Sorcha C.

"Amazing service--start to finish. Max was professional, the bid was in the ballpark of other quotes I got, but he was able to accomodate a slightly complicated itinerary with no hassle. The crew led by Tony were efficient, careful, and nice, even though they were dealing with some raw, wet weather. The best move of my life!"

"I encountered a lot of personal issues on my end, waiting for an apartment was a main concern. I kept a close communication with Maxwell and things went as best as I could have hope for, they were able to cover all the unexpected occurrences. I definitely recommend this company as they are able to handle any type of situation at a moment's notice, they were professional and efficient on their timing and also very conscious of my budget. Thank you!"

The Serenity Pricing Process
Your All-Inclusive Flat-Rate Quote
How We Calculate Your Guaranteed Price
Detailed Inventory Assessment
We take the time to understand exactly what's moving—from your large furniture to the number of boxes—using our digital inventory tool or a quick photo walkthrough.
NYC Logistic Factor
We account for your specific building requirements (COIs), elevator access, and parking logistics upfront so there are no "surprises" on move day.
The Locked-In Rate
Once we provide your quote, it is 100% fixed. No hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, and no change in price unless your inventory does.
Instant COI for Seamless
Building Approval
We handle the paperwork so you don't have to. Every Serenity move includes a comprehensive Certificate of Insurance tailored to your building's specific requirements.
24-Hour Rapid Processing
We generate and send your COI directly to your building management within one business day.
Full NYC Compliance
Our policies meet the high-liability requirements of NYC's strictest luxury doorman buildings and commercial hubs.
Zero Additional Cost
Unlike movers who charge administrative fees, our COIs are always free — included with every move.

We've had great experiences working with Maxwell and Serenity Movers. Had stuff in storage for about 2 years and just moved up to Rochester NY. The guys that were sub-contracted to move our stuff up there were phenomenal. Shout out to Vlad and his crew. They worked cleanly and expediently (a major accomplishment considering it was about 10 degrees outside and snowy.)

I had another excellent experience with Serenity Movers! (They helped us 4 or 5 times already). They helped us move my 3-bedroom apartment and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The team was fast, professional, and handled everything with care. Great service from start to finish—highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable movers!
