The White Glove Treatment
We are licensed to perform local moves in New Jersey and New York to relocate customers to any location in the continental United States, including Alabama.
White Glove is also happy to offer a flat price on your long distance moving from New York to Alabama. Our prices are based on your inventory rather than charging based on factors like weight or cubic feet. This helps eliminate variable on the move day and gives our consumers complete control over your price and removes all surprises.
Benefits of Living in Alabama
Leaving New York is a tough decision, but making a move down south carries a lot of benefits. Your move to Alabama may give you a bit of a culture shock, so it might help a bit to learn the lingo. When people ask “who are you for,” you’re expected to respond with “Alabama” or “Auburn.” (Roll Tide or War Eagle are acceptable, too.) If you’re getting ready to do something, you’re “fittinto,” you always “cut on” the lights, and when you “run to the Pig” (grocery store) you push a “buggy” (cart) and stow your groceries in a “sack” (plastic bag). Also, be aware that if someone says “bless your heart,” it’s probably meant as an insult.
If you’re leaving New York to escape the hustle and bustle, Alabama is the place for you. Life is much more laid back, with friendly faces and helping hands everywhere you look. Be sure not to fall victim to the stereotypes: Alabama is home to some of the most well-educated professionals in the country (Huntsville is known as Rocket City, after all, and has one of the world’s most well-educated populations).

Discover Alabama’s Rich History
As the birthplace of the Confederacy leading up to the Civil War, Alabama’s racially divisive past is well known. But the state is also the site of some key events in the Civil Rights Movement, where Martin Luther King, Jr. preached, where Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat, and where thousands of peaceful protestors marched across the Edmund Pettis Bridge. The rich history of Alabama has paved the way for a modern-day culture eager to share the hard-won lessons of the last century.
Enjoy Alabama’s Low Cost of Living
Alabama’s low cost of living will allow you much more for your money than what you could get in New York, with the second-lowest property taxes in the United States and a housing market that is incredibly affordable. The housing market is ranked third in the nation for low home prices, with a median home value of $134,300. The rental market is also attractive, ranking fourth in the U.S. for inexpensive rent.
Alabama Has Strong Economic Growth
Alabama has built a strong economic foundation over the last few years, with high-caliber projects continuing to bring new jobs and investment to the state. Trends that are fueling Alabama’s economic growth include a current hiring wave in a number of areas, growth of the automotive industry, significant projects in the distribution and logistics sector, prioritizing recruitment in high-tech jobs, and notable growth potential and investment in the state’s rural communities. All of these components combine to increase the attractiveness of Alabama to employers and continue to fuel the state’s growth in population and industry.
You’ll Love the Amazing Food
Bring your appetite! Alabama restaurants serve up slow-cooked Southern delicacies, elegant fine-dining courses, and the freshest seafood around. You’ll find locally-sourced meat-and-threes dishing out yumminess in large quantities. Be sure to try the fried catfish, fried green tomatoes and, of course, grits, which are practically a food group. Alabama also claims to be THE authority on authentic barbecue. Check out the Alabama Barbecue Hall of Fame if you need convincing. Of course you’ll need a sweet tea to wash it all down, and order up some banana pudding for dessert. You’re welcome.

Explore Family-friendly Attractions
The Cotton State is home to some well-known, family-friendly tourist attractions. The U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville houses a huge collection of rockets and space memorabilia. The highly interactive GulfQuest National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico in Mobile is the only maritime museum in the world that focuses on the significance of the Gulf of Mexico. In Birmingham, the Civil Rights Institute promotes the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The state’s oldest and largest wildlife rehabilitation center is not to be missed, with its 2,000 wild birds representing over 100 different species.
Get Caught Up In Competitive Sports
Football is king in the Yellowhammer State. From Friday night lights at local high school stadiums to Saturdays at Auburn and the 18-time national championship-winning Alabama, you will find the stands full of fans. Other sports have also gained a following, including the wildly popular Talladega auto racing. Minor league baseball teams in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile also draw some crowds, and the Huntsville Havoc hockey team shows that even Southerners can appreciate the ice.

Enjoy the Mild Winters
Moving to Alabama, you won’t have to sacrifice experiencing all four seasons, but you will likely not need your sleds or snow blowers. The state experiences cold weather in winters, but snow is rare. Be prepared for humidity, however…with average July and August temperatures over 90 degrees, the summer months can be hot, sticky and brutal. Depending on where you choose to live within the state, you may also be at increased risk for potentially damaging natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and thunderstorms.
Lose Yourself on Alabama’s Beautiful Beaches
We can’t forget one of the state’s best features: proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. From Orange Beach to Gulf Shores, people flock to the emerald green waters and white sand beaches. Regardless of where you live in the state, you won’t be far from the beauty and relaxation of the ocean.

White Glove’s Long-Distance Price Lock Guarantee
White Glove is proud to be the only long-distance mover in New Jersey & New York to offer “Long-Distance Price Lock.”
This means the price we quote you before your move is always the price you pay after the move.
No hidden fees, no circumstantial costs, no nickel or diming you for things you didn’t agree to. That’s one of the ways we make your moving day a White Glove experience. Learn more about other commitments we make to our customers.

What others are saying
See what our satisfied customers have to say about their seamless moving experiences with White Glove Moving & Storage.
Simply, I would not recommend using this moving company.
From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and patient. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and were transparent about timelines and costs—no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
We all got to the unit after 6pm ( 8 hours later) as the men started to unload. The first truck was unloaded and packed in storage unit to the brim. When the 2nd truck opened at the loading dock the truck looked like it flipped upside down. All my boxes were crushed and I was horrified. As they started to fill the 2nd unit Marlon approached me and said this unit is not enough space to store the remaining items. I looked at him and said what do we do and he didn’t know, he called the company and they had no idea either. I said how can this happen as their coordinator came to access and told me what was needed. They agreed to hold the items in their truck but will charge me for storage until I can secure yet another unit in the morning.
The next day I spoke with Margaret Lombardi, executive director who told me the company is not responsible to give information on what size unit the customer needs when using self storage? Why does a coordinating rep come and take pics and offer this advice, he never indicated it was up to me and even recommended storage places to use nearby.
Although the movers were professional enough the day was almost 12 hrs for them, they were tired and getting sloppy as time went on, my home was left with debris & the floors were scuffed from moving. I felt the company made me feel this was my fault.
I would never recommend this company even if they were for free!!!!!!
Not only were they fast and meticulous, but they were also friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Truly top-notch service—they went above and beyond. If anyone deserves a raise, it's this crew!
A big shoutout as well to Brittany from the office. She was a dream to work with—proactive, professional, and super efficient. She reached out to me first, stayed in contact via text and email, and made the entire scheduling process seamless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—she handled everything smoothly from start to finish.
We’ve had two flawless experiences with White Glove Movers. No issues, no damage, just exceptional service from a great company with a stellar team. I highly recommend them, especially for long-distance moves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly White Glove Experience – Thank You, Emad & Team!
We recently moved from South Jersey to Sussex County, and choosing White Glove Movers was the best decision we could have made. From the very first conversation, Emad Ezzat was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Emad took the time to understand our needs, answer every question, and provide a clear, fair estimate—no surprises, just honesty and transparency. On moving day, his team arrived exactly on time, fully prepared, and with the kind of positive, can-do attitude that instantly put us at ease.
The crew worked with precision and care, treating every piece of furniture and box as if it were their own. Large, heavy items were handled effortlessly, and fragile belongings were wrapped and packed with meticulous attention. Not a single item was damaged in transit—a true testament to their skill and dedication.
Beyond their professionalism, the team’s courtesy stood out. They were respectful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted in our new home. Moving can be exhausting, but with Emad and his crew, it actually felt organized and under control from start to finish.
If you want a moving company that delivers on every promise, treats your belongings with the utmost care, and makes a stressful process feel effortless, look no further than White Glove Movers. We cannot recommend Emad Ezzat and his outstanding team highly enough!

We found WGM through Peloton, as they are certified to move their bikes and treadmills. Russo came to our apartment and did a walk through weeks prior to our move to give us a quote. This blew us away. How professional!
On the day of our move we had a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. We were moving into a brand new townhome so we were concerned about damaging the walls. They protected everything from plastic on the floors/carpets to cardboard to protect the white walls (see photos).
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail cannot be beat. I highly recommend them with the utmost confidence!

We had the pleasure of working with a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. The team was punctual, extremely hard-working, and incredibly thorough. They paid close attention to every detail, including taping up walls and laying down floor coverings to protect the surfaces of our new townhome. This level of care made all the difference in preserving the condition of our new townhome while moving in.
The team worked efficiently and handled all of our belongings with the utmost respect, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. It was clear that they take great pride in their work, and it truly showed in the care they took throughout the process.
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart from other moving companies. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this team and this service enough.
Thank you for a great experience.
We have used moving companies in the past, but White Glove is by far the best we have hired. Oscar the foreman led a top-star team, handling a drizzly day without any issues. Nothing broken. Heaviest furniture moved without any complaints. Bravo!
