01 / Services

What we can help with

Labor-only moving, packing, and household assistance.

What services does Charter Oak Moving offer?

We offer five core services: loading and unloading, packing and unpacking, cleanout assistance, furniture assembly and disassembly, and furniture rearranging. We can discuss a combination of services for the same project.

Can you load or unload a U-Haul, Penske truck, PODS container, or trailer?

Yes. We help load and unload customer-arranged rental trucks, portable storage containers, trailers, and storage units. Let us know the size of your truck or container, the number of items, and any access restrictions.

Do you provide a moving truck?

Our primary service is professional moving labor. Customers arrange transportation, such as a rental truck, trailer, or portable storage container. We can discuss the logistics of your specific job before scheduling.

Can you help with just one heavy piece of furniture?

Yes, individual furniture-moving and rearranging jobs may be possible. Describe the item, approximate dimensions, stairs, doorways, and the distance it needs to move so we can assess the job.

02 / Preparation

Packing, protection & furniture

Know what to expect before we arrive.

Do you offer both packing and unpacking?

Yes. We can help box household belongings, wrap and protect furniture, and unpack items after a move. Tell us which rooms or items need attention so we can plan the right amount of labor.

What packing materials do you use?

Depending on the job, preparation may involve moving blankets, stretch wrap, cardboard protection, packing paper, and boxes. We'll discuss materials and any related charges before the work begins.

Can you disassemble and reassemble furniture?

Yes. We help with furniture such as beds, tables, and other household pieces when disassembly or reassembly is practical. Let us know about unusual hardware, built-in furniture, or complicated assemblies in advance.

Can you rearrange furniture without moving to another home?

Absolutely. We help move furniture between rooms or floors, reposition heavy pieces, and rearrange furnishings within a home or property. Share any stair or access concerns when requesting an estimate.

What does cleanout assistance include?

We can help organize, lift, carry, and load unwanted household items into a customer-arranged vehicle or container. Hauling, disposal, and third-party fees are not automatically included; discuss those arrangements before scheduling.

03 / Scheduling

Estimates & availability

Clear expectations before moving day.

Are estimates free?

Yes. Charter Oak Moving offers free, no-obligation estimates. Share your service needs, location, item list, access details, and preferred timing so we can understand the scope.

Do you offer evening and weekend moving services?

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, subject to availability. Contact us to discuss your preferred date.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in Torrington and primarily serve Northwest Connecticut and surrounding communities. Projects elsewhere in Connecticut may be considered depending on the location and scope.

What should I have ready before the crew arrives?

Make sure the work area and access paths are clear, arrange any required rental vehicle or container, and identify fragile, heavy, or unusually shaped items. Tell us about stairs, elevators, parking limitations, and tight doorways in advance.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on the labor required, number of movers, job size, location, travel, access conditions, and any packing materials or additional services. We discuss the details when preparing your free estimate.
