Movers in Chatham, NJ

Since 1888, Peers Moving Co has helped families move to and around Chatham — both the Borough and the Township. Known for top schools and quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods, Chatham is a town families move to, and we make settling in smooth.

Moving In and Around Chatham

• Family homes — Chatham’s larger single-family houses mean more to pack and move; our full-service crews handle it efficiently.
• School-driven moves — many families relocate for the schools, often on a summer or academic-calendar timeline.
• Commuter town — with NYC-bound rail service, we schedule around busy work weeks.
• Established neighborhoods — we know the streets, the driveways and the building rules.

Full-Service Moves for Chatham Families

A move into a Chatham home is often a whole-house move — years of belongings across bedrooms, basements and garages. Our full-service approach, from professional packing to careful furniture handling, keeps it organized instead of overwhelming.

Families choose Chatham for the long haul, and we want your move to start that chapter on the right foot. From the first walkthrough to the last box placed, our crew keeps your Chatham move organized, on schedule and stress-free.

Chatham Areas We Serve

We move both Chatham Borough and Chatham Township — the family homes near the top-rated schools, the tree-lined neighborhoods, the properties toward the Passaic River, and the commuter households near the train. Larger homes and full-house moves are our specialty here.

Family-Owned Care, Morris County Roots

Peers serves Chatham from our Dover base in the heart of Morris County, and after 137 years we know how to make a big family move feel manageable. You get an accountable, family-owned team — not a national chain — handling every box, from the first walkthrough to the last piece of furniture placed.

Moving Day In Chatham

Most Chatham moves are whole-house moves, so the day is planned around volume: how many rooms, how full the basement and garage are, and how much is already packed. Main Street and the streets near the train station are busy on weekday mornings, so we time the truck’s arrival to avoid blocking traffic and confirm in advance where a full-size truck can legally sit. If you are moving into a home with a long front walk or exterior steps, tell us at the estimate. Carry distance is the honest part of an hourly quote, and it should be priced up front, not discovered on the morning.

Being Based In Dover

Chatham sits on the eastern side of Morris County, a straight run from our Dover base. That matters on moving day: the crew starts on time instead of fighting a long commute, and if a move runs into a second day, we are close enough to come back first thing.

Chatham Moving FAQs

How much does it cost to move a larger Chatham home?

Local moves are usually hourly with a two-hour minimum, and the total depends on volume, access and how ready you are when we arrive. For bigger homes we can quote a flat rate once we have seen the job. Either way the basis is in writing before you agree. Our guide to what a move costs explains how the number is built.

Can you move around the school-year schedule?

Yes. Summer is our busiest season for family moves because so many Chatham families time their move to the school calendar. Book two to four weeks ahead for a June, July or August date, and earlier if you need a specific day such as the week before school starts.

Do you offer packing for a whole house?

We do. Our packing service covers full or partial packing, including kitchens, artwork and the fragile items people least want to wrap themselves. Most families pack books and closets themselves and leave the kitchen and breakables to us, which keeps the bill down without making moving day harder.

Do you move between Chatham Borough and Chatham Township?

Yes, and we move in and out of both all the time. Short local moves like this are hourly, so the main cost is loading and unloading rather than driving. If you can schedule the closing dates close together, we can often move you in a single day.

Can you schedule around a commuter’s work week?

Yes. Many Chatham clients commute to New York on the train, so we schedule estimates and moves to suit. Virtual estimates by video call work well if you cannot be home during the day. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 3 pm.

What if my closing date moves?

It happens often. Tell us as soon as you know and we will move the date if the calendar allows. If there is a gap between selling and buying, we offer storage so your belongings are safe until the new house is ready.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are licensed in New Jersey (NJ #39PC00002200), with US DOT #43124 and MC #81955, and we are fully insured. We have been moving Morris County families since 1888.
