You need to know your stuff arrives intact. That the crew shows up when they say they will. That the final bill matches what you were quoted.
Everything else is noise. In Elwood, where 96.6% of homes are owner-occupied and the median home price hit $695K last month, you’re not moving junk—you’re moving a life you’ve built. The furniture your kids grew up around. The piano that took three years to save for. The office setup that finally works the way you need it to.
We get that. Every box, every piece of furniture, every fragile item gets handled like it matters—because it does. You’re not paying for a moving company. You’re paying for the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve done this thousands of times and still treat every job like it’s our own stuff in the truck.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned moving service based right here on Long Island. Matt and Scott Young run the operation, and they’re the ones you’ll talk to when you call. Not a call center. Not a subcontractor. The people who actually own the business.
We’re licensed, insured, and bonded. We handle residential and commercial jobs across Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens County. We know the traffic patterns on the LIE. We know which streets in Elwood have tight turns and low-clearance trees. We know how to navigate co-op board requirements and building elevator schedules.
That local knowledge matters when you’re coordinating a move in a community where most residents commute 45 minutes to an hour each way for work. Your time is limited. We don’t waste it.
First, you call or contact us for a free quote. We ask about the size of your move, what you’re bringing, whether there are any specialty items like pianos or safes, and where you’re headed. Local or long distance, we price it out clearly.
If you’re moving last-minute, we offer same-day service when our schedule allows. If you’re planning ahead—which we recommend, especially during the busy May through September season—we lock in your date and give you a clear timeline.
On moving day, our crew arrives on time. We do a walkthrough with you, confirm the plan, and get to work. If you need packing services, we handle that too. Fragile items get wrapped properly. Heavy furniture gets protected. Everything gets loaded strategically so it travels safely.
Once we’re at your new place, we unload, place items where you want them, and make sure you’re satisfied before we leave. If something needs adjusting, we handle it then—not after we’re gone. The goal is simple: you should feel good about the move when it’s done, not stressed about what might’ve gone wrong.
Ready to get started?
You get a full-service moving crew that handles everything from packing to loading to transport to unloading. We bring the truck, the equipment, the packing materials if you need them, and the experience to do it right.
Specialty items aren’t a problem. Pool tables, pianos, gun safes, antiques, artwork—we’ve moved it all. If it’s valuable or fragile, we take extra precautions. If it’s oversized or awkward, we have the equipment and the know-how to move it safely.
We also offer junk removal if you’re clearing out items you don’t want to bring to the new place. One company handles both, which saves you time and coordination headaches. And if there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, we can discuss short-term storage solutions. Your items stay secure in our warehouse until you’re ready for delivery.
For long distance moving companies in Elwood, NY, we provide the same level of care whether you’re moving across town or across state lines. Transparent pricing, professional handling, and clear communication from start to finish. The Elwood housing market is competitive—homes are selling fast and often above asking. When your closing date is locked in, you need movers who can execute on schedule without drama.
Local moving companies in Elwood charge by the hour, and rates generally range from $65 to $251 per hour depending on crew size and truck capacity. For a typical local move, you’re looking at anywhere from $301 to $3,512 total, depending on how much you’re moving and how long it takes.
The size of your home matters. A one-bedroom apartment takes less time than a four-bedroom house. Stairs add time. Narrow hallways add time. Long carries from the truck to the door add time. We give you a clear estimate upfront based on what you tell us about your move, so you’re not surprised when the bill comes.
If you want to keep costs down, pack your own boxes ahead of time, disassemble furniture if you’re comfortable doing it, and have everything ready to go when the crew arrives. The less time we spend waiting or prepping, the less you pay. We’re not trying to drag the job out—we want to get you moved efficiently so you can get on with your life.
Yes, if our schedule allows it. We understand that sometimes moves happen fast—maybe your previous movers canceled last minute, maybe your closing date moved up, maybe you just need to get out quickly. We’ve handled plenty of same-day requests, and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.
That said, booking ahead is always better if you have the option. The moving industry on Long Island is busy, especially during summer months when 41% of annual moves happen between May and August. If you’re moving during peak season, you’ll have better availability and potentially better rates if you book 4 to 8 weeks in advance.
But if you’re in a bind and need movers today, call us. We’ll tell you straight whether we can make it work. If we can’t, we’re not going to string you along—we’ll let you know immediately so you can make other arrangements.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded to operate as a moving company in New York. That means if something goes wrong—and we work hard to make sure it doesn’t—you’re protected.
Insurance matters more than most people realize until they need it. If we drop your dresser and it’s damaged, you want to know there’s coverage. If someone gets injured on the job, you want to know you’re not liable. We carry the proper insurance so you don’t have to worry about those scenarios.
We also follow all local regulations for moving in Elwood and across Long Island. That includes understanding parking restrictions, building access rules, and permit requirements depending on where you’re moving from and to. It’s part of being a professional moving service—not just showing up with a truck, but actually knowing how to operate legally and safely in the communities we serve.
Absolutely. Pianos, pool tables, gun safes, large artwork, antiques—we handle specialty items regularly. These aren’t things you can just toss in the truck and hope for the best. They require proper equipment, technique, and experience.
Pianos are especially tricky. They’re heavy, awkward, and expensive to repair if damaged. We use piano boards, straps, and padding to move them safely. Same with pool tables—they need to be disassembled carefully, transported properly, and reassembled at the new location if that’s part of the service you need.
Safes are all about weight distribution and having the right equipment. A gun safe can weigh 600 to 1,000 pounds or more. You can’t just muscle it down a flight of stairs. We use dollies, ramps, and straps designed for heavy loads, and we know how to navigate tight spaces without damaging your walls or floors. If you have something unusual or particularly valuable, mention it when you get your quote so we can plan accordingly.
We can work with you on storage if there’s a gap between when you need to be out of your old place and when you can get into your new one. Your belongings can stay in our secure warehouse until you’re ready for delivery.
This happens more often than you’d think, especially in Elwood’s competitive housing market where closing dates can shift or where you might be coordinating a sale and a purchase that don’t line up perfectly. Rather than scrambling to find a storage facility and coordinate multiple moves, we handle it all in one go.
The tradeoff with warehouse storage is access—you won’t be able to drop by anytime to grab something like you could with a self-storage unit. But for short-term gaps where you just need your stuff held safely until move-in day, it’s a simple solution. We load once, store it, and deliver when you’re ready. One crew, one process, less hassle for you.
If you’re moving during the busy season—May through September—book at least 4 to 8 weeks ahead. Summer is when everyone moves, and availability gets tight fast. The busiest days are June 1st and 30th, and September 1st and 30th. If your move falls near those dates, book even earlier.
Off-season moves have more flexibility. If you’re moving in the fall or winter, you can often book with less lead time and sometimes get better rates because demand is lower. Mid-month and mid-week moves also tend to be easier to schedule than beginning or end of month, weekend moves.
That said, we do accommodate last-minute requests when possible. If you’re reading this and you need to move next week, call us anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in. The worst answer you’ll get is no, and at least then you’ll know and can keep looking. But we’ve made a lot of tight timelines work, and we’ll do our best to help you out if we can.
