Preparing for Moving Day
The process of moving starts long before the movers arrive at your home. Follow these steps to prepare:
Just across the city line along the Chemung River, West Elmira’s quiet residential streets are minutes from our warehouse. We move households here regularly, with crews that know which streets need a smaller truck and how to stage a narrow driveway.
The village where it all began. Sam Naglee founded this company on Horsehead Boulevard in 1912, and we have moved Elmira Heights families without interruption ever since, through its compact village blocks and shared driveways.
From the dense streets near the city line to the rural roads toward the Pennsylvania border, Southport moves cover the full range, and so do we, including the downsizing and estate moves common in a town where families stay for generations.
Country properties with long driveways, workshops, and barns are the signature of Pine City moves. Our crews plan for the whole property, not just the house, with storage for vehicles and equipment fifteen minutes away.
From historic homes around Hanover Square to the newer subdivisions beyond the village, Horseheads is ten minutes up Route 14 from our facility, which keeps scheduling flexible and travel charges low.
Positioned between Elmira and Corning along I-86, minutes from the regional airport, Big Flats is commuter country, and many of its moves follow careers. Our corridor location puts crews at your door fast.
Steep Southside streets, Northside flats, corporate transfers, and more glass per household than anywhere in America. Corning moves reward experience, and ours runs back generations, twenty minutes down I-86.
College town moves run on the academic calendar, and we plan accordingly: lease turnovers, faculty relocations, steep East Hill and South Hill streets, and storage for the gap between housing. About an hour northeast of our base.
An hour east on I-86, Binghamton and the Twin Tiers are regular territory for our crews, from West Side historic homes to university families in Vestal, with long-distance reach through the United network.
Our farthest regular service area, about two hours north. Rochester households use Naglee for long-distance relocations, corporate moves, and fine art transport, with network capability at rates metro movers struggle to match.
Through United Van Lines, Naglee moves families and businesses from the Southern Tier to anywhere in the United States and overseas, and our fine arts division serves clients across New York State and the Northeast. If your community is not listed here, call us anyway; our trucks have seen more of the map than this page shows.
Every move starts with a free, no-obligation estimate and a conversation about what you actually need. From there, our team builds a plan around your schedule, your budget, and your belongings.
With more than 65,000 square feet of capacity, our climate-controlled Elmira facility handles short-term and long-term storage for household goods, and even automobiles, boats, and RVs. Through United Van Lines, we also have access to warehouses across the country.
Paintings, sculptures, and antiques deserve more than moving blankets. Naglee Fine Arts provides museum-grade crating, installation and deinstallation, conservation-quality storage, courier service, and TSA screening for collectors and institutions.
We relocate offices, facilities, and entire teams with as little downtime as possible. From single-office moves to corporate employee relocations across the country, we plan around your business hours, not ours.
From apartments to full households, our residential movers pack, load, transport, and deliver with care. Floors, doorways, and furniture are padded and protected, and your crew arrives when they say they will.
Moving abroad involves customs paperwork, ocean and air freight, and timing that has to be right. As a United Van Lines agent with decades of international experience, we coordinate moves from Elmira to destinations around the world.
Library and university relocations, hotel FF&E installations, and medical equipment moving all require planning that goes beyond a standard move. Our crews are trained and equipped for projects that other movers turn down.

Packing your kitchen can sometimes be one of the most overwhelming parts of your move.
If you are preparing to move out of your house, it is important to start by gathering all of the essential packing supplies:
A failure to properly prep and secure the drums on these appliances can result in costly repairs.
Pack dishes in a dishpacks. A dishpack is sturdier than a typical packing box and is used for fragile items such as dishes and collectibles.
One of the first things to do when you’re moving is to submit a change of address with the Post Office.
Before you start packing up your family room, make sure you have all the supplies you will need:
