You’re not looking for the cheapest quote. You’re looking for the move that doesn’t turn into a nightmare halfway through.
That means showing up on time, knowing how to navigate Setauket’s narrow streets and parking restrictions, and actually protecting your furniture instead of just wrapping it. It means understanding that your grandmother’s china cabinet isn’t just another item on the truck.
When local movers in Setauket know what they’re doing, your move happens faster. You’re not paying for extra hours because someone didn’t plan the route or bring the right equipment. Your walls don’t get scuffed. Your back doesn’t get thrown out. And you’re not spending your first night in the new place wondering if hiring professionals was even worth it.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is owned and operated by brothers Matthew and Scott Young, right here on Long Island. We’re based in Islandia and we’ve moved enough Setauket homes to know the difference between a straightforward job and one that needs extra planning.
We’re licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong. We’ve handled everything from studio apartments to 10,000 square foot homes, and we know that every move has its own complications. Setauket’s mix of historic homes and modern builds means access issues, tight staircases, and valuable items that need more than a guy with a dolly.
You’re hiring local moving companies because you want people who’ve done this before and won’t learn on your dime.
First, you call or reach out online. We ask the right questions upfront so there’s no confusion later about what you need and what it’ll cost.
Then we schedule a time that works for you. If you need last-minute or same-day service, we’ll tell you if we can make it happen. If you’re planning ahead, we lock in your date and walk through any special requirements—pianos, pool tables, antiques, whatever needs extra attention.
On moving day, we show up with the right truck and the right equipment. We protect your floors, wrap your furniture, and load everything strategically so nothing shifts during transport. If you’re moving locally in Setauket or heading long distance, we plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays.
Once we’re at the destination, we unload, place everything where you want it, and make sure you’re satisfied before we leave. If something needs adjusting, we handle it then—not after we’re already gone.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting more than just movers in Setauket who load a truck. We handle packing if you need it, which saves you days of work and ensures everything’s protected correctly. We bring the materials—boxes, tape, padding, shrink wrap.
We also offer storage services for when your timing doesn’t line up perfectly. Maybe your closing date got pushed or you’re downsizing and need time to sort through everything. We work with secure facilities and can coordinate the logistics so you’re not scrambling.
For long distance moving companies, the process gets more complicated. We coordinate timing across state lines, handle paperwork, and keep you updated throughout. Setauket sees a lot of moves to Florida, North Carolina, and other states where Long Islanders are relocating. We’ve done those routes enough times to anticipate problems before they happen.
If you need junk removal during the move, we handle that too. Cleanouts, donation drop-offs, disposal—it’s all part of making the transition easier instead of giving you another task to manage.
Cost depends on how much you’re moving, how far, and how much labor it takes. A small apartment might run a few hundred dollars. A large house with specialty items like pianos or safes will cost more.
Most moving companies in Setauket charge by the hour for local moves, plus travel time and materials. You’re usually looking at a minimum of two to three hours, even for smaller jobs. If you have a lot of heavy furniture, narrow staircases, or limited parking access, that adds time.
We give you a clear estimate upfront based on what you tell us. If you’re not sure about the scope, we can do a walkthrough. The goal is no surprises when the bill comes—just a fair price for the work that actually gets done.
Yes, if we have availability. Last-minute moves happen more often than people think—closing dates change, leases end unexpectedly, or someone just needs to get out fast.
We keep our schedule flexible enough to handle emergency requests when possible. That said, peak moving season (late spring through early fall) fills up quickly, so same-day service isn’t always guaranteed. If you call early in the day, your chances are better.
Even if we can’t do same-day, we’ll work with you to find the soonest available time. We’ve turned around moves in 24 to 48 hours plenty of times. The key is being upfront about what you need so we can plan accordingly and bring the right crew and equipment.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial moving, packing, storage, and junk removal services throughout Long Island.
Insurance matters because accidents happen, even with experienced movers. If something gets damaged, you want to know there’s coverage. A lot of people don’t ask about this until after something goes wrong, and by then it’s too late.
We also carry the proper certificates of insurance (COI) required by many buildings and homeowners associations in Setauket and surrounding areas. If your new building requires proof of insurance before move-in, we have that ready to go. It’s one less thing you need to chase down during an already hectic process.
Yes. Specialty items are part of what we do regularly, and they require different equipment and techniques than standard furniture.
Pianos need to be wrapped, strapped, and moved with a dolly designed for the weight distribution. Pool tables have to be disassembled, moved in pieces, and reassembled correctly or they won’t play right. Safes are just heavy and awkward—you need the right team and the right equipment or someone’s getting hurt.
We’ve moved all of these items throughout Setauket and Long Island. We ask about specialty items upfront because they affect timing, crew size, and cost. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies as a specialty item, just mention it when you call. We’d rather know ahead of time than show up unprepared.
We provide both. Some people want to pack themselves to save money. Others would rather pay to have it done right and save the time and stress.
If you choose our packing services, we bring all the materials—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, and padding for furniture. We pack room by room, label everything clearly, and make sure fragile items are protected properly. It’s faster than doing it yourself because we’re not stopping to figure out what goes where or making trips to buy more supplies.
If you’re doing your own packing, we can still provide the materials if you need them. Just pack everything before we arrive so we’re not waiting around. Either way works—it’s about what makes sense for your timeline and budget. We’re flexible because every move in Setauket is different.
Two to four weeks is ideal, especially if you’re moving during peak season. That gives us time to schedule the right crew, confirm details, and make sure we have availability on your preferred date.
If you’re moving during the slower months (late fall through early spring), you can sometimes book with less notice. But summer and end-of-month dates fill up fast because that’s when most people move.
That said, we’ve handled moves with just a few days’ notice when our schedule allows. If you’re in a bind, call anyway. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can accommodate you or not. The worst thing you can do is wait until the last minute and then have no options because every moving company in Setauket is already booked.
