Sopko Moving and Storage

Two clean ways to price it, and Michael walks you through both. By the hour it is $115 for a two-mover crew and truck, $155 for three, and $205 for four, and the clock starts when we reach your door, not at the yard. When the job is clear up front we lock one flat rate by home size instead — a studio runs about $360 to $590, a one-bedroom $590 to $980, a two-bedroom $980 to $1,680, a three-bedroom $1,680 to $2,780, and a four-bedroom $2,780 to $4,380. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off, the front steps or elevator on each end, and how the parking reads, and we hand you a written figure — the rate we quote anywhere across Manville and Somerset County is the rate you settle on move day, blue-ribbon and on budget.

Yes. We are licensed for household moves anywhere in New Jersey under a NJ Public Mover license, and we carry US DOT and MC authority for interstate runs, so a Hillsborough job and a haul up the Turnpike to Boston both ride on proper paperwork. Every move carries $1 million in cargo coverage, and we send our credentials or a Certificate of Insurance straight to a New Brunswick loft, a Bridgewater high-rise, or any building management or HOA that needs one on file before the date.

The whole job, start to finish, not just the truck ride. Our crew pads and shrink-wraps the furniture, breaks down bed frames and tables, and lays floor and doorway protection before anything leaves the house. Want it all handled? We bring the boxes, paper, and tape and pack the place for you, full or partial. Local or long-distance, a home or an office, with packing or storage on either end — one Sopko crew runs the same blue-ribbon routine on every piece, pianos and gun safes right alongside the boxes, so you are never chasing three different vendors on move day.

Saturdays and the last week of the month fill up first, so allow two or three weeks of lead time on those, and a touch more when a New Brunswick loft or a Bridgewater high-rise has to reserve a freight-elevator window. Weekdays and mid-month dates often open up on just a few days’ notice, and when a truck is sitting free we are happy to take last-minute or same-day work. Call (888) 711-4778 and we will tell you straight what is still on the board.

Most local Manville moves take nothing down — a quick confirmation call the day before is all we need. Long-haul interstate jobs and the busiest Saturday dates hold the slot with a small refundable deposit, and every dollar of it comes right off your final balance.

Manville and right across Somerset County — Hillsborough, Bridgewater, Somerville, Bound Brook, Bedminster, Branchburg, Raritan, Franklin Township, Basking Ridge, Warren, and the rest of Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mercer, and Morris counties in between. We run I-287, Route 206, Route 22, Route 28, and US-202 every day, handling everything from a Raritan studio to a brick walk-up with steep front steps in Bound Brook, and we head out across New Jersey, the I-95 corridor, and beyond on the long hauls on a regular basis.

Yes. We run our own clean, dry storage right here in Manville, including climate-controlled units for wood furniture, electronics, artwork, and anything else that does not like temperature swings. You can store by the month for as long as you need, and the same crew that packs you out can move you back in when you are ready.

Both, depending on the move. Local jobs are usually billed at an honest hourly rate for the crew and truck, while long-distance and larger relocations get a written flat-rate quote based on an in-home or video survey. Either way you approve the price in writing before move day — no curbside surprises.

We take a small, fully credited deposit to hold your date on the calendar, and it comes straight off your final bill. During our busy spring and summer season dates fill up fast, so the sooner you book, the better your odds of locking in the day and time you want.

Every move includes basic carrier liability coverage as required by law, and we carry $1M cargo coverage on every move. For higher-value households we offer full-value protection so a damaged or lost item is repaired or replaced at its actual value. We are happy to walk you through the options before you sign.

Absolutely. Many condos, high-rises, and office buildings in Somerset County require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the property as additional insured before move day. Send us your building’s requirements and management contact and our office will issue the COI well ahead of your move — at no extra charge.
