Most long distance moving companies lowball the estimate, then hit you with extra charges on moving day. Weight was underestimated. Drive time took longer. Suddenly you’re paying double what you were quoted, and your belongings are sitting in a truck until you pay up.
We don’t operate that way. You get a written breakdown before we touch a single box. Packing options, insurance coverage, specialty handling for pianos or gun safes—it’s all itemized upfront. No fuel surcharges. No stair fees. No weekend premiums.
The price we quote is the price you pay. You’re moving across state lines, maybe across the country. The last thing you need is a moving company adding stress to an already complicated process. You need someone who answers the phone, shows up on schedule, and treats your belongings like they matter.
We’ve been handling long distance moves out of Port Jefferson and across Long Island for over 15 years. We’re not a national franchise with rotating crews. We’re two brothers—Scott and Matt—who built this business by showing up and doing the work right.
You’re not getting temporary workers who disappear after loading day. You’re getting a licensed, insured team that’s handled everything from Brooklyn apartments to North Carolina relocations. We’ve moved pianos, pool tables, entire offices. We know how to pack a truck so your furniture doesn’t shift during an eight-hour drive.
Port Jefferson families and businesses keep calling us back because we don’t ghost you after the estimate. You can reach us. You get answers. And when we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning.
First, we come to you. We look at what you’re moving—furniture, boxes, specialty items—and give you a written estimate based on actual volume and distance. No guessing games.
If you want full packing services, we handle it. Everything gets labeled, wrapped, and loaded with care. If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine too. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
On moving day, we load the truck, secure everything properly, and give you a clear timeline for delivery. You’re not getting a vague “sometime next week” window. You get a real delivery date, and we stick to it.
Once we arrive at your new place, we unload, place furniture where you want it, and make sure nothing’s damaged or missing. Then we’re done. No surprise charges. No holding your belongings hostage until you pay extra fees you never agreed to.

You’re moving out of Port Jefferson to another state, maybe across the country. That means you need more than a truck and some muscle. You need a long distance moving company that understands interstate regulations, proper insurance coverage, and how to handle a multi-day haul without your stuff getting damaged or delayed.
We’re fully licensed for interstate moves. We’re insured. We handle the logistics so you don’t have to figure out USDOT requirements or worry about whether your belongings are protected during transport.
Long Island sees a lot of outbound moves—people relocating to more affordable areas, taking new jobs, downsizing after retirement. We’ve handled moves from Port Jefferson to Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and beyond. We know the routes. We know the timing. And we know how to pack a truck so your furniture doesn’t arrive with scratches and dents.
You also get access to our full range of services: packing, specialty item handling, storage if there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates. We’re not just hauling boxes. We’re making sure this transition actually works for you.
It depends on how much you’re moving and how far you’re going. A one-bedroom apartment moving out of state might run $2,500 to $4,000. A full three-bedroom house going cross country could be $7,000 to $11,000. The biggest factors are volume and distance.
Here’s what drives the price: the number of rooms, how much furniture you have, whether you need full packing services, and whether you’ve got specialty items like pianos or safes that require extra handling. Distance matters too—moving to Pennsylvania costs less than moving to California.
We give you a written estimate after seeing what you’re actually moving. No ballpark guesses over the phone. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start loading the truck, and that number doesn’t change unless you add services or items we didn’t account for in the original walkthrough.
Get everything in writing. If a company won’t give you an itemized estimate or keeps dodging questions about their USDOT number, walk away. Scam movers lowball the estimate to get your business, then triple the price on moving day and refuse to unload until you pay.
Check their licensing. Legitimate interstate movers are registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and have a USDOT number you can verify online. If they can’t provide that, they’re not legal.
Watch out for companies that demand large deposits upfront or only accept cash. Real moving companies take credit cards and don’t ask for more than a reasonable deposit. And if the estimate sounds too good to be true—like half what everyone else is quoting—it probably is. You’ll end up paying more in the end, or worse, your stuff gets held hostage.
Loading day usually takes four to eight hours depending on how much you’re moving. A one-bedroom apartment goes faster than a four-bedroom house. If we’re doing the packing too, add another day or two before the truck gets loaded.
Transit time depends on distance. A move to a neighboring state might be one or two days. Cross country moves can take five to seven days, sometimes longer if you’re going coast to coast. We give you a delivery window based on the route and mileage, and we stay in contact so you know where your stuff is.
Unloading takes a few hours once we arrive. The whole process—from packing to final delivery—might be a week for a regional move, two weeks for a cross country haul. The key is planning ahead. If you’re on a tight timeline, let us know upfront so we can prioritize your move and avoid delays.
We’re fully insured, and we handle your belongings carefully. But if something does get damaged, you’re covered. Before we start, we’ll go over your insurance options—basic coverage is included, and you can purchase additional valuation protection if you’re moving high-value items.
Basic coverage is typically 60 cents per pound per item, which is the industry standard. That means if a 50-pound item gets damaged, you’d get $30. It’s not much, which is why most people moving expensive furniture or electronics opt for full-value protection. That covers repair or replacement at current market value.
Document everything before the move. Take photos of valuable items, note any existing damage, and do a walkthrough with us before we load the truck. If something arrives damaged, report it immediately. We’ll file a claim and work with the insurance provider to get it resolved. The process is straightforward as long as you’ve got documentation.
We offer full packing services if you want us to handle it. We’ll come in, pack everything, label the boxes, and get it all ready for the truck. Most people moving long distance choose this option because it saves time and ensures everything’s packed correctly for a multi-day haul.
If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine. We can provide boxes, tape, and packing materials, or you can source your own. Just make sure fragile items are wrapped well—dishes, glassware, electronics, anything that can break during transport. Long distance moves involve more road time, which means more opportunity for things to shift and get damaged if they’re not packed right.
Partial packing is also an option. You pack the everyday stuff, we handle the tricky items like artwork, mirrors, or your TV. We’ve seen what happens when things aren’t packed properly, and it’s not worth the risk. A little extra upfront saves you from dealing with broken belongings and insurance claims later.
Yes. We’ve moved all of those and more. Pianos require specific equipment and technique—you can’t just tilt it onto a dolly and hope for the best. Same with gun safes, which can weigh 800 pounds or more. Pool tables need to be disassembled, moved carefully, and reassembled at the destination.
These items don’t fit in a standard moving process. They need extra planning, the right equipment, and experience. We’ve handled enough specialty moves to know what works and what doesn’t. Your piano isn’t getting dropped down a flight of stairs, and your pool table isn’t showing up with a cracked slate.
Let us know during the estimate if you’ve got specialty items. We’ll factor in the extra time and equipment needed, and we’ll give you an accurate price for handling them. It costs more than moving a couch, but it’s worth it to avoid damage. These aren’t items you can easily replace, and trying to move them yourself—or trusting a company that doesn’t know what they’re doing—usually ends badly.
