From colonial estates along Hopmeadow Street to wooded lots in West Simsbury, we bring more than a century of moving expertise to the Farmington Valley. Our crews handle local, long-distance, and interstate relocations across Simsbury and the greater Hartford County area with the same organized, detail-oriented approach on every job.
MOVING YOU CAN TRUST SINCE DAY ONE
We have been a family-owned operation since 1914, and that continuity shows in how we work. As an authorized Mayflower® agent and ProMover®-certified carrier, we combine national network reach with the kind of local accountability that only comes from generations of doing this work in Connecticut.
One point of contact manages your relocation from the first walkthrough through final delivery. No handoffs, no gaps in communication.
Certification through the American Trucking Associations reflects verified training, ethical standards, and a consistent commitment to professional household moving.
Our Mayflower® affiliation supports long-distance and interstate relocations with national carrier resources and local oversight on every job.
Simsbury is a town of large-lot, single-family properties, many of them multi-story colonials and Capes with original hardwood floors, finished basements, and architectural details that require more than a standard approach. Moves here often involve more planning than the average relocation, and we plan for that from day one.
Simsbury sits within a busy Hartford County business corridor, and commercial relocations here require the same level of planning and coordination we bring to residential relocations. We work around your schedule, coordinate with building management, and keep downtime to a minimum.
Simsbury’s housing market reflects a town of established, high-value single-family properties where most residents are long-term owners.

Simsbury’s four village areas each present their own property types, road conditions, and access considerations. We plan around these specifics before the crew arrives, not after.
The Hopmeadow Street corridor has older colonials and Capes with narrow entryways, period staircases, and limited on-street parking near the town center. Advanced truck positioning and access planning are standard here.
Established neighborhoods along the Farmington River sit on spacious, wooded lots with long private driveways. Homes are typically set well back from the road, so driveway clearance and crew staging are planned in advance on every job.
The most rural part of town brings open farmland, low-density road patterns, and seasonal conditions, including spring mud and limited winter road treatment. We assess site access before scheduling is finalized.
This older mill-village neighborhood has narrow village-era streets and a compact layout that requires smaller vehicle coordination or an advanced site review before the move begins.
Simsbury’s property landscape and seasonal conditions create planning considerations that simply do not come up in denser Connecticut markets. A few steps taken early make a significant difference on the day itself.
✔ Review property access before booking: Long driveways in Weatogue and West Simsbury, and the tight streets through Tariffville, affect vehicle sizing and positioning. Flag these during the walkthrough so we plan the right equipment from the start.
✔ Account for seasonal conditions: Spring mud and winter ice affect wooded lots and rural routes throughout town. Scheduling early in the day and confirming surface conditions with your coordinator ahead of time keeps things on track.
✔ Note historic features in your home: Original hardwood floors, low-clearance stairwells, and period proportions require specific padding and handling techniques. Identifying these during the estimate means we arrive prepared.
✔ Keep valuables and documents with you: Jewelry, financial records, and irreplaceable personal items should travel with you on moving day, not in the truck.
✔ Verify credentials for any interstate move: Any company transporting household goods across state lines must hold active FMCSA registration and a valid USDOT number. Confirm both before committing.
Before signing with any moving company in the Hartford County market, every homeowner should verify a few essential qualifications. These are not differentiators; they are minimums.
Connecticut intrastate movers must meet CT Department of Consumer Protection requirements. Interstate movers must hold active FMCSA registration and a valid USDOT number.
Released value and full-value protection work very differently. Know the distinction before anything is loaded, not after something goes wrong.
Verbal quotes may be difficult to rely on in a dispute. A reputable mover provides a written estimate covering labor, transportation, and applicable fees before work begins.
A single dedicated point of contact keeps the process organized and resolves issues faster. Ask who manages your relocation before you commit.
Our coverage extends across Hartford County and into the communities surrounding Simsbury. Whether you are moving between village areas or relocating to a neighboring town, we have crews who know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the access conditions throughout the region.
Our movers near you serve Avon, Canton, Granby, East Granby, Bloomfield, West Hartford, Hartford, and surrounding Hartford County communities.
Simsbury’s large-lot, multi-story colonials and Capes come with long driveways, period architectural details, and access conditions that vary across all four village areas. A crew familiar with these specifics plans more efficiently and runs into fewer surprises on the day.
Local moves benefit from four to six weeks of lead time, while long-distance or interstate relocations tied to a closing date benefit from eight to twelve weeks. Spring and summer availability fills quickly, so booking early is always the safer move.
Yes. Period furniture, antiques, and fine art require specialty packing and custom crating, and identifying these items during the pre-move walkthrough gives the crew time to arrive with the right materials and approach already planned.
Driveways on wooded lots and rural routes in West Simsbury can become icy or snow-packed, and some back roads receive limited treatment after a storm. Sharing access conditions with your coordinator ahead of time and scheduling early in the day keeps things on track.
Yes. We offer full-service climate-controlled storage for households navigating a timing gap, with your coordinator managing the entire transition. This is not a self-storage arrangement; our team handles every step on your behalf.

We are so grateful to Murphy Moving for a flawless move. We have used Murphy three other times, and we will happily use them again for any future moves. Len and Lisa were super helpful on the front end in providing a quote, scheduling the move, giving us suggestions, and answering all of our questions. They checked in throughout the process to make sure all was going well. Our movers, Marcelo and Fillipe, were amazing. They encountered more than a few challenges with multiple stairs, and lots of tight turns in narrow hallways. Their attitudes were very pleasant throughout and all of our belongings were handled with much care. They did a great job!
There aren't enough compliments to give Murphy Moving and Storage! In summary, the patient and caring guidance from Geraldine, the continual communication and support from Kyla , the safe long term storage, and the very remarkable moving skills and talent by Beto and his team made our (four month) moving experience an absolute pleasure. We valued our trusting relationship and are happy for future families who will be in their very personal and highly professional care. Thank you over and again Murphy Moving and Storage. We wouldn't be where we are without you!
We were very fortunate to find Murphy Moving and Storage for our complicated relocation that also required storage. Geraldine, Kyla and Beto and his team of movers were all very personable and professional. They maintained excellent communication with us throughout our moving process. They made a very stressful situation pleasant and enjoyable. We felt so comfortable with Geraldine when she visited our home for the inventory and offered suggestions and encouragement for preparing to move. Kyla was in frequent communication and so patient with editing my changing inventory and arranging a schedule for pick up. Beto and his team of movers were friendly while remaining focused on their individual tasks and their teamwork was remarkable. They wrapped each piece of furniture so well and treated each piece of furniture and every carton as if it were a precious jewel, not to mention how well they arranged the pieces for safe transportation in the moving van. We feel Murphy Moving and Storage is a trustworthy company. We felt and continue to feel confident in their care of us and our 39 years of accumulated and valued possessions. We highly recommend Murphy Moving and Storage and we thank you for your service.
