Peers Moving Co has been moving Jefferson Township households since 1888 — the north end of Lake Hopatcong, Oak Ridge, Milton, and the Berkshire Valley. It is some of the trickiest access in Morris County, and we have been doing it for generations.
Moving In and Around Jefferson Township
Jefferson is large, hilly, and spread out, and the moving challenges are almost entirely about access. Roads around the lake were laid out for summer cottages, not for 26-foot trucks, and a good number of homes sit below the road with steps down to the front door rather than up to it.
- Lake homes. Steep driveways, tight turns, and houses built into the slope. Many were seasonal cottages that have been extended into year-round homes over the decades.
- Oak Ridge and Milton. More conventional suburban access, but spread across a wide township — worth being specific about the address when you call.
- Seasonal moves. Some households here move on the lake calendar rather than the school one, which means summer weekends book up early.
- Winter access. Between the hills and the shade, some of these roads hold ice long after the main routes are clear. It affects scheduling more than people expect.
Our Moving Services in Jefferson
The full range is available across the township: local moving, residential moving, packing services, storage for seasonal or between-homes gaps, and long-distance moves.
Why a Local Jefferson Crew Matters
Access is the entire job here. A crew that has not worked lake roads will bring the wrong size truck, park in the wrong place, and lose an hour before anything is loaded. Knowing where a truck can turn around, which driveways need a shuttle, and which houses are a stair-carry down rather than up is knowledge you only get from having done it.
We already serve Lake Hopatcong and Mount Arlington on the southern end of the lake. Jefferson is the northern shore, and the same crews cover it.
Jefferson Moving FAQs
Can your truck reach a lake house on a narrow road?
Usually, and where it genuinely cannot we shuttle with a smaller vehicle. Describe the driveway and the road when you call — a couple of photographs settle it immediately.
Do you serve Oak Ridge and Milton as well?
Yes, both are Jefferson Township and both are covered. The township is large, so give us the exact address for an accurate estimate.
Can you move in winter?
Yes. We work year-round. On the steeper lake roads we may adjust timing for conditions, and we will tell you honestly if a date looks risky.
Can you store things between seasons?
Yes. Seasonal storage is common around the lake, and our storage services cover short and longer terms.
