You’re not just moving boxes across state lines. You’re relocating a $700K+ home full of irreplaceable items, coordinating closing dates, and probably dealing with a commute that already eats 90 minutes of your day. The last thing you need is a moving company that ghosts you or doubles their quote when the truck shows up.
Here’s what changes when you work with movers who actually know what they’re doing. Your belongings get wrapped and padded by people who’ve handled everything from grand pianos to gun safes. Your timeline gets respected because we’ve coordinated enough West Hills moves to know how HOA rules and narrow driveways affect scheduling. Your stress drops because someone finally answers the phone and tells you exactly what’s happening.
You get a number upfront. That number doesn’t change unless the scope does. And when your furniture arrives in Florida or North Carolina or wherever you’re headed, it’s in the same condition it left.
All Terrain Moving is run by two brothers, Scott and Matt Young, who’ve been doing this for over 15 years right here on Long Island. We’re based in Islandia, fully licensed and insured, and we built this business the old-fashioned way: one satisfied customer telling another.
Most of our work comes from repeat clients or referrals. That only happens when you show up on time, handle people’s belongings like they matter, and charge what you said you’d charge. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re fine with that. You’re paying for movers who won’t hold your stuff hostage or damage your hardwood floors on the way out.
West Hills has some of the highest-value homes on Long Island. We’ve moved enough of them to know what that means: tight timelines, valuable furnishings, and zero tolerance for sloppiness. We get it, and we handle it accordingly.
First, you call or fill out the form and we schedule a time to walk through what you’re moving. We give you a free estimate based on the actual scope, not some lowball number that triples later. If your move involves specialty items like a pool table or a safe, we account for that upfront.
Once you’re ready to book, we lock in your dates and start coordinating logistics. If you need packing services, we’ll handle that too. If you’d rather pack yourself, we’ll tell you exactly how to do it so nothing breaks in transit. Either way, we’re clear about timing and what to expect.
On moving day, our crew shows up with the right equipment and gets to work. We pad and wrap everything, load the truck properly, and treat your home like it’s ours. Once we’re on the road, you’ll know when to expect delivery. And when we unload at your new place, we don’t just dump boxes in the garage. We put things where you want them and make sure everything arrived intact.

You’re getting a full-service long distance moving company that handles residential and commercial moves across state lines. That means professional packing if you want it, specialty item handling for pianos and antiques, and the right equipment to move heavy furniture without wrecking your floors or doorways.
We’re licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong. If you’re moving from West Hills to one of those popular Southern states—North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee—you’re part of a trend. Retirees and families are relocating for lower costs and better weather, and we’ve handled plenty of those moves. We know the routes, the timing, and the headaches that come with coordinating a long-haul move during peak season.
You also get transparent pricing. We’ll tell you what it costs before we start, and that number holds unless you add something we didn’t account for. No bait-and-switch. No ransom situations where your stuff sits on a truck until you pay double. That’s not how we operate, and it’s why people keep calling us back.
If your closing date shifts or your schedule changes, we’ll work with you. Moving timelines are rarely set in stone, especially when you’re dealing with real estate transactions in a market where interest rates have slowed everything down.
It depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and what kind of services you need. A typical long distance move from West Hills to another state can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more if you’re moving a large home with a lot of furniture and specialty items.
We give free estimates based on the actual scope of your move. That means we look at what you’re taking, where it’s going, and whether you need packing services or just loading and transport. The number we give you is the number you pay unless the scope changes, like if you add a storage unit’s worth of stuff we didn’t know about.
The biggest cost drivers are distance, volume, and timing. Moving during peak season or at the end of the month costs more because demand is higher. If you’re flexible on dates, that can save you money. And if you’re moving from a high-value home in West Hills with a lot of heavy or fragile items, expect to pay for the expertise required to handle that properly.
Start by making sure the company is licensed and insured. You can check their credentials and look for red flags like no physical address or a brand-new business with no track record. Scam movers often give lowball estimates over the phone without seeing what you’re actually moving, then hold your belongings hostage until you pay way more than quoted.
Get everything in writing. A legitimate moving company will give you a detailed estimate that breaks down costs and explains what’s included. If someone quotes you over the phone without asking questions or offers a price that’s way lower than everyone else, that’s a warning sign.
Read reviews, but read them carefully. Look for patterns in feedback, not just star ratings. Do people mention transparent pricing? Did the crew show up on time? Were there surprise fees? We’ve been around for over 15 years and most of our business comes from referrals. That doesn’t happen if you’re running scams or treating people poorly. Ask for references if you want them. We’ll give you names of people we’ve moved who are happy to vouch for us.
Fall and winter are typically cheaper and easier to schedule because fewer people are moving. Summer is peak season, especially late spring through early September, because families want to move between school years and real estate transactions pick up. If you’re flexible, moving in October through March usually means better availability and lower rates.
End of the month is always busier because that’s when most leases end and closings happen. If you can move mid-month, you’ll have an easier time getting your preferred dates. Same goes for weekdays versus weekends. Friday through Sunday books up fast.
That said, life doesn’t always give you the luxury of perfect timing. If you’re relocating for a job or coordinating a closing, you move when you need to move. We’ve handled plenty of last-minute and peak-season moves from West Hills. It just helps to book as early as possible so we can lock in your dates and plan the logistics properly.
Yes. We can pack everything for you, or we can pack just the fragile and specialty items while you handle the rest. It depends on how much time you have and how comfortable you are packing things like glassware, artwork, and electronics.
Professional packing costs more, but it also means your belongings are way less likely to get damaged in transit. We use the right materials and techniques to protect everything, and if something does break, our insurance covers it because we packed it. If you pack it yourself and something breaks, that’s a different story.
A lot of West Hills clients opt for full packing services because they’re busy, they’re moving high-value items, or they just don’t want the hassle. We’ll show up with all the supplies, wrap and box everything properly, label it all, and load it onto the truck. When we unload at your new place, we’ll unpack if you want that too. It’s one less thing to worry about during an already stressful process.
It depends on where you’re going. A move to a neighboring state like Pennsylvania or New Jersey might take a day or two. A cross country move to California or Washington could take a week or more, depending on the route and whether we’re consolidating loads.
We’ll give you a delivery window when we book your move. That’s not an exact date because long distance moving involves variables like weather, traffic, and DOT regulations on how long drivers can be on the road. But we stay in touch throughout the process so you know where your stuff is and when to expect it.
Most moves from West Hills to popular destinations like North Carolina or Florida take three to five days. If you need your belongings by a specific date, tell us upfront and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen. We’ve coordinated plenty of moves where timing was tight because of a closing or a job start date. It’s doable, it just requires planning and clear communication on both ends.
Yes. We’ve moved pianos, pool tables, gun safes, antiques, and all kinds of oversized or fragile items across state lines. It requires the right equipment and the experience to do it without damaging the item or your property.
Pianos and safes are heavy and awkward. Moving them down stairs or through narrow doorways takes planning and the right tools. We’ve done it enough times that we know how to protect your floors, your walls, and the item itself. Same goes for antiques and artwork. We wrap and pad everything properly and secure it in the truck so it doesn’t shift during transport.
If you have specialty items, mention them when you call for an estimate. We need to account for the extra time, equipment, and care required to move them safely. It affects the cost, but it also ensures nothing gets broken. West Hills homes tend to have valuable furnishings and irreplaceable items. We treat them accordingly because we know what they mean to you and what they’re worth.
