a different company. That’s how we’ve operated since 2009, and it’s why our clients trust us with high-value moves.
We store your belongings in our warehouse until you’re ready. This happens more often than you’d think—closings get delayed, renovations run over, or your lease doesn’t start when you expected.
Our warehouse is secure and climate-controlled. Your items stay packed and organized exactly how they were loaded. When your new place is ready, we deliver and unload just like we planned. The first few days of storage are usually included in your move cost. After that, we charge a daily rate that we’ll go over during your quote.
If you know ahead of time that you’ll need storage, tell us. We can plan for it and make sure your belongings are packed and labeled in a way that makes retrieval easy. Some clients store for a week. Some store for a month while they’re house-hunting. We’ve handled both, and the process is straightforward.
We offer full packing services, and most of our long distance clients take us up on it. Packing an entire household correctly takes time, materials, and experience—especially when you’re moving fragile items, artwork, or electronics across the country.
If you want us to pack, we bring all the materials—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, padding—and handle everything from dishes to closets. We label boxes by room and contents so unpacking isn’t a nightmare. Fragile items get extra protection. Large furniture gets wrapped and padded.
If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine too. We’ll tell you what materials you need and how to prep items so they survive the trip. Most people pack personal items and clothes themselves and let us handle the kitchen, fragile items, and anything oversized. That’s a good middle ground if you want to save some money but still protect what matters.
We’re fully licensed and insured, which means your belongings are covered during transport. But here’s what you need to understand about moving insurance: there are different levels of coverage, and not all of them are created equal.
Basic coverage is included in every move—it’s called released value protection, and it covers $0.60 per pound per item. That sounds like something until you realize your 50-pound TV is only covered for $30 if it breaks. Most people want full value protection, which covers the actual replacement cost of damaged items. That’s an additional cost, and we’ll explain the options when we give you a quote.
We also recommend taking photos of high-value items before the move and keeping an inventory list. If something does get damaged—rare, but it happens—you’ll have documentation for the claim. We handle items carefully, but cross country moves involve thousands of miles of road, and it’s smart to be prepared.
