Fresh Start Movers serving Lakewood, NJ
Moving in Lakewood

What a move in Lakewood actually looks like.

Lakewood is the fastest-growing town in New Jersey and the moves here are bigger than the square footage suggests. Large families mean more furniture, more boxes and more bedrooms to reassemble at the other end, so we quote crew size off the walkthrough rather than off the bedroom count. New construction across the township means a lot of moves are into a house that was finished the week before, and delivery timing has to hold to the day.

Lakewood is part of our Ocean County coverage, about 20 minutes from our Wall Township base. We are in Ocean County multiple times a week, so scheduling stays tight and the same crew loads and unloads, no contractor handoffs.

Fresh Start Movers are the best moving company I've ever hired! From the first phone contact through every step of the way, they were professional, efficient and friendly, all at a fair rate. Christina answered all of my questions and was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She organized Nathan to come out and assess my home for a quote. He was friendly, professional and I received my quote quickly. On the day of our move, the truck arrived as scheduled with 4 men: Josh, David, Kenny & Jonny. They worked very well together, carefully preparing everything before they packed it into the truck. They stuck to the proposed schedule and we're done in the expected time frame. At our new home, they were very helpful in making sure my furniture was set up correctly and that we were happy with where everything was placed. They removed all of the packaging and our home very clean when they finished. I highly recommend this team! I am already working on scheduling another family move with them.

FAQ

Common questions.

Quick answers to what NJ movers ask most. If yours isn't here, call, we will not put you through an automated phone tree.

Ask us anything

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are NJ Division of Consumer Affairs registered for in-state household-goods moves, NJ Public Movers License #39PM00129400. For interstate work we hold USDOT 3855223 and docket MC-1609840, which you can look up yourself on the FMCSA SAFER registry. Long-distance moves out of NJ are conducted under full FMCSA-compliant household-goods paperwork, bill of lading, and full-value protection. Insurance carries $2M general liability and full-value protection is available on every move. A Certificate of Insurance is issued to your destination building on commercial jobs by default and on residential jobs on request.

What is the average cost of movers in NJ?

A statewide average is close to useless here, and New Jersey is a good example of why. The same two-bedroom move is a different job in a Hoboken walkup with no loading zone, a Rumson house with a long gravel driveway, and an Edison condo with a service elevator you have to book. Shore addresses on a barrier island add a bridge and, on the narrow streets, sometimes a shuttle because the truck cannot reach the door. What sets your number is the volume, the access at both ends, the stairs, and whether we are packing. Any figure quoted before someone has looked at those is a guess being presented as a price, which is why we do a short walkthrough and put the estimate in writing instead.

How do you price a move?

Most in-state residential moves are quoted as a written estimate after a consultation by video or in person, so you have a number in writing before anything is booked. It is an estimate rather than a binding price, so the final number reflects the job as it actually runs. The walkthrough is what keeps it close. Hourly is available for partial-day jobs and genuinely ambiguous scopes. Long-distance moves are estimated the same way, never by final weight after loading.

Do you handle long-distance and interstate moves?

Yes. Every interstate move uses a dedicated truck, your shipment is the only shipment on the vehicle, loaded once in NJ and unloaded once at the destination. No terminal transfers, no shared loads. Delivery is a specific day in writing, not a 14-day spread. Most-requested routes are NJ-to-Florida and NJ-to-Carolinas.

Do you offer packing services?

Yes. Full-service packing wraps the whole house in 1 to 2 days; fragile-only is the more common configuration where we handle the kitchen, art, china, and electronics and the homeowner packs closets and books. Materials (boxes, paper, wrap, tape) are included in the packing quote. Unpacking is available as an add-on.

Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance?

Yes. For commercial moves we issue a COI to the destination building by default, naming the property manager as an additional insured if requested. For residential moves we will issue a COI to your HOA or building management on request, typically within one business day of a written request.
