 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

Maxwell and his team made for the easiest moving process I've ever experienced, including graciously accommodating a bit of hectic schedule on my end. The move itself was incredibly efficient and on time. The crew was very friendly and professional and all of my items arrived to my new apartment in perfect condition. I HIGHLY recommend them for your move!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred to Serenity by our realtor who has used them personally for multiple moves. That’s a strong endorsement from a discerning client! They earned that and more--they were phenomenal:  on time, professional and so nice! Maxwell, the manager, is amazingly accommodating and adept at handling the stressful moments that come with moves, including rescheduling the date of our move several times, at short notice and without complaint. Serenity’s team moved the contents of our NYC 2 bedroom coop (from a building that has strict requirements for all contractors) to our home in rural CT. They were flawless. All our furniture and art pieces were wrapped perfectly and arrived without any damage whatsoever. The team placed everything exactly where we wanted and couldn’t have been more careful. And they’re reasonable!! We would definitely use them again!! They’re great!!

Gowanus Moving: Our Crew Playbook

Why Gowanus Residents Trust Serenity Movers

Gowanus is one of Brooklyn's most interesting moving challenges - a neighborhood in rapid transition with industrial buildings repurposed as lofts next to brand-new condo towers. Serenity Movers uses an AI video walk-through to understand your specific building access and locks in a flat guaranteed price.

WHAT TO EXPECT MOVING IN GOWANUS:
Gowanus buildings include industrial loft conversions along the canal, pre-war walk-ups on the residential side streets, and new condo buildings near the F and G train stations on Smith Street. Each building type has different access requirements – loft conversions may have loading dock access while new condos have formal freight elevator systems.

BUILDING TYPES AND ELEVATOR ACCESS:
Industrial Gowanus loft buildings often have large freight elevators inherited from their commercial past. New condos on Smith Street and Union Street have modern freight elevator booking systems. Walk-up buildings on the residential blocks have standard stairwell access.

PARKING PERMITS AND TRUCK ACCESS:
Gowanus has good truck access compared to most of Brooklyn – wide industrial streets along the canal and relatively low pedestrian traffic. 3rd Avenue and Smith Street are the main corridors. Serenity Movers files DOT permits and coordinates with building management on loading access.

CREW TIPS FOR GOWANUS MOVES:
Gowanus industrial loft buildings sometimes have designated loading hours tied to former commercial tenants – confirm with your building super whether there are any time restrictions on freight access. Serenity Movers handles this research during the booking process.
