Moving Companies in Middletown, NY
As you compare the mover cards below, start with the licence line and insurance badge before price. A valid NYSDOT number is the baseline for an in-state move, and the insurance badge should tell you whether the quote carries only basic carrier liability or full value protection.
Weighing licence, insurance, and review count
Basic carrier liability pays $0.60 per pound per article, so a $1,000 television would recover only $60. If the badge instead shows full value protection, the coverage is stronger. After those checks pass, use the review count as a tiebreaker: recent reviews about similar home sizes and local jobs count more than a large total alone.

Ask about stairs, long carry distances, and heavy items, because Hudson Valley crews often add fees for those. Booking from October through April may improve availability or hourly rates, though snow and ice can delay the truck. Pay the bill by card or certified check, and keep cash for crew tips if you choose to tip.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Orange County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 28% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
