Moving Services in New Canaan
As an experienced moving company in New Canaan, Connecticut, Jim Fahey Moving & Storage helps families from downtown to Silvermine with local movers, long-distance relocations, and meticulous packing for antiques and fine art. New Canaan's historic estates and mid-century homes require crews who understand careful handling.
We manage every phase of your move — from initial walkthrough to final placement. Our packing specialists bring boxes, bubble wrap, tape, packing paper, wardrobe cartons, and custom crating for artwork, mirrors, and heirlooms. Same-day service is available for urgent relocations within New Canaan.
Climate-controlled storage keeps your belongings safe when closings don't line up. We hold Connecticut PUC License #1767 for Connecticut intrastate moves and FMCSA USDOT 2099102 | MC‑732191 for relocations to New York, New Jersey, and any other state.
Local moving insights for New Canaan: Historic homes along Oenoke Ridge and Frogtown Road often have narrow driveways and low tree canopies — we measure access before assigning truck size. The village center and Elm Street area have limited commercial parking; we coordinate with the town when permits are needed. Silvermine's winding roads and artist-studio conversions require extra care for fragile works. New Canaan sits between the Merritt Parkway and I-95 — we never use the Parkway for trucks and instead route via local roads or I-95. School-year transitions in late August create peak demand; book early. Explore our Darien, Wilton, and Fairfield County service pages.

"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!"
