Moving day shouldn’t feel like a gamble. You’ve got enough on your plate without wondering if your movers will actually show up, treat your stuff with care, or hit you with surprise fees at the end.
Here’s what changes when you work with a moving service that knows Copiague. Your belongings get loaded efficiently and secured properly. Heavy furniture, fragile items, awkward staircases—it all gets handled without the drama. You’re not making multiple trips in your sedan or begging friends to help with the couch.
The truck shows up when we say it will. Our crew knows how to navigate Long Island traffic and tight residential streets. And when the job’s done, you’re unpacking in your new place—not dealing with damaged furniture or hidden charges.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. operates throughout Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded—DOT #3706838, MC #1340650—because that paperwork actually matters when something goes wrong.
Copiague has its own quirks. Narrow streets in certain neighborhoods. Parking restrictions that change by the block. We’ve moved families out of ranch homes near the water and helped downsize estates that have been in families for decades. The local knowledge makes a difference when you’re trying to get a moving truck down a residential street during morning rush hour.
Matt and Scott run the operation, and they’re not hiding in an office somewhere. They’re on jobs, answering phones, and making sure things go the way they’re supposed to.
First, you tell us what you’re moving and where it’s going. We give you a straightforward quote based on the actual scope of work—not a lowball estimate that triples once we’re already loading your stuff.
On moving day, our crew shows up on time with the right equipment. We walk through the space with you, identify any items that need special handling, and map out the most efficient way to load the truck. Everything gets wrapped, padded, and secured properly before it goes on the truck.
During transport, your belongings stay protected. We’re not making three other stops or leaving your stuff sitting in a truck overnight. When we arrive at your new location, we unload carefully and place items where you want them. Large furniture gets reassembled if we took it apart. Boxes go in the right rooms. You do a final walkthrough, and we settle up based on the quote we gave you.
If you need storage services while you’re between places, we can handle that too. And if you’re clearing out junk before or after the move, we do that in the same trip—no need to coordinate with multiple companies.

Every moving service includes a professional crew, a truck that fits the job, and all the equipment needed to move your stuff safely. That means furniture pads, dollies, straps, and tools for disassembly and reassembly.
In Copiague, where 78.6% of housing units are owner-occupied, most moves involve full households with years of accumulated belongings. We handle everything from standard furniture to specialty items like pianos, pool tables, and safes. If you’ve got fragile antiques or expensive electronics, we pack those with extra care.
For local moves within Copiague or to nearby Long Island communities, we charge by the hour with transparent rates. Long distance moving companies typically quote based on weight and distance, and we do the same for moves outside the immediate area. Storage services are available if your new place isn’t ready yet or you’re staging a home for sale.
Same-day and emergency moving services are available when life throws you a curveball—water damage, sudden closing dates, or another company canceling last minute. We’ve built our schedule to accommodate those urgent situations because we know they happen more often than anyone plans for.
Local moving companies in Copiague generally charge between $230 and $339 per hour for two movers and a truck, though rates vary based on the size of your move and specific requirements. That hourly rate covers labor, the vehicle, basic equipment, and fuel for local jobs.
What affects your final cost? The number of movers you need, how much stuff you’re moving, and how long it takes. A one-bedroom apartment might take 3-4 hours. A full four-bedroom house could run 8-10 hours or require multiple trips.
Be cautious of quotes that seem too good to be true. Some moving companies lowball the estimate to get your business, then add fees once your belongings are on the truck. Ask for a clear breakdown upfront that includes everything—labor, travel time, equipment, and any potential additional charges. Licensed and insured movers cost more than guys with a truck, but that insurance matters if something gets damaged.
Yes, we specialize in emergency and same-day moving services throughout Copiague and the surrounding Suffolk County area. If your original movers canceled, you’re dealing with sudden home damage, or your closing date moved up unexpectedly, we can usually accommodate same-day requests.
Here’s the reality: same-day moves require flexibility on both ends. We need accurate information about what you’re moving and where it’s going. You need to be ready when we arrive—packed, organized, and prepared to move quickly.
Call as early in the day as possible. Morning requests have the best chance of same-day service. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in or if next-day is more realistic. We’ve helped families dealing with everything from flooded basements to last-minute evictions, and we understand that emergencies don’t wait for convenient scheduling.
Yes, All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to operate in New York. Our DOT number is 3706838 and our MC number is 1340650. We carry comprehensive cargo insurance that protects your belongings during transport.
Why does this matter? New York requires moving companies to register with the Department of Transportation and maintain proper insurance. Unlicensed movers can’t legally operate, and if they damage your property or get into an accident, you have zero recourse.
Before hiring any moving company, verify their credentials. Check their DOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA website. Ask about their insurance coverage and what it actually covers. Our insurance protects your belongings if something gets damaged during the move—not just liability for injuries. That difference matters when you’re trusting someone with everything you own.
Yes, we regularly move pianos, pool tables, safes, and other specialty items throughout Copiague and Long Island. These items require specific equipment and experience—you can’t just throw a piano on a dolly and hope for the best.
Pianos need to be properly wrapped, secured, and moved with a piano board or skid. Pool tables must be disassembled, with the slate carefully handled and the felt protected. Safes require specialized dollies and often multiple crew members depending on weight. We bring the right equipment and enough experienced hands to do it safely.
Let us know about specialty items when you’re getting a quote. These pieces affect both timing and pricing because they require extra care and equipment. We’ve moved baby grands down narrow staircases and relocated pool tables from finished basements. It’s not our first time dealing with the complicated stuff, and we’d rather know about it upfront than discover it on moving day.
We offer complete packing services if you want help getting everything ready for the move. Some people prefer to pack their own belongings. Others would rather pay professionals to handle it and save themselves the time and stress.
Professional packing means your items are wrapped properly and boxes are packed efficiently. Fragile items get extra protection. Everything is labeled clearly. And it’s done in hours instead of the weeks it might take you to pack an entire household while working full-time and managing everything else.
You can choose full packing service, partial packing for just the complicated items, or handle it all yourself. If you’re packing yourself, use sturdy boxes and pack them properly—don’t overload boxes or leave empty space where items can shift. We’ve seen too many moves where poorly packed boxes fall apart or items break because they weren’t secured. Good packing makes the actual move faster and protects your belongings better.
We serve all of Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens County. That includes the entire Long Island area and extends into the boroughs for customers who are moving to or from New York City.
Long Island geography matters more than people realize when choosing movers. Traffic patterns change dramatically depending on time of day and season. Some neighborhoods have parking restrictions that require permits. Certain areas have narrow streets where larger trucks can’t navigate easily. We’ve been working throughout these areas long enough to know the quirks.
Whether you’re moving within Copiague, relocating to another Long Island town, or making a long distance move out of state, we handle it. For local jobs, we charge hourly. For long distance moving, we quote based on distance and weight. If you’re moving between any of the 13 towns, 95 villages, or 127 school districts across Long Island, we know the area and can navigate it efficiently.
