You’re not wondering if your furniture will fit through the doorway or if that antique dresser is going to get scratched. You’re not second-guessing whether the crew will actually show up on time or if the price is going to double once we see your stuff.
The move just happens. Your belongings arrive intact, nothing gets damaged, and you’re not dealing with surprise charges or vague explanations about “extra fees.”
That’s what full service moving should look like. We handle the heavy lifting, the logistics, the tight staircases in older Stony Brook homes, and the careful maneuvering around doorframes and hardwood floors. You get to focus on everything else that comes with moving—because the actual transportation part is handled by people who’ve done this hundreds of times.
Most residential moves in Stony Brook take between one and three hours. That includes loading, transport, and unloading. If you need packing services, disassembly, or reassembly, we do that too.
All Terrain Moving and Junk Removal Inc. has been handling moves across Suffolk County long enough to know what matters. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded with the proper DOT credentials and cargo insurance that actually protects your belongings.
Our crews know Stony Brook properties—the narrow staircases, the tight hallways, the homes built in the 1950s with layouts that don’t always cooperate with modern furniture. We’ve moved families out of university-area rentals and helped homeowners relocate from North Shore waterfront estates.
We’re not the biggest moving company on Long Island, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the local moving company that shows up when we say we will, treats your property like it matters, and charges you fairly based on volume—not how long we can stretch out the job.
First, you get an upfront estimate based on what you’re moving and where it’s going. No vague ranges or “we’ll see when we get there” pricing. You know what you’re paying before we show up.
On moving day, our crew arrives on time with the truck and equipment needed for your specific job. We walk through everything with you, confirm what’s being moved, and get to work. If you want to supervise, you can. If you’d rather leave and come back when we’re done, that works too.
We load carefully. Furniture gets wrapped and protected. Boxes are secured. Fragile items are handled like fragile items, not tossed in the back of the truck. Then we transport everything to your new location and unload it where you want it.
If you need packing services beforehand, we handle that. If furniture needs to be disassembled to fit through doorways or reassembled at the new place, we do that too. And if you’re between homes and need short-term storage, we’ve got options for that as well.
The whole process is straightforward because moving doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be done right.

When you hire All Terrain, you’re getting a full service moving company that handles both local and long distance moves. That means residential moves, commercial relocations, and everything in between. We also do junk removal, so if you’re downsizing or clearing out before a move, we can handle both jobs.
You’re working with licensed and insured professionals who’ve moved enough Stony Brook properties to know what works and what doesn’t. Our crews understand how to navigate tight spaces, protect high-value items, and work efficiently without cutting corners.
Pricing is volume-based, not hourly. That means we’re not dragging out your move to pad the bill. We load your stuff, transport it, and unload it as quickly as we can without being careless. Most residential jobs take one to three hours depending on the size of your home and how much you’re moving.
Stony Brook has a median household income over $162,000 and some of the highest property values on Long Island. People here expect their belongings to be handled carefully, and that’s exactly what we do. Whether you’re moving from a university-area rental or a waterfront home, your furniture and possessions get the same level of care.
We also follow Suffolk County disposal regulations if you’re combining your move with junk removal. That means responsible disposal, donations to local centers when items are in good condition, and proper recycling. No illegal dumping, no shortcuts.
Professional movers in Stony Brook typically cost between $80 and $100 per hour, but that’s not how we price our jobs. We charge based on volume—how much stuff you’re moving—not how long it takes us to move it.
That pricing structure matters because it removes the incentive to drag out your move. We’re not watching the clock hoping to squeeze another hour out of the job. We load, transport, and unload as efficiently as possible because that’s how we keep our schedule moving and our customers happy.
Most residential moves in Stony Brook take one to three hours depending on the size of your home and how much furniture and boxes you have. Smaller moves, like a single bedroom or apartment, can be done in an hour. Larger homes with multiple bedrooms, basements, or garages take closer to three hours.
If you need packing services, disassembly, or storage, those are additional but we’ll include them in your upfront estimate. You’ll know what you’re paying before we show up.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded with the proper DOT credentials required to operate as a moving company in New York. We also carry extensive cargo insurance that protects your belongings during transport.
That’s not just a checkbox we’re ticking. It’s protection for you if something goes wrong. Moving companies that aren’t properly licensed or insured are taking shortcuts, and you’re the one who pays for it if your furniture gets damaged or lost.
We’ve been handling moves across Suffolk County for years, and we’re familiar with every type of property in Stony Brook—from older homes with narrow staircases to newer builds with open layouts. Our crews know how to move your belongings safely without damaging your property or the items themselves.
You can verify our credentials before you hire us. We’re transparent about our licensing and insurance because it’s one of the things that separates professional movers from guys with a truck.
Yes. We handle local moves within Stony Brook and across Long Island, and we also do long distance moves if you’re relocating out of state or across the country.
Local moves are straightforward—we load your stuff, drive it to your new home, and unload it the same day. Most local residential moves take a few hours from start to finish.
Long distance moves require more planning. We’ll coordinate timing, provide secure transport, and make sure your belongings arrive on schedule. If you need temporary storage between your move-out and move-in dates, we can arrange that too.
We also handle commercial moves for businesses relocating offices or retail spaces. Whether you’re moving a small office or an entire storefront, we’ve got the equipment and experience to do it without disrupting your operations more than necessary.
We carry cargo insurance specifically to cover damage during transport. If something gets broken or damaged while we’re moving it, the insurance handles it.
That said, our goal is to not damage anything in the first place. We wrap furniture, secure boxes properly, and handle fragile items with the care they require. Our crews have moved enough high-value properties in Stony Brook to know that careful handling isn’t optional—it’s expected.
We also do a walkthrough with you before we start loading so we’re both clear on what’s being moved and any items that need extra attention. If you have antiques, artwork, or anything particularly valuable or fragile, let us know upfront and we’ll take the necessary precautions.
Most moves go smoothly because we’re not rushing, we’re not careless, and we’re not using temporary labor that doesn’t know what they’re doing. But if something does go wrong, you’re covered.
We offer full service packing if you want us to handle it, or you can pack everything yourself and we’ll just load and transport. It’s up to you.
If you hire us to pack, we bring the materials and pack your belongings room by room. We label everything, wrap fragile items properly, and make sure boxes are packed securely so nothing shifts during transport. It saves you time and it’s one less thing to worry about during an already stressful process.
If you’d rather pack yourself, that’s fine too. Just make sure boxes are sealed and labeled so we know where they go in your new place. We’ll handle the loading, transport, and unloading.
We also disassemble and reassemble furniture if needed. Bed frames, dining tables, shelving units—if it needs to come apart to fit through a doorway or down a staircase, we’ll take care of it. Then we’ll put it back together at your new home so you’re not left with a pile of parts and an instruction manual.
It depends on the time of year. Summer is the busiest season for moving—especially June—so if you’re planning a move between May and August, book as early as you can. A few weeks’ notice is ideal, but we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines if our schedule allows.
If you’re moving during fall, winter, or early spring, you’ll have more flexibility. We can often schedule moves with just a few days’ notice during slower months.
That said, don’t wait until the last minute if you can avoid it. The earlier you book, the more options you have for scheduling and the less likely you are to end up scrambling to find a moving company that can fit you in.
If you’re on a university timeline—moving students in or out at the start or end of a semester—plan ahead. Those are high-demand periods in Stony Brook and availability fills up fast. Give us a call as soon as you know your move date and we’ll get you on the schedule.
