You’re not wondering if the crew will show up on time. You’re not getting hit with surprise fees after your stuff is already loaded. You’re not dealing with damaged furniture or a company that goes silent when something breaks.
Instead, your belongings arrive intact. The timeline you were quoted is the timeline that happens. And if something does go wrong, someone picks up the phone and makes it right.
That’s the difference between hiring movers who treat this like just another gig and working with a local moving company that knows Farmingville’s market, understands what you’re paying for housing here, and respects what’s at stake when you’re trusting someone with everything you own. Most of our crews finish a standard 2-3 bedroom home in Farmingville in 6-8 hours. What would take you several weekends gets handled in a day, without the back pain or the favors you’d owe friends.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal operates out of Islandia and covers Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. We’re licensed in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, fully insured, and we’ve handled enough moves in Farmingville to know the difference between a quick job and one that needs extra care.
Farmingville’s housing market jumped 35.3% in the last year, with median home prices hitting $596K. That means you’re likely moving into a place you worked hard to afford, and the last thing you need is a crew that treats your stuff like it’s disposable. We handle pianos, pool tables, safes, fragile items—whatever needs to go from point A to point B without getting wrecked in the process.
Matt, the owner, answers the phone. If something goes sideways, you’re not dealing with a call center. You’re talking to someone who can actually fix the problem.
You call or fill out a form. We ask about square footage, what you’re moving, any specialty items, and where you’re headed. You get an upfront estimate—no bait-and-switch pricing, no vague ranges that balloon later.
On moving day, the crew shows up on time. They walk through with you, confirm what’s going and what’s staying, and get to work. Everything gets wrapped, loaded, and secured properly. If you’ve got items that need professional packing, we handle that too—most insurance policies only cover items packed by licensed movers, so DIY packing might save money upfront, but one shattered heirloom costs more than hiring help from the start.
Once we’re at the new place, everything gets unloaded where you want it. The crew doesn’t disappear the second the truck is empty. They make sure you’re set before they leave. If you need junk removal at either location—old furniture, basement cleanouts, whatever didn’t make the cut—we handle that too. Same crew, same day if you want. No coordinating with multiple companies.

This isn’t a bare-bones operation where you do all the heavy lifting and we just drive the truck. We offer full-service moving, which means packing, loading, transport, unloading, and placement. If you want to pack yourself, that’s fine too—we’re flexible.
Farmingville’s real estate market is pulling in first-time buyers, city transplants, and families chasing good schools without going broke. If you’re moving here from Brooklyn or Queens, you already know what a nightmare moving day can be. If you’re downsizing from a bigger Long Island town, you’re probably dealing with decades of accumulated stuff. Either way, you need a crew that can handle volume without cutting corners.
We also do junk removal—basements, attics, garages, estate cleanouts. If you’re clearing out a house in Farmingville before a sale or dealing with the aftermath of a relative’s estate, we remove what needs to go and haul it away. You don’t have to rent a dumpster or make six trips to the dump yourself. One call, one crew, done.
Same-day service is available if your timeline gets tight. Maybe your closing date moved up, maybe your lease ends sooner than expected—whatever the reason, if you need it done fast, call and we’ll see what we can do.
It depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and what services you need. A local move within Farmingville for a 2-3 bedroom home typically runs between $800 and $1,500, but that’s a rough range—not a quote.
If you need packing services, specialty item handling, or junk removal, that adds to the cost. If you’re moving during peak season (May through September), prices tend to run higher across the board. The best way to get an accurate number is to call and walk through the details.
What you should watch out for: companies that give you a lowball estimate over the phone without asking real questions. If someone quotes you $500 for a full-house move without seeing what you’ve got, that’s a red flag. The price will jump on moving day, and by then your stuff is already loaded.
You can pack yourself if you want to save money, but there’s a trade-off. Most moving insurance policies only cover items that were packed by licensed professionals. If you pack your own boxes and something breaks in transit, you’re likely not getting reimbursed.
If you’re moving high-value or fragile items—artwork, antiques, electronics, glassware—professional packing is worth the cost. We know how to wrap and secure things properly. You might think you’re being careful, but there’s a reason we use specific materials and techniques.
That said, if you’re moving mostly clothing, linens, and non-fragile items, packing yourself is fine. Just use sturdy boxes, don’t overpack them, and label everything clearly. The crew will still load and transport everything safely—you’re just taking on the prep work yourself.
For a standard 2-3 bedroom home in Farmingville, expect 6-8 hours from start to finish. That includes loading, transport, and unloading. Smaller apartments or studios might take 3-4 hours. Larger homes with basements, attics, and garages can stretch into 10+ hours depending on volume.
What slows things down: narrow staircases, lack of parking, heavy specialty items, or last-minute additions that weren’t part of the original estimate. If you’ve got a piano, a gun safe, or a pool table, mention that upfront—it affects both time and cost.
What speeds things up: having everything packed and ready to go before the crew arrives, clearing pathways, and knowing exactly what’s going and what’s staying. The more organized you are on your end, the faster the job goes.
First, make sure they’re licensed and insured. In New York, moving companies need to be licensed by the Department of Transportation. If they can’t provide proof, walk away.
Second, check reviews—but read them carefully. A few bad reviews aren’t a dealbreaker, but consistent complaints about the same issues (price gouging, damaged items, no-shows) are. Look for patterns, not one-offs.
Third, get everything in writing. The estimate, the services included, the timeline, the insurance coverage—all of it. If a company won’t put it in writing, that’s a problem. And if the estimate changes drastically on moving day without a clear reason, that’s a bigger problem.
Fourth, ask about their process for handling damage or disputes. If something breaks, who do you call? How long does it take to file a claim? If they dodge the question or give you a vague answer, that tells you what you need to know.
Yes, if we have availability. Same-day service is for situations where your timeline got compressed—closing date moved up, lease ended early, emergency relocation, whatever the reason.
Call as early in the day as possible. If we’ve got a crew available and the job is within our coverage area, we’ll make it happen. Keep in mind that same-day jobs are first-come, first-served, so there’s no guarantee—but we do our best to accommodate when we can.
Same-day pricing is the same as scheduled pricing. We don’t upcharge just because you’re in a bind. The cost depends on the size of the move, the distance, and what services you need—same as any other job.
Yes. Pianos, pool tables, gun safes, antiques, artwork—we handle all of it. These items require different equipment and techniques than standard furniture, so it’s important to mention them upfront when you’re getting an estimate.
Pianos, for example, need to be properly wrapped, secured, and sometimes disassembled depending on the model and the space. Pool tables have to be taken apart, moved in sections, and reassembled at the new location. Safes are just heavy—really heavy—and require the right equipment to move without damaging floors or walls.
If you’ve got specialty items, don’t try to move them yourself. The risk of injury or damage isn’t worth it. Let a crew with the right tools and experience handle it. We’ve done it enough times to know what works and what doesn’t.
