Serving North Smithfield, RI since 1942
Need movers in North Smithfield who are fine with a quarter-mile driveway and a house at the end of a back road? Murray's Moving and Storage has moved Rhode Island families since 1942 from our office in Johnston. Family-owned. Our own crews, our own trucks, our own warehouse.
North Smithfield is mostly villages and open land. Slatersville, Forestdale, Union Village, and a lot of wooded lots in between. Our residential moving crews plan these jobs around the driveway, the barn, and the basement, not just the box count.
I-295 North to Route 146 North
Slatersville is an old mill village. Mill houses, older capes and colonials, narrow stairs, low ceilings, and doorways cut for furniture from another century. A modern sectional can be a puzzle going in.
We measure before we lift and take legs, doors, and bed frames apart when we have to. Careful movers in North Smithfield treat an old house like an old house. We pad the door frames and banisters so they come out the same as they went in.
Forestdale and Union Village mix older village homes with newer houses set back on bigger lots. Garages, sheds, finished basements, workshops. That is where the hours go on moving day.
On the call we ask about the outbuildings, the attic, and anything bolted to a wall. The more we know, the closer the quote is to the bill. No guessing on the day. Hiring movers in North Smithfield for a big house? Expect us to ask about the shed and the workshop before we ask about the living room.
Here is the local piece. From Johnston we go up I-295 and take Route 146 North, which cuts straight through North Smithfield on its way to Worcester. It is a fast road, and it is the truck route for most of town. The catch is getting off it onto the smaller roads that lead back to the villages.
Since 146 runs right to Worcester, plenty of North Smithfield moves head up into central Massachusetts or further. For a run like that, our long-haul transportation keeps your goods on one truck with one crew the whole way.
Rural lots mean long driveways, gravel, and sometimes a soft spot after a wet week. Before moving day we ask where the truck can turn around and whether it can get close to the door. If it cannot, we plan the carry.
Winter adds snow and ice to the list. Plow the driveway and salt the walk the morning of the move, and the crew can do its job. If you are searching for movers near me from a back road in North Smithfield, tell us about the driveway first.
North Smithfield borders Woonsocket and the Massachusetts line. Lots of our moves here go one way or the other, across the city line or over the state line. Same crew from start to finish. A move over the line into Blackstone or Uxbridge is quoted as one job, door to door, with the same people carrying at both ends.
Heading east toward the Blackstone River towns instead? Our Cumberland moving crew works the other side of Woonsocket.

(401) 274-7071North Smithfield has small manufacturers, shops, and offices along the main roads. We move desks, files, shelving, and equipment, and we can work a Saturday so you are open Monday. Read about our office and commercial moving.
Shipping or receiving freight? Our crews handle trailer restacking when a load shifts or needs to be rebuilt before it goes back on the road. We also do government and GSA moves.
Building a house, waiting on a closing, or downsizing in stages? We load your things, bring them back to Johnston, and hold them in wooden vaults until you are ready. Look at our secure Johnston storage.
One company packs, stores, and delivers. You do not load a rented unit and you do not move it all twice. A few weeks or a few months, it works the same way. Call the office when you have a date and we schedule the delivery.
Driving your own truck or using a portable container? Hire our loading and unloading crews for the heavy part. You handle the wheel, we handle the couch, the dresser, and the gun safe.
We load tight and tie off so nothing shifts on Route 146. Unloading on the other end works the same way. Heavy pieces go in first and low, boxes stack by weight, and the mattress rides against the wall where it stays clean. It is a good fit for a smaller move or a single room going out.
Older homes in North Smithfield tend to collect decades of tools, furniture, and boxes in barns and basements. Our house and estate clean-outs empty the place so it can be sold or moved into.
People comparing moving companies near me for an estate job want one call to handle the move, the storage, and the clean-out. That is how we run it. Ask the office for our license and insurance details when you book.
