  • Disassembly and reassembly: Bed frames, desks, dining tables, wardrobe systems, and similar furniture are taken apart before the move and put back together in your new home.
  • All equipment: Dollies, furniture sliders, floor runners, door jamb protectors, and all carrying equipment are included.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about residential moving in NYC

How the Serenity Movers flat-rate process works?
Step 1 — Video walkthrough: You do a free AI-assisted video walkthrough of your home. Takes about 10 minutes. We see every room, every large piece, and any access challenges. Step 2 — Locked-in quote: Within 1 hour we send a flat-rate price that covers everything. This price does not change on move day. Step 3 — COI and building coordination: We submit your COI to building management for their approval. Step 4 — Move day: The crew arrives on time, wraps everything, carries it out, transports it, and sets it up in your new home. You walk into a placed, assembled space. Step 5 — Payment on completion:. You pay only when the move is done and you're satisfied.
What affects the cost of a residential move in NYC?
Home size and volume: The number of rooms and the density of belongings is the primary driver of crew size and time. Building access: Walk-up and Long Carry may affect logistics but are always disclosed in your quote. Distance: Local moves (within NYC boroughs) are priced differently from mid-distance (Westchester, Long Island) and interstate (NJ, PA, CT) moves. Specialty items: Pianos, safes, large art, and fragile antiques are quoted separately. See our Delicate Items service. Add-on services: Packing, unpacking, furniture disposal, and wall installations can be added to any residential move.
How far in advance should I book residential movers in NYC?
For peak season (May–September): 3–4 weeks ahead. For off-peak (October–April): 1–2 weeks is usually sufficient. For co-op purchases, book as soon as board approval is confirmed. End-of-month dates and Saturdays fill fastest year-round.
Do I need to be present on moving day?
We recommend being present at both ends — at your origin to direct the crew on priorities, and at your destination to confirm furniture placement. If you cannot be at both, a trusted representative works. Your dedicated coordinator is reachable by phone throughout the day.
What should I do to prepare before the movers arrive?
The most helpful things to do before move day: Empty and defrost the refrigerator 24 hours ahead Disassemble any IKEA or flatpack furniture you want to carry rather than have us disassemble Pack personal items (medications, valuables, documents) that you want to carry yourself Clear a path from each room to the front door Label boxes with destination room if you've packed yourself We handle all wrapping, disassembly, and carrying — you don't need to prep furniture or move anything yourself.
Do you move items in storage units or only from apartments?
We move from any origin — apartments, houses, storage units, co-ops, and commercial spaces. If your belongings are split between an apartment and a storage unit, we can combine both into a single move. Mention the storage unit location when booking so we can route the day efficiently.
What is your cancellation policy for residential moves?
Cancellations 72+ hours before move day: Full deposit refund Reschedules: Free with 48 hours notice, subject to availability Call (877) 887-1818 or email customerservice@serenitymovers.com.
