You’re not paying for boxes and tape. You’re paying for time back in your life and peace of mind that your grandmother’s china won’t arrive in pieces.
When professionals handle your packing, a typical three-bedroom home gets packed in six to eight hours. That’s what would’ve taken you an entire weekend—or longer if you’re working full-time, managing kids, or just don’t want to spend your limited free time wrapping dishes.
The bigger benefit? Everything arrives intact. We use the right materials for each item type—not whatever you grabbed from the liquor store. Glassware gets divided and cushioned. Electronics get anti-static wrap. Artwork gets corner protection and proper boxing. It’s not complicated, but it requires knowing what you’re doing.
You also get labeled boxes that make sense when you’re unpacking. No mystery boxes. No “miscellaneous kitchen stuff” that could be anything. Just clear organization that makes move-in day faster and less chaotic.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned moving company that’s been serving Huntington and the broader Long Island area since 2009. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve packed everything from studio apartments to multi-level homes to commercial offices.
Huntington has a mix of historic homes, waterfront properties, and modern developments—each with different packing challenges. Older homes often have narrow staircases and tight doorways. Waterfront homes have humidity concerns for certain materials. Newer builds might have open floor plans but lots of fragile built-ins. We’ve worked in all of them.
What matters most is that we show up on time, work efficiently, and treat your belongings like they’re ours. No drama. No surprises. Just straightforward moving services Long Island residents can count on when they need help getting from one place to another.
First, you get a free quote. We’ll ask about your home size, what needs packing, and whether you have specialty items like pianos, pool tables, or fragile antiques. This helps us bring the right materials and plan the right crew size.
On packing day, we show up with everything needed—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, corner protectors, and specialty containers for items like mirrors or flat-screens. You don’t need to prep anything unless you want to pack personal items yourself (which many people do).
We pack room by room, labeling each box with contents and destination room. Fragile items get extra cushioning. Heavy items go in smaller boxes so they’re easier to carry. Lightweight items go in larger boxes to maximize space. It’s basic physics, but it makes a difference.
If you’re doing a full-service move with us, we load everything directly onto the truck after packing. If you just need packing services and you’re handling the move separately, we’ll stack everything neatly and clearly so it’s ready to go. Either way, you’ll know exactly what’s packed and where it is.

We handle residential packing Long Island families need for local moves within Suffolk and Nassau counties, as well as long-distance relocations. That includes full-home packing, partial packing (just the kitchen or just fragile items), and specialty packing for items that need extra care.
For commercial packing Long Island businesses rely on, we pack offices, retail spaces, and small commercial facilities. This includes electronics, filing systems, inventory, and furniture. We work around your schedule to minimize downtime—evenings and weekends if that’s what works.
Huntington’s housing market averages between $400,000 and $500,000, which means most homes here contain valuable furniture, electronics, and personal items worth protecting. We’re not tossing things in boxes and hoping for the best. Every item gets appropriate materials and handling based on what it is and where it’s going.
We also offer storage coordination if there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates. Packed items can go directly into climate-controlled storage, and we’ll deliver them when you’re ready. It’s one less thing to coordinate on your own during an already complicated process.
Cost depends on how much you’re packing and how complex the job is. A full three-bedroom home typically runs between $800 and $1,500 for packing labor and materials. Smaller jobs—like packing just a kitchen or just fragile items—cost less. Larger homes or homes with lots of specialty items cost more.
We give you a free quote upfront so there’s no guessing. We’ll ask about square footage, how many rooms need packing, and whether you have items like pianos, antiques, or large artwork that require specialty packing. That gives us enough information to give you an accurate estimate.
Materials are included in our packing services, so you’re not buying boxes and tape separately. We bring commercial-grade packing supplies—not the flimsy stuff from big-box stores. If you’re also hiring us for the move itself, packing services often get bundled at a better rate than booking them separately.
Most people prefer to be home, at least at the start, so they can point out anything that’s not getting moved or anything that needs special attention. After that, it’s up to you. Some clients stay the whole time. Others leave and come back when we’re done.
If you’re not able to be there, we can work with that too—as long as we have access and clear instructions about what’s getting packed and what’s staying. We’ll walk through everything during the quote so we’re on the same page before packing day.
The advantage of being there is you can answer questions in real time. “Does this go or stay?” “Do you want this wrapped separately?” Small clarifications like that keep things moving smoothly. But if you’ve got work or other commitments, we’re professionals—we’ll handle it and check in with you if anything’s unclear.
Yes. Fragile items are exactly why most people hire packing services in the first place. We pack glassware, china, artwork, mirrors, electronics, and collectibles every week. It’s not our first time wrapping a wine glass or boxing a flat-screen TV.
Each item type gets specific materials. Dishes get wrapped individually and stacked vertically (not flat) so weight distributes properly. Glassware gets dividers. Artwork and mirrors get corner protectors and custom-sized boxes when needed. Electronics get anti-static wrap and original packaging when available, or appropriate substitutes when it’s not.
We’re licensed and insured, which matters if something does get damaged. It’s rare, but if it happens, you’re covered. That’s not the case when you pack yourself or hire an unlicensed crew off Craigslist. Safe packing services mean proper materials, proper technique, and proper accountability if anything goes wrong.
Two months ahead is ideal, especially during peak moving season from May through September. Huntington’s a busy area, and moving companies book up fast when the weather’s good and school’s out.
That said, we’ve handled same-day packing requests when someone’s previous movers cancelled or their plans changed suddenly. It’s not ideal, but we’ll do what we can to accommodate you if you’re in a bind. The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have with scheduling and crew availability.
If you’re planning a long-distance move or you’ve got a complicated packing job—like a four-bedroom house with a full attic and basement—give yourself extra lead time. Rushing a packing job leads to mistakes, and mistakes lead to broken belongings or disorganized boxes that make unpacking miserable. A little planning goes a long way.
We offer whatever level of packing help you need. Some people just want us to handle the kitchen because that’s the most time-consuming room. Others want us to pack fragile items and they’ll handle clothes and linens themselves. Both options work.
Partial packing is common when you’re trying to control costs or you simply prefer to pack personal items yourself. Most clients pack bedrooms and bathrooms on their own and hire us for kitchens, living rooms, and anything breakable or awkward to pack.
We can also do a hybrid approach where we provide the packing materials and you do the work, or where we pack everything except a few specific items you want to transport yourself. The point is to make your move easier, not to force you into a one-size-fits-all package. Tell us what you need, and we’ll make it happen.
We’re fully licensed and insured, which means you’re protected if something breaks. Damage is rare when items are packed properly, but accidents can happen during loading, transport, or unloading. If something does get damaged, you file a claim and we handle it according to our insurance policy.
Most damage happens when people pack their own belongings incorrectly—using too little cushioning, overpacking boxes, or using weak boxes that collapse under weight. When we pack, we control those variables. Proper materials, proper weight distribution, proper labeling. It’s not a guarantee nothing will ever break, but it’s as close as you’ll get.
If you’re particularly concerned about high-value items—like expensive artwork or antiques—let us know during the quote. We can discuss additional insurance options or specialty handling procedures for those specific pieces. Transparency upfront prevents problems later.
