Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting someone to load boxes. You’re getting a team that understands what’s at stake when you move.
Your time matters. That’s why we show up when we say we will, work efficiently, and don’t stretch a four-hour job into eight. We’ve moved everything from studio apartments in downtown Melville to 10,000 square foot homes across Long Island, and we know how to pace a job.
Your belongings matter. Pianos, antiques, pool tables, safes—we handle specialty items daily. We protect your floors, wrap your furniture properly, and load the truck like we’re moving our own stuff. Because scratched hardwood or a damaged heirloom isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a violation of trust.
Your budget matters. We give you a real quote upfront, not a lowball estimate that doubles when the truck arrives. No surprise fees based on weight. No hidden charges for stairs or mileage. You know what you’re paying before we touch a single box.
The result? You’re unpacked in your new place without the horror stories your friends warned you about.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. operates out of Islandia, serving Melville and the surrounding Nassau and Suffolk County communities. We’re not a national franchise with rotating crews. We’re a local team that knows these neighborhoods.
Melville sits right in the heart of Long Island’s corporate corridor, home to major companies and a steady flow of professionals relocating for work. We’ve moved executives into those luxury communities off Route 110, young families into starter homes near the school district, and retirees downsizing from houses they’ve lived in for decades. Each move is different, and we adjust accordingly.
We’re licensed, insured, and registered with USDOT. More importantly, we answer our phone. You won’t get ghosted after booking or deal with a sales rep who disappears once they have your deposit.
First, you call or contact us for a quote. We ask about your space, what you’re moving, any specialty items, and where you’re headed. We give you an honest estimate based on what you tell us—not a bait-and-switch number designed to get you on the calendar.
Once you book, we confirm your date and arrival window. If something changes on our end (rare, but it happens), we call you immediately. No surprises on moving day.
On the day of your move, our crew arrives with the truck and equipment. We do a quick walkthrough with you to confirm the plan, identify any items that need extra care, and answer last-minute questions. Then we get to work.
We wrap furniture, protect doorways and railings, and load the truck strategically so nothing shifts during transport. If you’re moving locally in Melville or across Nassau County, we often complete the entire job in one trip. For longer distances or larger homes, we plan accordingly.
At your new place, we unload, place furniture where you want it, and make sure everything arrived in the same condition it left. You do a final walkthrough, and we’re done. No lingering, no upselling storage services you don’t need.

You get a full-service moving company that handles residential and commercial moves of any size. That means local moves within Melville and Long Island, long-distance moves across state lines, and everything in between.
We provide packing services if you need them. Some people want to pack their own boxes to save money—totally fine. Others are swamped with work or dealing with a tight timeline and would rather hand it off. We’ll pack your kitchen, wrap your artwork, and box up your entire home if that’s what you need.
We also handle junk removal, which matters more than you’d think. When you’re moving out of a house you’ve lived in for years, there’s always stuff that doesn’t make sense to bring. Old furniture, broken appliances, garage clutter you’ve been meaning to deal with. We can haul it away during the same appointment, so you’re not coordinating two separate companies.
Melville’s housing market has been active, with plenty of NYC professionals moving to Long Island for more space and better schools. That means competition for moving dates, especially during peak summer months. We offer same-day and emergency service when our schedule allows, which has saved more than a few people when their original movers canceled last minute.
Specialty items get special attention. We’ve moved grand pianos up narrow staircases, relocated pool tables without damaging the slate, and transported gun safes that weigh more than most motorcycles. If it’s heavy, fragile, or awkward, we’ve probably moved it before.
Local moves in Melville typically range from a few hundred dollars for a small apartment to a couple thousand for a large house, depending on how much you’re moving and how long it takes. Long-distance moves cost more because of mileage, time, and fuel.
We base our pricing on the scope of the job, not on inflated weight estimates that surprise you later. When you call for a quote, we’ll ask specific questions about your home size, number of rooms, any specialty items, and your destination. That lets us give you a realistic number upfront.
The biggest cost variable is usually time. A one-bedroom apartment with minimal furniture might take three hours. A four-bedroom house with a full basement and garage could take eight or more. Packing services, specialty item handling, and junk removal add to the total, but we discuss all of that before you book. You won’t get hit with mystery charges on moving day.
Yes, when our schedule allows. We’ve handled plenty of emergency moves when someone’s original movers canceled at the last second or their closing date suddenly moved up.
Same-day service depends on crew availability and how far you’re moving. If you’re staying local in Melville or moving within Nassau County, there’s a better chance we can fit you in. Long-distance moves require more planning, but we’ll do what we can to accommodate urgent situations.
Call us as early in the day as possible if you need same-day help. Mornings give us the most flexibility to shuffle the schedule. We can’t guarantee availability every time, but we’ve pulled off enough last-minute moves to know it’s worth asking. The worst we can say is no, and even then, we’ll try to refer you to someone who can help.
Yes. We’re registered with the USDOT and carry full liability and equipment coverage. That’s not optional in this industry—it’s required if you’re operating legally.
Insurance matters because accidents happen, even with experienced crews. A piece of furniture gets scratched, a box falls, someone misjudges a doorway. Professional coverage means you’re protected if something goes wrong, and we’re accountable for fixing it.
A lot of people don’t think to ask about licensing until after they’ve had a bad experience with an unlicensed mover. By then, they have no recourse. If a company damages their property or holds their belongings hostage over a price dispute, there’s no regulatory body to complain to. You can verify our USDOT registration online if you want peace of mind before booking. We don’t take offense—it’s a smart thing to check.
We cover all of Long Island, including Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Queens. That means communities like Huntington, Commack, Plainview, Farmingdale, Babylon, and everywhere in between.
For long-distance moves, we handle relocations across state lines. People moving from Long Island to Florida, North Carolina, or anywhere along the East Coast—we do those regularly. We also move people into Long Island from out of state, which has been increasingly common as NYC residents look for more space and better value.
Melville is centrally located, so we can reach most of Long Island within 30 to 45 minutes. That helps with scheduling and means we’re not wasting half your moving day just getting to your house. If you’re moving locally within a few miles, we can often complete the entire job in a few hours.
Yes to both. We can provide boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper if you want to pack yourself. Or we can handle the entire packing process for you.
Full packing service makes sense if you’re short on time, dealing with a lot of fragile items, or just don’t want the hassle. We’ll pack your kitchen, wrap your dishes properly, box up your closets, and protect anything breakable. It adds to the overall cost, but it also saves you days of work and ensures everything is packed correctly.
Partial packing is another option. Maybe you want to pack your clothes and books yourself, but you’d rather have us handle the china cabinet and artwork. We’re flexible. Some people pack everything except the kitchen because they underestimate how long it takes to wrap every plate and glass safely. We’ve seen it all, so we can advise on what makes sense for your situation.
If you’re packing yourself, have everything boxed and ready before we arrive. That includes clearing out drawers, taking items off shelves, and breaking down anything that disassembles easily. The more prepared you are, the faster we can load and the less you’ll pay in labor time.
Label your boxes by room and mark anything fragile. It helps us load the truck strategically and unload more efficiently at your new place. If you have items you’re taking in your own car—important documents, valuables, medications—set those aside so we don’t accidentally pack them.
Clear a path from your door to the truck. Move cars out of the driveway, put pets in a separate room, and make sure we can access stairways and hallways without obstacles. If you’re in an apartment building, reserve the elevator if your building requires it. Some Melville complexes have strict moving policies, so check with your landlord ahead of time. Small things like that prevent delays and keep your move on schedule.
