Fresh start movers is a very highly professional company. The staff was courteous and extremely helpful. They protected my valuables like they were their own. I would highly recommend this company for your next move.

Moving in Cranford
What a move in Cranford actually looks like.
The Rahway River runs through Cranford, and the homes closest to it have been through more than one serious flood. That shows up in the moves: finished basements that were rebuilt or never rebuilt, and owners who are deliberate about what goes back below grade. Downtown Cranford is genuinely walkable, which is another way of saying the streets are narrow and the loading windows are short, so we scout access and schedule around the morning rush rather than circle the block with a 26-foot truck.
Cranford is part of our Union County coverage, just under an hour from our Wall Township base. We are in Union County multiple times a week, so scheduling stays tight and the same crew loads and unloads — no contractor handoffs.

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 anythingAre 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.
