You don’t spend three days wrapping dishes in old newspaper, hoping they survive the trip. You don’t throw out your back lifting boxes you packed too heavy. And you don’t arrive at your new place wondering which box has the coffee maker.
When packing is handled by people who’ve done it thousands of times, your fragile items actually make it intact. Your boxes are organized, labeled, and light enough to carry safely. Everything has a system, and unpacking doesn’t feel like solving a puzzle you didn’t want to play.
That’s what professional packing services in Montauk give you—time back, stress off your plate, and confidence that nothing you care about gets damaged in transit. It’s not about convenience. It’s about protecting what you’ve worked for and making sure your move doesn’t cost you more than it should.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. is a family-owned business that’s been serving Montauk, the Hamptons, and Long Island since 2009. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve packed everything from studio apartments to waterfront estates.
Montauk isn’t like the rest of Long Island. Seasonal homes, narrow beach access roads, high-value properties—it all requires a different approach. We know the area, we know the logistics, and we know what it takes to move someone here without drama.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for experience, proper materials, and people who won’t rush through your belongings just to get to the next job. If that matters to you, we’re the right call.
We start with a walkthrough—either in person or over the phone—so we know what we’re dealing with. Fragile items, bulky furniture, specialty pieces like artwork or antiques. Everything gets noted so we bring the right materials and the right crew.
On packing day, we show up with commercial-grade boxes, padding, tape, and wrapping materials. Not the flimsy stuff from a hardware store. We pack room by room, label every box with contents and destination room, and keep a running inventory so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
Fragile items get extra attention—custom cushioning, double boxing if needed, and clear labeling so movers know to handle them carefully. Heavy items like books get packed into smaller boxes so they’re actually safe to lift. Everything is loaded strategically so weight is distributed and nothing shifts during transport.
If you’re doing a full-service move with us, we unpack on the other end and place items where you want them. If you’re just using our packing services in Montauk, everything is ready to go when your movers arrive—organized, protected, and good to load.

We handle residential packing Long Island-wide, from single rooms to entire homes. That includes kitchens, which most people dread because of all the breakables. We also pack offices, retail spaces, and commercial moves—filing systems, electronics, inventory, all of it.
You get all the materials as part of the service. Boxes in multiple sizes, bubble wrap, packing paper, foam padding, furniture blankets, and heavy-duty tape. We also disassemble furniture if needed and reassemble it at your new location.
Montauk has a high concentration of second homes and seasonal properties, and we’ve worked with plenty of clients who are relocating between here and the city or out of state. We understand the coordination that takes—timing, storage needs, and making sure high-value items are insured and documented properly.
If you’ve got specialty items—pianos, safes, pool tables, oversized art—we have the equipment and experience to pack and move them without damage. And if you need same-day service because your timeline just collapsed, we can make that happen. We’ve been the last-minute moving company for plenty of people who thought they had more time than they did.
It depends on how much you need packed and how complicated the job is. A one-bedroom apartment is obviously less than a four-bedroom house with a full basement and garage. Specialty items like fine art, antiques, or a wine collection will add to the cost because they require custom materials and extra care.
We price based on time, materials, and crew size. Most packing jobs for an average home take between four and eight hours with a two-person crew. You can get a free quote by calling us or filling out a form on our site—we’ll ask a few questions about your space and give you a ballpark number.
One thing to keep in mind: professional packing often saves you money in the long run. Insurance coverage is better when items are packed by professionals, and you’re way less likely to deal with damaged belongings or injury from lifting boxes you packed too heavy. It’s an investment in a smoother, safer move.
No. We bring everything—boxes in all sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, foam padding, furniture blankets, and tape. All of it is commercial-grade, not the thin stuff that rips halfway through a move.
If you’ve already started packing and have some boxes ready, that’s fine. We’ll work with what you’ve got and fill in the gaps. But if you’re hiring us for full packing services in Montauk, you don’t need to buy or gather anything. We handle it.
The materials are included in the cost of the service, so there’s no surprise bill at the end for supplies. Everything we use is designed to protect your belongings during loading, transport, and unloading—not just get them into a box.
For a typical three-bedroom home, plan on a full day with a two-person crew—somewhere between six and eight hours. Smaller spaces like apartments or condos can be done in half a day. Larger homes or properties with a lot of specialty items might take a day and a half.
The timeline depends on how much stuff you have, how organized it is, and whether there are any complicated items like chandeliers, mounted TVs, or built-in shelving that needs to be disassembled. If you’ve already sorted through and donated or tossed things you don’t need, that speeds things up.
We can also work around your schedule. If you need packing done over a weekend or split across multiple days because you’re still living in the space, we’ll make it work. And if you’re in a time crunch, we can bring a bigger crew to get it done faster.
We’ll pack just about anything, but there are a few things we can’t transport for safety or legal reasons. Hazardous materials like paint, propane tanks, cleaning chemicals, and anything flammable need to be disposed of or moved separately. Perishable food also doesn’t make sense to pack unless you’re moving locally and unpacking the same day.
Valuables like jewelry, important documents, cash, or medications—you’ll want to keep those with you during the move. Not because we’re not trustworthy, but because those are things you don’t want out of your sight or sitting in a truck.
Everything else is fair game. Clothes, kitchenware, books, electronics, furniture, garage items, kids’ toys—we’ll pack it, label it, and load it. If you’re not sure whether something should be packed or handled separately, just ask during the walkthrough. We’ll give you a straight answer.
Yes. If you’re doing a full-service move with us, unpacking is part of the package. We’ll unbox everything, place items where you want them, and haul away all the packing materials so you’re not left with a mountain of cardboard and paper.
If you only hired us for packing and you’re using a different company for the actual move, we can still come back and unpack for you. It’s a separate service, but plenty of people take us up on it because unpacking is just as time-consuming as packing—and after a long move, most people don’t want to deal with it.
Unpacking also gives us a chance to make sure everything arrived in good condition. If something did get damaged in transit, we’ll document it so you can file a claim with your moving insurance. It’s one less thing you have to manage when you’re already trying to settle into a new place.
Yes, especially for smaller moves. If you’ve got a one- or two-bedroom place and a flexible timeline, we can pack in the morning and load the truck in the afternoon. It’s more efficient for local moves within Montauk or nearby towns on Long Island.
For larger homes, we usually recommend packing the day before the move. It gives us time to do the job right without rushing, and it makes loading day faster and less chaotic. But if you’re in a bind—maybe your closing date moved up or your lease ends sooner than expected—we can bring a bigger crew and knock it all out in one day.
We specialize in same-day moving services Long Island-wide, so if you’re dealing with a last-minute situation, call us. We’ve handled plenty of emergency moves where people had hours, not days, to get everything packed and out the door. It’s not ideal, but we’ll make it happen if that’s what you need.
