Why book us
Six reasons Hackensack keeps calling Lighthouse Van Lines back
Geared up before we arrive
Pads, shrink wrap, wardrobe boxes, mattress bags, stair-climbing dollies, ramps for a tight curb — it is all on the truck when we pull up, whether the job is a third-floor Teaneck walk-up or a Paramus colonial with a piano in the den. You should not have to run to the hardware store on moving day.
Covered, top to bottom
We carry full liability protection and $1M in cargo coverage on every load, plus a New Jersey public mover license and federal DOT authority. Translation: from the first box out the door to the last one set down, your things are insured and the company moving them is the real thing.
One number, no asterisks
Your rate gets written down and emailed over before you ever commit — not mumbled on a call you will misremember later. On move day there is no ticking hourly meter, no surprise fuel surcharge, no “stairs fee” invented at the curb. What we wrote is what you owe.
We actually live here
The office is on Main Street in , not a call center in another time zone. Our drivers know the Route 4 merge that backs up at 5, which Hackensack blocks ban a 26-footer, and how the Fort Lee towers handle their freight elevators — so the day runs short on surprises.
A crew, not a lineup of strangers
The movers on your job are full-time employees, background-checked and in company shirts. We do not pad the truck with day labor or sell your move off to a third party — the same crew that loads in Hackensack is the crew that unloads at the other end.
Where the dings usually happen
Doorframes, stair corners, the back of a flat-screen — that is where moves go wrong, so that is where we slow down, with corner guards and a second set of hands. The overwhelming majority of our jobs finish with zero damage claims, narrow North Jersey staircases included.
Working all over North Jersey
That is our fleet and our payroll in the photo — no rented vans, no subcontractors. The crew Frank listed on your estimate is the same crew you will be shaking hands with on moving morning.

The guys were awesome. Willing to work with me with items that needed to be taken apart a certain way and put back together, as well as where and how I wanted to place things in the new home. They did run later than expected for arrival, but called and communicated that with me. Which to me is what matters most. Price was more than reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service. They wrapped up anything that could scratch or break, and they worked HARD! You will not find anyone around Bergen County and the surrounding areas that will give this level of quality with affordability.
Tell us what you are working with and we size the crew and truck to match. One-bedroom over a Main Street storefront, a four-bed in Ridgewood, a quick hop across Hackensack or a run down I-95 to another state — Lighthouse Van Lines is set up for all of it across North Jersey.
Hand us the whole kitchen and the bookshelves; our packers wrap glassware and electronics inside reinforced cartons, then seal every box tight so nothing shifts over a Route 4 pothole or a salted winter road.
Storage Solutions
Closings rarely line up clean, so when a gap opens we hold what you own in heated storage kept dry and above freezing right through a January nor'easter, charged monthly with no contract and no minimum.
Piano Moving
Pianos travel on a plan of their own: Sal's team eases spinets, uprights, and baby grands through narrow Bergen County walk-ups and tight high-rise landings, wrapped in pads and lashed to a board for the haul.
Gun Safe & Safe Moving
A loaded gun vault or a half-ton floor strongbox won't budge on muscle alone, which is why our movers ramp the load, strap that weight to a heavy moving skid, and guide it over hardwood, tile, or a flight of steps without marking the floor.
Priced once, in writing
Before anything gets loaded you already have a single all-in figure in hand. No meter running against the clock, no mid-move add-ons. The number Frank gives you and the number on the final invoice match to the dollar — that is the whole point.
We show when we say
You get a real arrival window and we keep it. If a nor’easter dumps a foot of snow or the front steps glaze over with ice, the phone still gets answered and we work the plan around it. A closing date is not something we gamble with.
Meet the owner
The owner, Frank Delvecchio
“I started Lighthouse Van Lines to be the steady, straight-talking crew Bergen County families could count on, a fixed point in a move that is usually all chaos”
Grew up in Hackensack and worked his uncle's moving truck around Bergen County through high school, then put in fifteen years running crews for a North Jersey van line before starting his own. Frank still reads every estimate himself — which is why your price holds and the crew at your door is exactly the one you were promised.
Yes. Lighthouse Van Lines is a licensed and insured moving company run out of Hackensack, NJ — carrying a New Jersey public mover license plus US DOT and MC authority for the cross-state work. We cover everyday local jobs, long-distance hauls and the tricky specialty stuff right across North Jersey and Bergen County.
How much will it cost?
Every move has its own quirks, so we do not quote off a generic chart. Walk us through the inventory, the access at both ends and your dates; we figure the real labor and truck time, then send back one written flat rate. No padding, and nothing new waiting for you at the curb.
Do you use your own movers or subcontract it out?
Our own, every time. Lighthouse trucks, Lighthouse W-2 movers, from the first carton to the last — there is no broker skimming the middle and no day-labor agency in the mix. The crew Frank assigns on your estimate is the crew that does the job.
What kinds of moves can you take on?
Short local jobs across North Jersey, moves that stay inside NJ, and long hauls from Hackensack to anywhere in the lower 48. The heavy and the fragile are no problem either — a baby grand, a 700-pound gun safe, a houseful of antiques are all routine for our crew.
Areas we serve
A Hackensack mover that covers the whole county
From the Main Street office out to the far edge of the county, Lighthouse Van Lines covers all of North Jersey. On any given day our trucks are working Teaneck, Paramus, Fort Lee — so the crew at your door already knows the streets, the building loading rules, and how to dodge the worst of the Route 4 and 17 traffic instead of learning it on your clock.
Pass along your current ZIP and the one you are headed to; most folks have a written flat-rate quote sitting in their inbox inside a single business hour.
Got a North Jersey move on the calendar? Frank will set one flat number against it.
Hand us the ZIP you are starting from, the ZIP you are landing at, and the day you have circled. Frank steadies it into one flat rate on paper and has it back to you inside a business hour.
