Serving Middletown, RI since 1942

Trusted Movers in Middletown, RI

Looking for movers in Middletown who will show up when they say and handle your stuff like it is theirs? Murray's Moving and Storage has been doing that since 1942, out of our office in Johnston. Middletown sits in the middle of Aquidneck Island, between Newport and Portsmouth, and we run crews down there every week.

Ranches, capes, newer subdivisions, base housing, apartments off the main roads. Middletown has a little of everything. We pack it, load it, and carry it in, as part of a full residential move or just the pieces you need help with.

The Drive From Johnston Down to Middletown

Our trucks usually come down I-195 East, then Route 24 South over the Sakonnet River Bridge and onto Route 114. That skips the toll on the Newport Pell Bridge and puts the crew right on West Main Road. On a clear morning it is about an hour from our yard.

If you have been searching for movers near me from Middletown, a Johnston company is closer than it sounds. We plan the drive into the quote so there are no surprises on the bill. Crew leaves the yard early, gets on the island before the morning backup, and starts carrying while it is still cool.

West Main Road and East Main Road in Middletown

Here is the local catch. Most of Middletown hangs off two roads: West Main Road, which is Route 114, and East Main Road, which is Route 138. Both are lined with shopping plazas, car dealers, and traffic lights, and both slow to a crawl at rush hour and on summer weekends.

Good movers in Middletown time the trip around that. We try to be loaded and rolling before the afternoon backup, and we pick the road that gets the truck closest to your street with the fewest turns.

Moving Navy Families In and Out of Middletown

Naval Station Newport reaches into Middletown, and a lot of Navy families rent or buy here. That means short notice, tight report dates, and sometimes one spouse handling the whole move alone. We keep it simple: one call, one quote, one crew. Give us the report date and we will work back from it.

Already have a container or rental truck lined up? We send a crew for labor-only loading and you drive. We also handle government and GSA moves, so we know how to work with checklists and paperwork.

Middletown Homes Near Second Beach and Sachuest Point

The south end of town, out toward Second Beach and Sachuest Point, has homes that see sand, salt air, and heavy summer beach traffic. Some are year-round. Some only open in June. Long gravel driveways and tight turnarounds are common.

For movers in Middletown that means checking the driveway before sending a big truck, and scheduling beach-area jobs away from hot summer weekends when the roads to the beaches fill up.

Packing Services for Middletown Households

You can hand us the whole house or just the kitchen and the breakables. Our crew pads furniture, boxes dishes and glass, and labels every carton by room so unloading goes in the right order. Beds go up first so you have somewhere to sleep that night. Lamps, TVs, and mirrors ride in their own boxes or wrapped in pads, never loose on the truck.

Clearing out a parent's house or an old rental before you sell? Our home clean-out crew can empty it the same week, so the place is ready to list.

Storage for Middletown Moves That Do Not Line Up

Closings slip. Leases end on the wrong day. Orders change. When there is a gap, we load your things, bring them to our own warehouse in Johnston, and deliver when you are ready. Read about our storage vaults in Johnston.

Your furniture stays packed in wooden vaults in a building we run, not a self-storage unit you have to load and unload yourself. Pack the things you will need in the first weeks in a separate, marked box, and we will keep it with you instead of in the vault.

Middletown Office and Retail Relocations

Middletown has plenty of businesses along the main roads: offices, medical suites, shops, and service companies. We move desks, files, equipment, and inventory, and we can work after hours or on a Saturday. Here is how our commercial moving crews work.

Store getting a delivery it cannot unload? We also do trailer restacking and unloading for businesses that need hands on a truck fast.

Leaving Middletown for Another State

Plenty of people leave the island on new orders or a new job. Our out-of-state moving service keeps one crew on the job from your Middletown door to the new one.

More time on the truck means packing matters more. We wrap and load for the long haul, not for a quick trip across town. Heavy pieces go in first and low, boxes get stacked tight, and nothing is left to slide around on the highway.
