Hear from Our Customers
You get a moving team that shows up on time, calls before we arrive, and treats your belongings like they matter. Your furniture doesn’t get damaged because someone rushed the job or didn’t know how to handle a tight stairwell. Your piano gets moved by people who’ve done it hundreds of times, not someone figuring it out on the fly.
The price you’re quoted is the price you pay. No hidden fees tacked on at the end. No “oh, that’s actually extra” conversations when the truck is already loaded.
You’re not scrambling to find another company the day before your move because someone cancelled. You’re not dealing with a crew that doesn’t speak to each other or coordinate properly. You’re working with a family-owned local moving company that’s built its reputation on doing what we say we’ll do.
All Terrain Moving started as a family business serving Suffolk County, and we’ve stayed that way. We know Bay Shore homes—the older construction, the narrow doorways, the basement stairs that require an extra set of hands and some real planning.
We’re licensed and insured, which should be standard but somehow isn’t always. We’ve moved single pieces of furniture and entire 10,000 square foot homes. We’ve handled emergency moves with same-day service and planned relocations months in advance.
Bay Shore’s housing market moves fast right now—57% of homes sold in under 30 days last summer. That means tight timelines and pressure to get everything done quickly. We’re set up for that. We’re also set up for the moves that take more time, more care, or more coordination than most companies want to deal with.
You call or reach out online. We ask about what you’re moving, where you’re going, and what timeline you’re working with. If you need packing services, we talk through that. If you’ve got specialty items like a pool table or a safe, we make sure we bring the right equipment and the right number of people.
We give you a clear price. Not a range. Not a “depends on the day” estimate. An actual number based on what you told us.
On moving day, we call before we arrive. We show up with the truck, the equipment, and a crew that knows what they’re doing. We load everything carefully, secure it properly, and move it to your new place. If something needs extra protection or special handling, we do it without charging you extra for common sense.
Once everything’s unloaded and placed where you want it, we make sure you’re satisfied before we leave. If you also need junk removal—old furniture, boxes, whatever you’re not taking with you—we handle that too. One company, one conversation, one bill.

We handle residential and commercial moves throughout Bay Shore and the surrounding Long Island area. That includes local moves within Suffolk and Nassau County, and we’ve got the setup for jobs that need more distance too.
Packing services are available if you’d rather not spend weeks wrapping dishes and boxing up your entire house. We bring the materials, pack everything properly, and label it so you actually know what’s in each box when you get to the other end.
Specialty moving is a big part of what we do. Pianos, gun safes, antiques, oversized furniture—things that require more than just muscle. Bay Shore homes, especially the older ones near the water, come with their own challenges. Narrow hallways, steep stairs, tricky angles. We’ve navigated all of it.
Junk removal runs alongside our moving services. If you’re downsizing, clearing out a basement, or just getting rid of things you don’t want to bring to the new place, we take care of it. You don’t need to coordinate with multiple companies or make extra trips to the dump.
The Bay Shore market is competitive right now. Homes are selling fast, and that puts pressure on your timeline. We’re used to working within tight windows, and we’ve built our scheduling to accommodate same-day requests when possible.
It depends on the size of your move, how much you’re taking, and whether you need additional services like packing or specialty item handling. A small apartment move is going to cost less than a full house. Moving a piano or a gun safe adds to the total because it requires specific equipment and expertise.
What matters more than the base price is whether you’re getting an honest quote upfront. A lot of companies lowball the estimate to get you to book, then hit you with extra charges on moving day. We don’t do that. When we give you a price, that’s what you pay unless you add services or change the scope of the job.
The other thing to watch for is what’s included. Some companies charge separately for things like stairs, long carries, or protective wrapping. We build that into the quote so there’s no confusion later. If you want a clear breakdown of what your specific move will cost, the fastest way is to reach out with details about what you’re moving and where it’s going.
Yes, when our schedule allows it. We keep flexibility built into our calendar specifically for last-minute situations—whether that’s a closing date that moved up, another company cancelling on you, or an emergency that requires a fast move.
Same-day service depends on crew availability and the size of the job. If you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment and call us in the morning, there’s a good chance we can get to you that afternoon. If it’s a larger move or requires specialty equipment, we’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it work or if next-day is more realistic.
Bay Shore’s housing market moves quickly right now, and we’ve seen more people needing faster turnarounds because of it. We’ve handled plenty of situations where someone needed to be out of a house within 24 hours. If you’re in that spot, call us directly. We’ll let you know immediately whether we can accommodate it.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured, which protects both you and us if something unexpected happens. That should be standard across the industry, but it’s not always the case. Some smaller operations run without proper coverage, which puts you at risk if something gets damaged or someone gets hurt on your property.
Our insurance covers your belongings during the move. If something breaks because of our error, we handle it. That’s different from companies that make you sign a waiver releasing them from all liability, which is a red flag.
Being licensed means we meet state requirements for operating as a professional moving company. It also means we’re accountable if something goes wrong. You can verify our credentials, file a complaint if needed, and have recourse beyond just leaving a bad review. When you’re trusting someone with everything you own, that accountability matters.
Yes. We move pianos, gun safes, pool tables, antiques, and other items that require more than standard moving techniques. These aren’t things you can just load onto a dolly and roll out the door. They need proper equipment, the right number of people, and experience with how to navigate tight spaces without damaging the item or your home.
Pianos are particularly tricky. They’re heavy, awkwardly balanced, and expensive to repair if something goes wrong. We’ve moved upright pianos, baby grands, and full concert grands through Bay Shore homes with narrow staircases and doorways that barely clear the width. We use piano boards, straps, and padding designed specifically for that purpose.
Safes are another common request. A gun safe can weigh 500 to 1,000 pounds depending on the model, and moving one down a basement staircase isn’t a two-person job. We bring the crew size and equipment needed to do it safely. If you’ve got specialty items, mention them when you reach out so we can plan accordingly and give you an accurate quote.
We cover Bay Shore and the surrounding Long Island communities throughout Suffolk and Nassau County. That includes towns like Islip, Brentwood, West Islip, Brightwaters, Deer Park, and others in the immediate area. We also handle moves throughout Long Island more broadly, whether you’re going from Bay Shore to the North Shore or out to the Hamptons.
If your move is within the region, we’re set up for it. If you’re moving farther—say, out of state or to another part of New York—we can handle that too, though the logistics and pricing will be different. The key is that we’re familiar with the area. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the common challenges that come with moving in and around Bay Shore.
Local knowledge makes a difference. We’ve dealt with the older homes near the water, the newer developments further inland, and everything in between. We know which streets have parking restrictions, which buildings require reservations for moving trucks, and how to navigate the quirks of Long Island real estate. If you’re moving locally, that familiarity speeds things up and reduces complications.
We offer both. If you want to pack everything yourself, we’ll show up on moving day and handle the loading, transport, and unloading. If you’d rather have us take care of the packing, we’ll bring the materials and do it for you. Most people fall somewhere in between—they pack the easy stuff and have us handle the kitchen, fragile items, or rooms they didn’t get to.
Packing services save time, but they also reduce the risk of damage. We know how to wrap dishes so they don’t break, how to protect furniture so it doesn’t get scratched, and how to pack a box so it doesn’t collapse under weight. If you’re moving expensive or sentimental items, professional packing is worth considering.
We also provide the materials—boxes, tape, bubble wrap, padding—so you don’t have to hunt down supplies or guess how much you’ll need. If you’re not sure whether you want full packing or partial, we can talk through what makes sense based on your timeline and what you’re moving. The goal is to make the process as easy as possible without forcing services you don’t need.
