You’re not wondering if the movers will show up. You’re not getting surprise fees when they arrive. You’re not scrambling to find someone who can handle your piano or that antique dresser your other moving company refused to touch.
Your belongings arrive at your new place the same way they left the old one. Nothing’s scratched, nothing’s missing, and you didn’t spend the day wondering if you made the right call.
The price you were quoted is the price you pay. The timeline you were given is the timeline that happens. And if something changes on your end—tighter schedule, extra items, last-minute cleanout—you’re working with a team that adjusts without making it your problem.
That’s what happens when you work with movers who’ve been doing this in East Quogue since before half the fly-by-night companies in your search results even existed.
All Terrain Moving was started by two brothers who got tired of watching people get burned by companies that lowball quotes and disappear on moving day. Matt still answers the phone when you call for a quote. That’s not a marketing line—it’s how we’ve run things for over 15 years.
We’re based in Islandia and we’ve been moving families and businesses across Suffolk County, Nassau County, and the Hamptons long enough to know what actually matters. You need someone who shows up on time, loads the truck correctly, and doesn’t treat your stuff like it’s headed to a landfill.
East Quogue’s been changing. More families moving out from the city, more downsizing, more people dealing with tighter timelines and higher stakes. We’ve handled all of it—emergency moves when another company cancels, specialty items most movers won’t touch, full cleanouts when you’re selling a property and need it empty yesterday.
You call or fill out the form. Matt walks through what you’re moving, where it’s going, and what kind of timeline you’re working with. If you’ve got specialty items—piano, pool table, safe, antiques—he’ll ask the right questions so there’s no confusion later.
You get a quote. Not a range, not a “we’ll see when we get there”—an actual number based on what you told us. If your situation is straightforward, that’s your price. If things change between now and moving day, we talk about it before anyone shows up.
On moving day, the crew arrives when they’re supposed to. They walk through the job with you, confirm what’s going and what’s staying, and get to work. Everything gets loaded with the kind of care that keeps your stuff intact during the drive—because we know how to pack a truck so nothing shifts when we hit a pothole on Montauk Highway.
At your new place, everything gets unloaded where you want it. Beds go in bedrooms, boxes go in the right rooms, and if something needs to be assembled or positioned, we handle it. You’re not left standing in an empty house wondering what just happened.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a licensed and insured moving company that handles residential and commercial jobs. That means apartments, houses, offices, storage units—whatever needs to move. We bring the truck, the equipment, and the crew. You bring the address.
If you need packing, we do that too. Not just throwing things in boxes—actual packing that keeps your dishes, glassware, and anything fragile in one piece. We’ve seen what happens when people try to pack a kitchen the night before a move. It doesn’t end well.
Junk removal’s part of the deal if you need it. Old furniture that’s not making the trip, appliances you’re replacing, garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts—we haul it. You don’t need to coordinate two different companies or wonder who’s responsible for what.
Specialty items get handled correctly. Pianos, gun safes, marble tables, artwork—things that weigh more than your couch and cost more than your car. We’ve moved enough of them to know what actually works and what’s just going to damage your floors and your investment.
East Quogue’s close enough to the Hamptons that we deal with the seasonal traffic surges, the narrow driveways, the buildings with tight staircases. We’ve moved people out of summer rentals in August and into new homes during the winter when half the town’s empty. The location doesn’t surprise us.
Most local moves in East Quogue run between $400 and $800 depending on how much you’re moving and how far it’s going. A one-bedroom apartment with minimal furniture sits on the lower end. A three-bedroom house with a full basement and garage pushes higher.
The variables that actually affect price: stairs, long carries from the truck to the door, specialty items that need extra hands or equipment, and whether you need packing services. If you’re moving during peak season—May through September—availability gets tighter, but pricing stays consistent if you book ahead.
We don’t charge for drive time between your old place and your new one if you’re staying local. We don’t tack on fees for using our dollies or blankets. The quote you get upfront reflects the job you described, and if something major changes on moving day, we talk about it before proceeding.
Yes, and we’ve built a reputation for it. If another moving company cancels on you, if your closing date suddenly moved up, if there’s a family emergency—we’ll do everything we can to fit you in.
Same-day moves depend on crew availability, so calling as early in the day as possible gives you the best shot. We’ve had people call at 8 a.m. and be moved by 3 p.m. We’ve also had people call at noon and still make it work.
The process is the same: quick phone conversation to understand what you’re moving, a quote based on that conversation, and a crew dispatched as soon as we can get them there. It’s not always possible—sometimes we’re fully booked—but we answer the phone and give you a straight answer either way.
We move pianos, pool tables, gun safes, marble furniture, antiques, and anything else that makes most movers nervous. Specialty items aren’t an upsell for us—they’re part of what we do.
Pianos need to be moved correctly or you’re risking internal damage that costs more to fix than the move itself. We use the right equipment, the right number of people, and the right technique. Upright pianos, baby grands, spinets—we’ve moved all of them through tight doorways, down staircases, and into homes where the only access point is a second-floor window.
Pool tables get disassembled, moved, and reassembled if that’s what the job requires. Safes get moved without tearing up your floors. Artwork and antiques get wrapped and handled like they’re worth what you paid for them. If you’ve got something that doesn’t fit the standard moving category, call us. We’ll tell you exactly how we’d handle it and what it’ll cost.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong.
Insurance protects you if there’s damage during the move. Licensing means we’re operating legally and held to industry standards. A lot of the cheaper options you’ll find online are guys with a truck and no coverage—which is fine until they drop your dresser down the stairs and you have no recourse.
We carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation. If a crew member gets hurt on the job, that’s covered. If something gets damaged during the move, we handle it. You’re not signing a waiver that absolves us of responsibility, and you’re not dealing with a company that disappears after the job’s done.
We cover all of Suffolk County, Nassau County, and parts of Queens. That includes the Hamptons, the North Fork, and everything in between.
If you’re moving from East Quogue to another town on Long Island, that’s a standard local move. If you’re moving from the city out to East Quogue, we handle that too. We’ve done moves from Manhattan to Montauk, from Queens to Quogue, and everything that falls along the way.
Long-distance moves outside the tri-state area get handled on a case-by-case basis depending on timing and logistics. But if your move involves any part of Long Island, we’ve been there, we know the roads, and we know how to navigate the traffic patterns that turn a 30-minute drive into an hour during summer weekends.
We provide full packing services if you need them. Some people want to pack everything themselves. Some people want us to handle the entire kitchen and all the fragile items. Some people start packing and realize halfway through they’re in over their head.
We bring the boxes, the packing paper, the bubble wrap, and the tape. We pack room by room, label everything clearly, and load it directly onto the truck. Dishes get wrapped individually. Glassware gets cushioned. Electronics get protected. Nothing’s just thrown into a box and hoped for the best.
Packing services cost extra, but they also save you time and reduce the chance of something breaking in transit. If you’re moving on a tight timeline or you’ve got a lot of breakables, it’s worth considering. And if you only need help with specific items—china cabinet, wine collection, home office setup—we can do partial packing too.
