As a leading moving company in Stamford, Connecticut, Jim Fahey Moving & Storage handles local movers and long-distance relocations for Harbor Point apartments, Shippan homes, and downtown offices. Our seasoned crews manage building logistics and every detail of your move.
We know the logistical challenges that come with Stamford moves — building regulations, parking permits, elevator reservations, and loading dock schedules. Our team coordinates with property management so your move day runs without a hitch.
Every move includes the option of full-service packing with all materials supplied. We bring the boxes, bubble wrap, tape, packing paper, wardrobe boxes, and specialty containers for artwork, electronics, and other fragile items. Need storage? Our secure, climate-controlled facilities keep your belongings safe until you're ready. Jim Fahey Moving & Storage holds Connecticut PUC License #1767 for local and intrastate moves, and FMCSA USDOT 2099102 | MC‑732191 for any interstate relocation.
Local moving insights for Stamford: The Merritt Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles — our trucks use I-95 (Exits 6–9) for all Stamford routes. Downtown and Harbor Point buildings require reserved loading-dock windows and a COI — most buildings ask for $1M general liability, which we provide with 24-hour notice. Springdale, Glenbrook, and North Stamford neighborhoods are more accessible, but Long Ridge Road and some back-country streets have weight-posted bridges we confirm in advance. Metro-North grade crossings near the Stamford station can cause brief delays on move day; we build buffer time into schedules. Our Fairfield County moving cost guide covers pricing factors, and our summer moving guide explains when to book for Stamford's busiest months.
Downtown Stamford — Atlantic Street, Bedford Street, Broad Street, and the Metro-North station corridor — is Fairfield County's densest office and apartment market. High-rise residential towers and Class-A office buildings require freight-elevator reservations (often 2–3 weeks ahead), loading-dock time slots, and COI naming the landlord. Walk-up apartments along Main Street and Summer Street need street-parking permits from the city; we coordinate permits and plan carry distances before move day. For office movers in Stamford, see our commercial movers page.
Harbor Point is Stamford's waterfront redevelopment district — high-rise apartments and condos along Washington Boulevard and the South End waterfront. Building management enforces strict move-in/move-out windows, elevator padding requirements, and certificate-of-insurance rules. Our crews are experienced with Harbor Point's dock schedules, lobby protection, and after-hours residential moves when buildings restrict daytime freight access.
Shippan, Glenbrook, Springdale, and North Stamford offer a mix of shoreline colonials, split-levels on wooded lots, and larger estates on Long Ridge and High Ridge Roads. Shippan Point moves often involve tight coastal driveways; North Stamford estates may need bridge surveys and multi-truck logistics. Whether you are moving within Stamford, relocating from Norwalk or Greenwich, or heading out of state, we assign crews who know Stamford's building stock and traffic patterns.

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!"
