You’re not paying for a truck and some muscle. You’re paying to avoid the nightmare stories you’ve heard—the movers who show up three hours late, the ones who tack on mystery fees at the end, or the crew that treats your grandmother’s dresser like a piece of plywood.
When we handle your move in Holtsville, NY, you get a crew that wraps your furniture properly, navigates Long Island traffic without excuses, and finishes the job in the timeframe we promised. Your walls stay clean. Your mattress doesn’t get folded in half. And the final bill matches the quote we gave you upfront.
That’s not marketing talk. It’s how we’ve operated for over 15 years, and it’s why people call us back when they move again or need junk hauled out of their garage. We do the work right, communicate clearly, and don’t leave you wondering if today’s the day your couch gets destroyed.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned moving company serving Holtsville, NY and the surrounding Long Island area. Brothers Scott and Matt started this business because they saw too many people getting burned by movers who didn’t care about the work or the customer.
We’re licensed and insured, which should be baseline but somehow isn’t in this industry. We’ve moved families out of starter homes in Holtsville into bigger places in Nassau County. We’ve helped retirees downsize and handled emergency moves when other companies bailed last minute.
Holtsville has a median home price pushing $655K, and most of our customers here are professionals with families who need their move done efficiently so they can get back to work and life. We get that. We don’t waste your time, and we don’t treat your belongings like they’re disposable.
First, you call or message us for a free quote. We ask about the size of your home, what you’re moving, any specialty items like pianos or gun safes, and where you’re headed. We give you an honest price based on that information—not a lowball number that magically doubles on moving day.
Once you book, we confirm your date and time window. Our crew shows up when we say we will, with the right equipment and materials to protect your stuff. We wrap furniture, pad doorways if needed, and load everything carefully. If you’re moving within Holtsville or across Long Island, we know the routes, the traffic patterns, and how to work efficiently without rushing and breaking things.
At your new place, we unload, place furniture where you want it, and make sure nothing’s damaged before we leave. If you also need junk removal—old furniture, boxes, whatever you’re not taking—we handle that too. One company, one bill, no coordination headaches.
You pay the amount we quoted unless you added items we didn’t know about. That’s it. No hidden fees for stairs, no surprise fuel charges, no games.

We handle residential and commercial moves throughout Holtsville, NY and Long Island. That includes local moving services within Suffolk and Nassau County, long distance moving for out-of-state relocations, and specialty moves for items that require extra care—pianos, pool tables, antiques, heavy safes.
We also offer professional packing services if you don’t have the time or patience to box everything yourself. Our crew brings the supplies, packs your belongings properly, labels everything, and gets it ready for transport. It’s one of those services that sounds like a luxury until you’re three days from your move date and still haven’t touched the kitchen.
Holtsville has a lot of single-family homes with basements and garages full of stuff that’s been sitting there for years. If you’re downsizing or just clearing out before the move, our junk removal service handles that. We haul away furniture, appliances, construction debris, whatever you need gone. You don’t have to rent a dumpster or make multiple dump runs yourself.
We also work with customers who need short-term storage solutions during a move. Whether you’re closing on your new place a month after you leave the old one or just need somewhere to stash things while you renovate, we can help coordinate that.
Most local moving companies in Holtsville charge between $242 and $362 per hour for two movers and a truck. Your final cost depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and whether you need extra services like packing or specialty item handling.
A one-bedroom apartment usually takes 3-4 hours if everything’s packed and ready. A three-bedroom house can take 6-8 hours depending on how much furniture you have and whether there are stairs involved. Long distance moves are typically priced by weight and mileage, not hourly rates.
We give you a free quote upfront so you know what to expect. If you tell us you have a piano or a gun safe, we factor that in from the start—not as a surprise charge when we show up. The key is being honest about what you’re moving so we can give you an accurate number and bring the right equipment.
First, make sure they’re licensed and insured. You’d be shocked how many moving companies operate without proper credentials, and if something goes wrong, you have zero recourse. Check their DOT number if they do interstate moves.
Second, read recent reviews and look for patterns. One bad review might be a fluke, but if multiple people mention the same issues—late arrivals, damaged items, price increases—that’s who they are. Pay attention to how the company responds to complaints. Do they ignore them or actually try to make it right?
Third, get everything in writing. A legitimate moving company will give you a detailed quote that lists what’s included, the estimated time, and the total cost. If someone gives you a vague estimate over the phone and says they’ll “figure it out on moving day,” walk away. That’s how you end up paying double what you expected.
Yes, we handle emergency and same-day moves when our schedule allows. Life happens—other movers cancel last minute, closing dates change, landlords give short notice. We’ve built our business around being flexible and responsive when customers need help fast.
Same-day availability depends on the size of your move and what else we have booked, so call us as early in the day as possible. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in and what time we can get there. We’re not going to promise same-day service and then show up the next afternoon.
Most of our same-day moves are smaller jobs—apartments, single rooms, or emergency situations where someone just needs a few items moved quickly. If you’re moving an entire house, we’ll do our best to accommodate you within 24-48 hours if you’re in a bind.
Yes, we move pianos, gun safes, pool tables, antiques, and other heavy or delicate items regularly. These aren’t things you want handled by a crew that’s just winging it. Pianos can weigh 500-1,200 pounds depending on the type, and they’re expensive to repair if they get damaged. Gun safes can weigh even more and require specific equipment to move safely.
We bring the right tools—dollies, straps, padding, ramps—and we’ve done this enough times to know how to navigate tight hallways, stairs, and doorways without destroying your walls or the item itself. If you have something that requires disassembly and reassembly, like a pool table, we handle that too.
When you call for a quote, mention any specialty items upfront so we can plan accordingly. We need to know what we’re dealing with to bring the right crew size and equipment. That’s how we avoid surprises on moving day and make sure your valuable items get to your new place in the same condition they left.
Most professional moving companies offer packing services, and we do too. Some people want to pack everything themselves to save money, and that’s fine. But if you’re busy, hate packing, or just want it done right, hiring us to pack for you makes sense.
We bring all the supplies—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper—and our crew packs your belongings room by room. Everything gets labeled so you know what’s in each box and where it goes in your new place. Fragile items like dishes, glassware, and electronics get wrapped properly so they don’t break in transit.
Packing services add to the overall cost, but they also save you days of work and a lot of stress. Most customers who use our packing service say it’s worth every dollar because they don’t have to take time off work or spend their weekends elbow-deep in boxes. We can pack your entire house the day before the move or just handle specific rooms like the kitchen or home office if you want to do the rest yourself.
We serve all of Suffolk County and Nassau County, which covers most of Long Island. That includes towns like Farmingville, Medford, Ronkonkoma, Patchogue, Islip, and Smithtown. If you’re moving within Long Island or from Holtsville to another part of New York, we handle that regularly.
We also do long distance moves for customers relocating out of state. Whether you’re moving to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, or across the country, we can coordinate that. Long distance moves require more planning and different logistics than local moves, but we’ve been doing this for over 15 years and know how to make it as smooth as possible.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just call and ask. We’re upfront about our service range, and if we can’t help you for some reason, we’ll tell you that instead of wasting your time.
