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.

I used Fresh Start Movers two weeks ago for a local move and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They came highly recommended by friends, and they definitely lived up to the hype. From start to finish, everything went so smoothly. Christina was super helpful and quick to answer all my questions leading up to moving day, and Nathan was great when he came out to do the estimate—very friendly and easy to work with. On moving day, Tony, Josh, and Alex showed up early and ready to go. Moving is usually stressful, but they made it feel so easy. They were professional, efficient, and just genuinely nice guys—it made a huge difference. I would 100% recommend Fresh Start Movers to anyone and will definitely be using them again if I ever need movers in the future!

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.

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 1–2 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.
