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 did an amazing job with my local move. Nathan, the owner, came by my home to look over the needs, whereas most companies just issued an estimate based on number of rooms, size, etc. Actual cost even came out slightly lower than the estimate. Josh and Alex were quick, efficient, communicative and overall a pleasure to work with. Everything was wrapped and protected, loaded and quickly unloaded. They even took it upon themselves to help set up the furniture despite approaching the estimated time and me having broke everything down for them prior to their arrival. Great movers, but also friendly, personable guys as well, which made the hectic moving experience that much more tolerable. Won't hesitate to call Fresh Start again!

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. 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.

Do you charge by the hour or flat rate?

Most in-state residential moves are flat-rate after a 10-minute video walkthrough or in-person visit. You get the number before we start, and the number doesn't move regardless of traffic, stairs, or how long the day actually runs. Hourly is available for partial-day jobs under 4 hours and for genuinely ambiguous scopes. Long-distance moves use a flat or not-to-exceed estimate, never hourly.

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.
