As a premier moving company in Greenwich, Connecticut, Jim Fahey Moving & Storage serves local movers and long-distance relocations for Belle Haven waterfront estates, mid-country homes, and downtown luxury condos—with the care high-value properties demand.
Our crews are trained in handling high-value items — grand pianos, fine art, antique furniture, wine collections, and custom cabinetry. We use specialty packing techniques and materials to protect every piece. All packing materials are supplied by us: custom-sized boxes, acid-free packing paper, heavy-duty bubble wrap, picture and mirror cartons, and reinforced wardrobe boxes.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, relocating to Manhattan, or simply moving across town, we coordinate every detail including COI certificates for gated communities, elevator reservations, and building management requirements. Our climate-controlled storage facilities are available for items that need a temporary home between moves. We hold Connecticut PUC License #1767 for local and intrastate moves; Greenwich-to-NYC relocations cross state lines and are covered by our FMCSA USDOT 2099102 | MC‑732191 federal authority.
Local moving insights for Greenwich: The Merritt Parkway bans commercial vehicles entirely — all our trucks use I-95 or US-1 (Post Road). Back Country roads often have 10-ton (or lower) weight postings and private road agreements with the town; we confirm every route 48 hours in advance. COI requirements in Greenwich are nearly universal — most luxury buildings and gated communities require $1M–$2M general liability, which we provide on request. Tod's Point (Greenwich Point) beach access is closed to commercial traffic on summer weekends, affecting surrounding neighborhoods; we schedule around those windows. Any move from Greenwich into New York (including Port Chester or Manhattan) triggers interstate FMCSA requirements — we are fully authorized. See our long-distance & nationwide moving page for Greenwich-to-NYC and other interstate route details, and our Fairfield County moving cost guide for pricing context.

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!"
