LOCAL MOVING COMPANY IN TOMS RIVER, NJ

We cover every section of the township, from the downtown blocks around Washington Street to Silverton, the Route 9 corridor and the barrier island. Every Toms River move starts with the street, not the house. The township bars trucks over four tons from residential streets and lots between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., so the day is planned to end well before then, and on a cul-de-sac in Silverton or a beach block in Ortley, we confirm the truck position with you the day before.

movers Toms River, NJ - SETT Movers' truck

Route 37 and Hooper Avenue are two of the most congested roads in the township, and the Parkway interchange at exit 82 backs up on summer weekends. For a move in June, July or August, book a weekday and an early start. The rest of the year, traffic is a commute-hour problem, and a mid-morning start clears both rush hours. Request a free estimate with both addresses and your target date, and we plan the hours around the real route. Each service below says what it looks like on a Toms River job.

OUR SERVICES

Local Moves

Local moves cover anything inside Toms River or across Ocean County, such as Silverton to Holiday City or Brick to Toms River. Tell us if your street is a cul-de-sac or has no curb space, so we know how close the truck can get.

Long Distance Moves

Long distance moves take a Toms River household to New York, Philadelphia or anywhere in the country, with Texas, Pennsylvania and South Carolina among the regular destinations. Ask about the delivery window when you book and keep the first night’s essentials in your own car.

Office Moves

Office moving serves the county seat's law offices, medical practices and agencies around Washington Street, Hooper Avenue and the Route 37 corridor. Downtown streets are metered until 5 p.m. and the one marked loading zone sits on Robbins Parkway near Water Street, so we set the truck position and the elevator plan before the day.

Packing / Unpacking

Packing and unpacking fits two common Toms River situations: downsizing a three-bedroom house into a Holiday City ranch, and clearing a summer rental in Ortley Beach before the season turns. We pack by room, label every box and unpack on delivery day.

Specialty Moves

Specialty moves cover pool tables, grandfather clocks, antiques and other pieces that need more than two movers and a dolly. Pool tables come apart, travel in pieces and go back together at the new address, and antiques get extra padding or a custom crate when the piece calls for it.

Piano Moves

Piano moving covers uprights, baby grands and grands, whether the piano crosses town or crosses the living room. An elevated Ortley Beach home puts a full flight of exterior stairs between the street and the front door, so tell us about them when you book.

Moving In or Out of Toms River's 55+ Communities

Toms River holds some of the largest age-restricted communities in New Jersey. Holiday City at Berkeley alone has more than 10,000 detached ranch homes with a Toms River address, Silver Ridge Park has about 3,200 single-story homes with attached garages, and Holiday Heights and Holiday City at Silverton add about 1,600 each. Most went up between the late 1960s and the mid 1990s along Mule Road, Jamaica Boulevard, and the streets off Route 37 just west of the Parkway.

Downsizing Into a Holiday City or Silver Ridge Ranch

A move into one of these sections is usually a downsizing move, and the hard part happens before the truck arrives. Our movers pack what you are keeping, and you decide what goes to family, to donation or to the curb. Many sections bar overnight street parking and limit commercial vehicles to brief loading and unloading, so we schedule a daytime window and keep the truck at your driveway.

Moving Out After a Sale

Resale homes here average close to 300 days on the market, so most sellers have time to plan. Use it to book a weekday, when Route 37 and the Parkway interchange run lighter than on a summer weekend, and ask for packing the day before loading so the final walk-through stays on schedule.

Moving to Ortley Beach and Waterfront Homes

Ortley Beach sits on the barrier island across Barnegat Bay, in the Dover Beaches South section of the township, and shares the 08751 ZIP code with Seaside Heights. Much of its housing was rebuilt after Superstorm Sandy on pilings, with the living space a full story above the street. The same bay lines Silverton and the mainland lagoon streets, where homes sit behind bulkheads with docks instead of backyards.

Elevated Homes and Exterior Stairs

Nearly everything in an elevated Ortley Beach home goes up one flight of outside stairs, since the ground level is a breakaway enclosure. Measure the stair width and the turn at the top before move day, and tell us about any sofa, armoire or appliance that will need two movers on the stairs so we plan its route in advance.

Bridge Timing and Summer Traffic

The Route 37 bridges are the only road onto the island from Toms River, and they set the clock on every Ortley Beach move. The Mathis Bridge carries eastbound traffic and is a drawbridge that, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, opens for boats on the hour and half hour between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., so a truck that reaches it at the wrong minute waits. The Tunney Bridge carries westbound traffic on a higher fixed span and never opens. Add beach traffic on Route 37, and a June through August move onto the island belongs on a weekday morning. From September through May, the same move runs on a near-empty bridge.

We used SETT movers for a long distance move and they were great! They had the whole house emptied out in less than 4 hours and had everything moved into the new home just as fast! Rob and Nick were both extremely kind and helpful as were the rest of the crew and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to move.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Joe, We are thrilled to hear that you were well served. Collectively, we try hard. If ever you need us in the future, please remember, when you’re ready, we’re SETT. Respectfully, Steven, Tara, and the SETT Movers Team.

Sett movers helped me with a recent move from the Jersey Shore to Northern Virginia. From start to finish, they were easy to work with and had wonderful communication. The estimate was quick (virtual with a detailed list from me on items to be moved) and accurate! Tara, administrative side, had the right amount of communication with me prior to, day of and post the move. Movers and driver were very experienced, polite and very good at their jobs! I highly recommend Sett Movers.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Maureen, We appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Our team tries to anticipate and accommodate needs. Should you meet us in the future, please remember, when you’re ready, we’re SETT. Respectfully, Steven, Tara, and the SETT Movers Team.

Steve, Tara and their entire team were absolutely amazing! I can not possibly say enough nice things about this company or these people. If you need movers look no further and book with SETT movers! I used them to move from NJ to PA and I am so happy I did. Ever step of the way they were amazing. There we no hidden fees, Steve and Tara were clear up front what things would cost and what my different options were. Their teams showed up on time, with great personalities. They helped make moving less stressful and more fun. They were respectful and cared for all my belongings as if they were there own. It felt more like I had family or friends supporting me move then some complete strangers. They worked so hard and like magicians making sure they got all my stuff into the truck in a timely manner. They went above and beyond to help get it done and relieve my stress ( we were having a bad experience with the buyers realtor) It was the same thing on the unloading side, absolutely pleasure to work with the crew. They were laughing and joking but working their buts off. They got everything in the rooms it needed to go to, and my furniture put back together. I also can say after completely unpacking my entire 3 bedroom plus house I can report they did a phenomenal job packing and protecting. I had one wine glass broken and that's because it was in the manufacturers box not packed by their crew. Everything else arrived perfectly safe and in tack. And believe me, we moved a bar so there was lots of glasses and a mirror that could have been disastrous. Again, I can not recommend this company enough. Great people, wonderful personalities, amazing work done, and fairly priced. Service this good is sadly a rarity now and days.If you need to move anything, book with them, you won't regret it!
Response from the owner:Thank you Lyndsay, It was a pleasure to work for you. You were kind and respectful of the fellas, which really means the world to me your prompt and efficient communication made coordinating a breeze! We know there are no shortage of options, so thank you for choosing us! If ever you need us in the future, please remember, when you’re ready, we’re SETT! Respectfully, Steven, Tara, and the SETT Movers Team.

We moved from F River to Waretown 9/19. We had 4 guys (Castro-Chris-Frank-Mike). All 4 were courteous, conscientious and very hard working. Castro was key to the success of our move ...... a move veteran with the experience to guide the crew and ensure a successful effort.
Response from the owner:Thanks Michael! It is our collective goal to see each customer is given a great moving experience! We are happy to know we met our mark with you!

I am so grateful we chose this company for our big transition!

Steve came to the house to estimate what size truck was needed and Tara was very responsive in setting up a date. Movers came on time and were quick, efficient and very careful in packing and covering the furniture and loading and unloading all of it. I would recommend this company to whoever is planning a move. Ours was local but I’m sure they’re just as efficient on long distance trips as well.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jo Ann, We appreciate your kind athletes as well as your business. Should you meet us in the future just remember, when you’re ready, we are SETT. Respectfully, Steven, Tara, and the SETT Movers Team.

In April 2026, I, started planning a cross-country move from New Jersey to Texas and contacted several moving companies to compare costs. Like many people, I, was trying to make the most affordable decision. Sett Movers provided a competitive quote, but, I, ultimately chose a container service because it initially appeared cheaper-something I know regret. Tara from Sett movers stayed in touch and was incredibly helpful. She explained that they also offer container services, and after speaking with her, I decided to hire Sett movers for the loading portion instead of a cheaper company. That decision turned out to be one of the best I made during this move. When moving day came, the container service had advised me that a single 16-foot container would be enough for my two-bedroom home. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I quickly found myself in a stressful situation needing an additional container, rescheduling service, and facing unexpected costs. Throughout all of this, the team from Sett Movers was outstanding. They arrived early, worked efficiently, and were extremely professional. When things did not go as planned due to the container issues, Tara went above and beyond to help me navigate the situation. She communicated every step of the way and did everything she could to accommodate my tight timeline-even arranging for her crew to return on a Saturday afternoon finish the job. This crew-Chris, Mike , AJ, Rob Jr., and the rest of the team-were incredible. They worked tirelessly, stayed late, and handled my belongings with care and professionalism. Their work ethic and dedication truly stood out during an otherwise stressful experience. Unfortunately, the container service ended up costing far more than expected due to hidden fees and poor guidance. What initially seemed like the cheaper option turned into a much more expensive and stressful process. Looking back, I, wish I had trusted Sett Movers with the entire move from the start. Their transparency, reliability , communication, and professionalism are unmatched. They truly care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you are planning a move, take my advice-go with a reputable moving company like Sett movers. It will save you time, money, and a lot of stress. Thank you again Tara and the entire team for going above and beyond. I truly appreciate everything you did to hep me get to Texas.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tabatha, We really appreciate you sharing your story so that others hopefully won’t make the same choice. If ever you or your family needs us in the future, please remember when you are ready, we are SETT. Respectfully, Steven, Tara, and the SETT Movers Team.

We had a small moving job that needed to be done right away. I found Sett Movers through and AI search and called, reached a very helpful young lady who took the information. We received a call back the next day and our job was scheduled right away. Our experience with Sett Movers was positive all around; the delivery men, Rob, Paul, AJ and Rick were very careful and went the extra mile in wrapping the furniture to avoid any damage. We'd recommend this company.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The township bars trucks over four tons from residential streets and lots between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., so we load and unload during the day and the truck leaves with the last box.

Yes, on the bayfront and the barrier island. Most of Ortley Beach sits in FEMA flood zones, Silverton’s low-lying streets flooded badly in Sandy, and a flooded street means the truck cannot reach the house. On a lagoon or a beach block, we watch the forecast the week before and move the date if a storm is coming.

Usually, yes. A move from Silverton to Holiday City stays inside the township and skips the Parkway, so most of the day goes to loading and unloading rather than driving.

Tell us about every step between the truck and the front door. For a condo or townhouse, that means the elevator, the loading area, the association’s move-in hours and any paperwork the building asks for. For a waterfront home, it means the exterior stairs, the driveway length and whether the street floods.

Yes. Holiday City, Silver Ridge Park, Holiday Heights and Holiday City at Silverton are all inside our Toms River service area. We work within the daytime hours those sections allow for commercial vehicles and can pack and load on separate days when that makes a downsizing move easier.
