Serving Westerly, RI since 1942
Need movers in Westerly who know the town has two very different seasons? Murray's Moving and Storage is a family-owned company out of Johnston, RI, moving Rhode Island households and businesses since 1942. Westerly sits at the far end of the state for us, and we plan every job down there around the calendar.
We pack, load, drive it down I-95, and carry it in. When your dates do not line up, we keep your things in our own Johnston warehouse. One crew, one office, start to finish, with full-service household moves as the backbone of the work.
I-95 South to Route 78
Our trucks run I-95 South and come off on Route 78, the road locals call the Westerly Bypass, then head to your street from there. On a clear weekday that is a straightforward drive, close to an hour.
Because Westerly is at the edge of our regular area, we schedule the crew to leave Johnston early. That puts boots on the ground in the morning and keeps the whole job inside one working day.
Here is the local catch. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Route 1A toward Misquamicut and Watch Hill fills with beach traffic, and summer Saturdays are the worst of it. A loaded truck crawling behind beach cars is time you pay for.
If you have any say in the date, pick a weekday, or move in spring or fall. Good movers in Westerly will tell you the same thing, and we would rather say it up front than after the fact.
Big shingled houses, long driveways, narrow lanes, and furniture that has been in the family for generations. Watch Hill and Weekapaug moves are about care more than speed. We pad and wrap every piece and walk the path from the door to the truck before anything gets lifted.
Tell us about stairs, porch steps, and where a truck can actually park. On some of these lanes the answer is not in front of the house, and we plan the carry around that. Antiques, art, and heavy pieces get extra padding and their own spot on the truck, loaded last and unloaded first.
Plenty of Westerly houses are summer places. Owners bring furniture down in spring and pull it out in fall, or empty a cottage before a sale. We can pick it up, hold it through the off-season in our storage vaults at the Johnston warehouse, and bring it back when the house opens.
Your things sit in wooden vaults inside our own building, not in a rented unit you have to load yourself. Book the spring delivery early, because everyone wants their cottage open by the same weekend.
Downtown is older housing: two-family homes, apartments over storefronts, and side streets near Wilcox Park where the truck has to be placed with some thought. Stairs are steep and turns are tight, so we bring the right crew size for the building, not a guess.
If you are searching for movers near me from a downtown Westerly apartment, give us the address and the floor, and we will tell you how we would run it.
Quote for your Westerly move
Send the form or call the Johnston office. We call back within an hour and quote within 24 hours.
(401) 274-7071Pawcatuck sits right across the river in Stonington, Connecticut. A move from one side of the bridge to the other is short, but it still crosses a state line, and we handle both ends the same way.
Going farther than that? We run out-of-state moves from the Rhode Island shore as well. For a job headed up to central Connecticut, see our Hartford moving page.
Westerly businesses run on the season, so a move during July is the last thing most owners want. We can plan shop and office moves for the shoulder months, after hours, or on a Saturday so you do not lose a busy week.
Fixtures, files, inventory, and back-office furniture all get wrapped, labeled, and set where you want them on the other end. Moving into a new storefront before the season opens? Give us the lease date and the opening date, and we will build the schedule backward from there so the shelves are up before the first busy weekend.
Selling a family cottage or settling an estate usually means sorting decades of furniture and boxes. Our estate clean-outs empty the house so you can list it, with the keepers set aside for the family.
We can do the clean-out and the move in the same week, so one company handles the whole house.
Already booked a portable container or a rental truck? We send POD loading crews to pack it tight. If you only need muscle on moving day, our labor-only help loads or unloads and leaves the driving to you.
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 to 10:00 AM. Ask the office for our license and insurance details when you book.
Our movers in Westerly also cover Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond on the Rhode Island side, plus Stonington and North Stonington across the line. Moving up the shore instead? Our Narragansett moving page covers that stretch of South County.
