Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if your furniture will arrive damaged. You’re not dealing with movers who show up three hours late or suddenly double the price when the truck is half-loaded. You’re not scrambling to find boxes or figure out how to get a piano down two flights of stairs.
Your move happens on schedule. The team arrives when they say they will, handles your belongings like they matter, and gives you a final price that matches the estimate. No hostage situations. No surprise fees. No rental trucks that make you question if this company is even legitimate.
You get movers who know Northport. We understand the narrow driveways, the older homes with tight staircases, and the building requirements that can turn a simple move into a headache if you don’t know what you’re doing. That local knowledge means fewer delays and a smoother process from start to finish.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal is a family-owned business serving Northport and the surrounding Long Island communities. We’re not a franchise with a rotating crew. We’re a local team that understands what matters when you’re trusting someone with everything you own.
Northport has a median home value over $700,000 and an 84% homeownership rate. That means most of our customers aren’t just moving apartments—they’re relocating entire households, often with valuable furniture, family heirlooms, and items that can’t be replaced. We treat every move with that level of care because we know what’s at stake.
We’re properly licensed (USDOT 4149015), insured, and run by people you can actually reach when you have questions. Matt, our owner, is involved in the business and accessible when you need him. That’s not standard in this industry, but it should be.
You reach out for an estimate. We ask about the size of your home, what you’re moving, any specialty items like pianos or pool tables, and where you’re going. You get an upfront price based on real information—not a lowball number designed to get you on the hook.
When moving day arrives, our team shows up on time. We do a walkthrough, confirm the plan, and start loading. If you’ve chosen packing services, we handle that too. Everything gets wrapped, protected, and loaded carefully. We’re not rushing to get to the next job. We’re focused on getting your belongings from point A to point B without damage.
Once we arrive at your new place, we unload and place items where you want them. No dumping everything in the garage and calling it done. We make sure you’re satisfied before we leave. If something needs adjusting, we handle it then—not three days later after you’ve been calling and leaving messages.
The process is straightforward because it should be. You’re already dealing with enough during a move. Our job is to make this part easier.

We handle residential moves of any size across Northport, Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. That includes small apartment moves, full-house relocations, and everything in between. If it’s too small for the big corporate movers to care about or too complex for an unlicensed crew, we’re the right fit.
Specialty items get the attention they need. Pianos, pool tables, antiques, safes—we’ve moved them all. We know how to disassemble, transport, and reassemble items that require more than just muscle. If you’re worried about a specific piece, ask us. We’ll tell you exactly how we’ll handle it.
Packing services are available if you don’t have the time or materials to do it yourself. We bring the boxes, tape, and padding. You don’t have to spend weekends wrapping dishes or hunting down supplies. For customers in Northport—where 88% of residents work in professional or administrative roles—that time savings matters.
We also offer junk removal for items you don’t want to bring to the new place. One company, two services. You’re not coordinating multiple vendors or making extra trips to the dump. We clear out what you don’t need and move what you do.
Local moves in Northport typically cost between $400 and $2,000 depending on the size of your home and how much you’re moving. A one-bedroom apartment usually runs lower, while a full house with specialty items costs more. The price depends on the time it takes, the number of movers needed, and any additional services like packing or handling pianos.
We give you an upfront estimate based on the details you provide. That estimate doesn’t change unless the scope of the job changes. If you tell us you have a three-bedroom house and it turns out to be five bedrooms with a full attic, that’s different. But if the job matches what we discussed, the price stays the same.
The biggest cost variable is how prepared you are. If everything is boxed, labeled, and ready to go, the move goes faster. If we’re waiting while you finish packing or make decisions about what to keep, that adds time. The more organized you are, the less you’ll pay.
Check for a USDOT number. Every legitimate moving company operating across state lines or handling interstate moves needs one. You can look it up on the FMCSA website to verify the company is registered and in good standing. Our USDOT number is 4149015.
Ask about insurance directly. A real moving company will explain their coverage and what happens if something gets damaged. If they dodge the question or give vague answers, that’s a red flag. You should know exactly what’s covered before the move starts.
Watch out for companies that show up in rental trucks or don’t have clear branding. The BBB receives 13,000 moving complaints annually, many involving unlicensed movers who lowball the estimate and then hold belongings hostage until you pay more. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. You’re better off paying a fair rate to a licensed company than dealing with a scam that costs you more in the end.
We handle both. A lot of moving companies in Long Island only want the big jobs—full houses with high price tags. That leaves people in apartments or smaller spaces scrambling to find help or doing it themselves with a rental truck.
We don’t have a minimum job size that makes small moves unaffordable. If you’re moving a studio apartment in Northport or relocating a few pieces of furniture, we’ll give you a fair price and treat it with the same professionalism as a 10,000-square-foot home. No job is too small.
Small moves actually require just as much care. You still need movers who won’t damage your furniture or your building’s walls. You still need people who show up on time and handle your belongings properly. The size of the job doesn’t change the standard of service you should expect.
We take care with every item, but if something does get damaged, we address it. That starts with proper insurance coverage and a clear process for handling claims. You’re not left filing paperwork with no response for weeks.
Before the move, we do a walkthrough and note any existing damage to your belongings or property. That protects both of us. If something happens during the move, we document it immediately and work with you to resolve it. Most issues can be handled quickly without turning into a drawn-out dispute.
The best way to avoid damage is to hire movers who know what they’re doing. We’ve moved pianos, antiques, and fragile items through tight spaces and tricky staircases. Experience matters. A crew that’s rushing or doesn’t have the right equipment is far more likely to break something. We take the time to do it right the first time.
Yes. Pianos and pool tables require disassembly, proper equipment, and experience. You can’t just pick them up and carry them out. They need to be taken apart carefully, moved without damaging the components, and reassembled correctly at the new location.
We’ve handled upright pianos, baby grands, slate pool tables, and other specialty items that most movers won’t touch. We know how to protect the finish on a piano, how to navigate tight corners without scraping walls, and how to ensure a pool table is level after reassembly. It’s not guesswork—it’s a process we’ve done many times.
If you have a specialty item, mention it when you request an estimate. We’ll ask questions about the size, weight, and any access challenges like stairs or narrow doorways. That helps us bring the right equipment and plan the move properly. The last thing you want is movers showing up unprepared and trying to figure it out on the spot.
Two to four weeks is ideal, especially if you’re moving during the busy season between May and September. Weekends and month-end dates fill up fast because that’s when most people move. If you have flexibility on your moving date, you’ll have more options and potentially better pricing.
That said, we also handle last-minute moves when possible. If you’re in a situation where you need to move quickly—maybe a closing date changed or you have an unexpected lease issue—reach out anyway. We’ll do what we can to accommodate you, even if it’s short notice.
The earlier you book, the more control you have over the schedule. You get your preferred date and time slot instead of taking whatever’s left. But if you’re reading this a week before your move and panicking, don’t assume it’s too late. Call us. We’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
