Movers in Islip, NY

Islip moving prices: hourly by crew size

Local moves in the Town of Islip are priced hourly — one rate the whole job, with the truck, pads, dollies, tools, and full furniture wrapping included as standard. Every piece gets padded and protected before it is carried, on every move. The rate card: 2 movers starting at $149/hr · 3 movers starting at $199/hr (recommended for most moves) · 4 movers starting at $249/hr. These are starting prices for a standard inventory; your final price is confirmed after an inventory review, and a 5% admin fee applies to every job.

We lead with the 3-mover crew for most Islip-area homes: one mover staging and wrapping while two carry keeps a ranch or colonial loading steadily instead of bottlenecking at the front door. The 2-mover crew is the exception — a genuinely small or load-only job — not the default. For the full rate card, see our local moving service page.

Local notes: ferry clocks, Sunrise Highway, and the Great South Bay

Three things shape a moving day in the Town of Islip. First, the water: waterfront properties along the Great South Bay — in Great River, Oakdale, and the Bay Shore shoreline — often mean long carries from street to door and furniture that has lived in one house for decades. Second, the ferries: Bay Shore's Main Street sits a few minutes from the Fire Island ferry terminals, and a move involving a Fire Island home runs on sailing times, not road times — we build the truck schedule backwards from the ferry so nothing sits on a dock. Third, the corridors: Sunrise Highway and the Southern State Parkway are the fast east–west routes, the LIRR Montauk branch stations at Islip, Bay Shore, and Great River anchor the apartment moves near the downtowns, and Brentwood's large single-family stock — one of the biggest hamlets on Long Island — produces steady whole-house moves that reward a properly sized crew over a cheap small one.

The clock itself is simple and disclosed before you book: it starts when the crew arrives and runs through wrapping, loading, the drive to your new home, unloading, and placement — driving time counts. After the 4-hour minimum, time bills in full-hour increments. If the crew packs for you, the labor runs on the same hourly clock — no second rate — and boxes and materials are one flat package by home size, starting at $150 for a studio.
