Every move is unique, and at L & L Van Lines, we're committed to understanding your specific requirements. Whether you're relocating within Hoboken or across state lines, our team conducts a detailed pre-move consultation. We assess the size of your residence, identify specialty items like pianos or antiques, review building access, and establish timelines that fit YOUR schedule. This tailored approach ensures a seamless move from start to finish.
How We Protect Your Belongings
A successful move hinges on proper protection and handling. We use high-quality packing materials—such as double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, furniture blankets, and custom crating—to safeguard your possessions. Fragile items, electronics, artwork, and wooden furniture receive special attention. Items are carefully wrapped, cushioned, and packed to prevent shifting during transit. Additionally, furniture pieces are disassembled (if needed) and padded before reassembly at your new location.
Packing Options: Full, Partial & DIY Supply
Our services offer flexibility to fit any budget or preference:
Full-Service Packing
Our trained packers complete the entire job—sorting, packing, and labeling—even including hanging garments from closets.
Partial Packing
Ideal if you need help with certain categories (e.g., breakables or kitchenware) while handling other things yourself.
DIY Supply-Only
Prefer to pack your own belongings? We’ll supply all necessary materials, including boxes, tape, paper, and bubble wrap.
No matter which option you choose, each packing solution is designed to maximize efficiency and protect valuables.
Efficient Loading & Transportation
Loading is a precise operation that minimizes moving time and protects your items. Our crew carefully plans the truck layout, taking into account weight distribution, item shape, and handling needs. Heavy furniture goes in first, followed by boxed items. Fragile pieces are loaded last and secured in place. We use straps, tie-downs, and padding in the truck to prevent shifting. Whether it's a cozy Hoboken flat or a large suburban home, we adapt our loading strategy to suit your situation.
