Local moving insights for Fairfield County: The Merritt Parkway (Route 15) is a historic scenic parkway with a strict commercial vehicle ban — no moving trucks, no exceptions. All our crews route via I-95 or local roads for every move in the county. Peak moving season runs June through September, driven by school-year transitions; book 3–4 weeks ahead during those months. Each of the county's 24 towns has different permit requirements for large trucks on residential streets — we handle all permit coordination. Long Island Sound shoreline towns (Westport, Fairfield, Greenwich, Norwalk) have seasonal parking restrictions in beach neighborhoods, typically May through October. For any move that crosses into New York or New Jersey, our federal FMCSA authority (USDOT 2099102 | MC-732191) covers the relocation end to end. Read our Fairfield County moving cost guide, our summer movers guide, our back-to-school moving guide, and our Connecticut moving checklist for full planning resources.

Real reviews from families and businesses we've moved across Fairfield County
"John and his team moved us to our new home today. I am beyond happy with how wonderful they were. It was a seamless move. I'm amazed at how they maneuvered all of our large furniture without one scratch or bump. Very impressive. They were a pleasure to work with. I absolutely recommend them if you are looking for a skilled moving company with reasonable prices. Thank you John and team!!"
"We moved house today with Jim Fahey Moving. From first contact to today, they have been responsive, professional and courteous. They did an exceptional job. They completed the move in great time, they were careful and they reconstructed all the furniture perfectly. They were really reasonable too. We've done around 8 moves in the last decade, some international, but I can honestly say that they were the best we've ever had. I highly recommend them!"
"John and his crew of 2 were exceptionally strategic and careful with all of our belongings for our move within town. They packed most of our things late afternoon on a Sunday and then came back Monday morning to finish up. John was very flexible with the timing of our move being that the original closing date was postponed 3 days. He was attentive and professional and it was comforting having John (the owner) on site during the entire process! Very fair price and highly recommended!"
