Company information

The Padded Wagon has been around for a long time. To give you an idea, The Padded Wagon was established when Harry Truman was moving out of the White House. Thanks to the capable leadership of its current owner, Eddie Dowling, The Padded Wagon remains New York's largest moving and storage company. Family-owned and operated, a central management oversees all operations. Eddie's crew doesn't outsource or hire subcontractors, whether it's a local, long-distance, or international move. Your belongings will stay inside the truck they were loaded into until they reach their destination. Similarly, they will never exceed the quote they've given you. If your move costs less than expected, they will charge you as such. If it's more, they won't exceed the original cost. The Padded Wagon has enough experience to execute residential and commercial relocations flawlessly. It also provides safe and secure storage solutions for those who need them. These movers will handle the packing and crating to save you time and energy. What's more, they will also unpack, organize, and set up your new place. This way, they handle the heavy lifting, and you get to enjoy the process.
