Can a move be less stressful? Maxwell works to do just that. His guys are sweethearts and before you know, you are moved and really at the ease. I can't think of anything that went wrong, despite my worries. I b recommend them for any move imagined. read more

Serenity Movers and Max are awesome. A little over a month ago, I reached out to them for a quote. Max responded and asked for a detailed inventory (with pics of items), and approximate date of move. In no time I had a reasonable quote and within a week, I finalized the move. Tim and his crew got to my apartment just a tad late (traffic, previous job), but they were fast, efficient and got me out of the Bronx and into my new apartment in New Rochelle in the allotted time frame. No tacked on fees, no drama, no missing and broken items. I highly recommend Serenity Movers. read more

Amazing moving company! We had our belongings delivered by them during our move from CA to NY via their sister company CA NY Express Movers. They were so quick and professional that the building staff asked who the company was so they could refer them to future tenants. read more

Maxwell mobilized a great team who were efficient, careful and super courteous. We've used Serenity twice now and we're happy each time!

Very disorganized. They put packing tape on my wooden dining table, which I cannot remove because of the adhesive. Dissatisfied with the service. Would not recommend. read more

Serenity Movers - Packing tape that I cannot remove from my wooden dining table. - Movers Near Me - The Bronx, New York

I can't imagine a better moving company. Last week was out third move with Serenity, and from my first call with Maxwell I felt I was in good hands. He was professional and thoughtful at the same time, making sure with follow up calls that our moves went well. The actual moving men were above and beyond experts. They were cheerful, efficient and helpful during all aspects of the actual move. I highly recommend Serenity Movers. read more

I can't tell you how amazed I was by the professionalism and care this team has. I was pleased from the first time I spoke to Maxwell. He made me feel comfortable right away and felt like I knew him all my life. He answered all my questions and concerns and his team went above and beyond. They made sure the Job got done and we're so amazing. Don't look any further. This moving company is truly amazing from start to finish. Thank you so much Maxwell, you are heaven sent. read more

I LOVE MOVING says no one ever! I will say when you hire the right moving company it does make things a little more tolerable. My real estate agent recommended serenity movers to me saying they were great and familiar with doing moves into the building of our new address. I spoke to Maxwell who answers the phones and coordinates the moving date time and coi. He was professional and very helpful. I sent him a quick video of my apt so I could get a quote and have boxes dropped off to my apt as we chose the "pack your own stuff" option. They do still dismantle your actual furniture and wrap it nicely as to not do any damage while moving. Pack your own stuff is the clothes shoes dishes kind of stuff. The moving team showed up on time and finished two hours early of our estimated moving time. I almost didn't even feel the burden of moving bc they were so efficient in how they packed moved and unloaded. They were super clean, organized and wore masks for the covid regulations. Not one piece had a scratch or dent. Let me also add that I had mattress and a table/chair delivery from two additional companies and everything worked out well beyond my expectations. I'm moved a few times in my life and I can really say serenity movers is the best nyc moving company in NYC so definitely feel really comfortable hiring them. Mowaly, Harry, Jose and Alvaro are the names of my moving squad so request them. read more

Serenity Movers - Unpacked! - Movers Near Me - The Bronx, New York

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! read more

Serenity Movers, and especially Maxwell who organized our move, are FANTASTIC. Our moving and packing needs were so irregular - 2 out of 3 roommates moving from an apartment, 2 out of 3 painters moving from a shared studio, weird art supplies that needed to be specially boxed... Maxwell took it all in stride and was totally response and kind throughout. The company is also super honest and wound up charging us less than they'd quoted us when things went more easily than anticipated. Highly recommend! read more

The worse experience ever. I have used Serenity Movers and they were fine. I used them again in July and they sucked in every way possible. They almost broke the glass top of my dining table. Thank god I was nearby and caught it. They put tape around my furniture that left marks. They scratched my very beautiful dining room table. They broke a dresser and also broke a smaller dresser. The damage they caused is irreparable. This Has been a heartbreaking experience. You pay for the service and expect them to be careful but they were terrible. DO NOT USE THEM! Just awful! read more

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! read more

These guys are WONDERFUL, I cannot recommend their moving services enough. I was moving from Manhattan (2 floor walk up!!!) to Brooklyn and on the day of the move they were right on time, made sure I had everything nicely packed and worked FAST!! They really know their job, were super careful (and reassuring, which I appreciated) with my things, and did everything with care and dedication. Once in Brooklyn, they made sure to put everything where I requested and even helped me decide a couple of times! They made my move truly SERENE and I am forever grateful to them for it :) read more

Serenity Movers - Movers Near Me - The Bronx, New York

See all

This is going to be a boring review of this new, green NYC moving company. Almost as boring as waiting for the hours-late truck to show up, sitting alone on a bare mattress with any shred of possible entertainment packed away in a pile of crates. Overall, Serenity was fine. Their quote was slightly lower than the other companies I called, but not enough to get terribly excited. My main motivation for using them was their crate-renting service. For a reasonable fee, they deliver you heavy-duty plastic packing crates the week before you move and pick them up when you're done unpacking. However, these particular crates were much smaller than others I've seen of that type, and I filled a lot more of them than I expected. "Fortunately," Serenity didn't show up the day the boxes were to be dropped off; the next day they gave me five extra ones free, and I wound up with the right amount of boxes. I had trouble getting through to them on the phone that one day, but other than that the customer service was commendable. As I mentioned earlier, they were late on moving day, when I just wanted to get the heck out of my old apartment and neighborhood. Irritation ensued. When they did arrive, I was happy to learn that biodiesel vehicles really do smell like french fries! (Did I mention I was starving, as well as bored and lonely?) The movers were pleasant, and began hauling the crap out of my apartment at breakneck speed. That is, until getting in a nasty, name-calling, cussing fight with my old superintendent, but in defense of Serenity, I'm pretty sure the super picked it. (I was facebook-status-updating the entire episode, and this and my frustration with their lateness prompted many SERENITY NOW! jokes from friends...) They told him to bugger off, finished up, and I got in a cab bound for my new awesome apartment. Traffic was terrible and it was getting late, but the trio of moving dudes was still very polite and cheery enough when we all arrived. Only one inconsequential item was broken, and care was taken with my stuff. Would I hire Serenity again? I suppose; I paid slightly less and got to feel good about making a green move. But gawd, I hope I never move again. read more

I started out my journey with Serenity really enthusiastically, as they were highly recommended by people other yelpers. I was impressed by the courtesy and professionalism of the receptionist. I called on Friday asking for a Monday appointnment, and she accommodated me. But things went downhill form there. My mother called me on Monday morning, frantic because one of the movers, the foreman I think, was bitterly complaining about the conditions. He was upset because there was dust and he felt he was not adequately prepared to be in the environment. He proceeded to disparage his boss, saying that the owners didn't care about him or his health. He immediately told my mother that the move would require more than three hours and movers, and that he was not going to be able to complete it. He continued to complain and have an attitude for the rest of the move. At one point he was in his truck while the other two movers were unloading, and when my mother approached him, he responded that he would not charge her for the full hour. I am not disappointed that the man took issue with the conditions, but rather his handling of the situation. Had I known there would be that amount of dust and mold, I would have notified the dispatcher. Instead of incessantly complaining and giving my mother an attitude, he could have explained that the conditions necessitated special protective equipment and more men, and therefore they would have to reschedule. He could have handled it professionally, not like an insolent 5 year old. My mother offered him a mask and gloves, yet he continued to whine. I even called the dispatcher and apologized for not having properly prepared him, and he said that his men were prepared for "anything." Clearly, they were not. I emailed the receptionist, and she responded by politely brushing me off and never fully addressed my concerns. While the physical move went fine, the added stress of the complaining employee left my mother harried and stressed out. The did not complete the move, and we hired another company to come back later in the week. i will never use them again. read more

We give Serenity movers our 5 stars. I have used several moving companies over the past 5 years and never have I given any of them higher than a 2. My experience has been is that most moving companies never do what they promise and always complain when they arrive and change pricing on you as soon as they arrive. Not with Serenity movers! They did what they promised as promised. I called Serenity Movers first to simply have them move my boyfriends furniture from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. They did this perfectly and the service was great. From the first call with Max, I knew that I picked the right crew. My boyfriend was also very happy with the movers that handled everything. 2 weeks later we decided to check out a high-end furniture auction in Maryland, with no real intent to buy more than a few pieces. After about 8 hours, my boyfriend had purchased 2 truckloads of beautiful furniture that somehow needed to get shipped and unloaded all the way back to Long Island, NY. I frantically emailed Max late on Saturday night and he called me back within 10 minutes of my email (I dont know about you but i have never had someone from a moving company return my calls after hours). Max said he would work hard to try and get us a crew for Monday. Given this was such short notice and was going to take at least a 4 man crew for 8 hours, I wasn't sure if Max was going to be able to pull through, but he did. He set up a 4 man crew to arrive on Monday afternoon. They did so as promised. They were very professional and courteous. They worked very hard to get the job done by a certain hour, since our building wanted the truck unloaded by a certain time. Our furniture was brand new, so we were a bit nervous about movers damaging the furniture. With Serenity Movers, we didn't have to worry about that; they did a great job protecting it so that it was not damaged in any way. We have already recommended serenity movers to several friends who will be moving in a few months. Sincerely, Leila read more

It was the best nyc moving experience I have ever had...the men were professional and went above and beyond to help me with last minute packing. The lead guy was really nice and took apart and put my bed back together which was no easy task. I highly recommend Serenity Movers and will definitely call them again when I move again. Someone at my company recommended them and I plan on adding my thumbs up internally to it. One of the best NYC moving companies! **Plus love that they are eco friendly. read more

I should admit upfront that I did not end up choosing Serenity for my move (I will explain below). However, the experience with them was so positive & helpful that I wanted to share it. Serenity was one of the few movers I contacted that requested an in-home estimate. If you're moving soon & annoyed by this, don't be! It shows the company understands each move is different, and wants to avoid surprises for both you & themselves on moving day. This initial time investment will pay off, it sure did for me. Their rep was able to identify critical issues with getting some of my furniture out my narrow door that previous moving companies assessors did not. He correctly noticed that my wardrobes must be disassembled and reassembled, which is a ton of work for the moving crew, and gave an accurate quote. When I alerted the previous company about this potential complication & extra work, they decided to honor their original quote (assuming all furniture can be moved as-is) even if the complications happens. That was obviously significantly cheaper, so I went with that. On moving day, lo & behold, the Serenity Mover rep was 100% right! Our movers ended up having to disassemble two huge wardrobes, and other bookshelves to make it fit out the door. Basically, by having my consult with Serenity I was able to get a more accurate assessment of my moving needs. I credit them for saving me a ton of headache (& money) on moving day because I was able to get ahead of these issues that another company had failed to identify. I believe the quote given to me by Serenity was totally fair and I would've chosen them hands-down if the other company had not honored their price for a much smaller/less complicated move. This is an extremely professional company & I thank them! read more

First off, Maxwell might have the calmest voice ever. He might have missed his calling as a disc jockey. Anyway, I had a big move planned from Queens to LI. There was an additional stop before reaching our destination in LI. It was a four-man crew. Only one of the movers was a tad unprofessional, but the guy in charge, Chanel (sp?), called him out on it twice. They arrived on time. Chanel checked in with me about what was needed and they quickly got to work. They quickly emptied the first house of all the furniture. Everything was wrapped and secured. It was a long drive to LI, but they got there quicker than I expected. They were very patient with my wife and I when it came to adding felt bottoms to each of the furniture they brought in to the new house (we just had the floors redone). There were two separate blemishes as a result of this move. It's nothing catastrophic (nothing was broken), but these are noticeable and it's worth mentioning. In their defense, the two pieces of furniture were extremely heavy. The total time and cost came under the quoted price/time. I would highly recommend Serenity Movers to any of my friends or family. read more

I recently had Serenity movers move me from a 4th floor walk-up in the East Village to an elevator building in the LES. Not only were they punctual--they were a few minutes early. I was still in the midst of packing a few of my belongings but not only did they give me more boxes but they carefully took my belongings, quickly finished packing them for me, secured them and took them away. They seamlessly moved my belongings out of my former residence (despite the narrow stairwell) and into my new residence efficiently and politely. I would like to emphasize their politeness because it can be somewhat rare in the service-related industry of NYC especially when moving can be highly traumatic for the person moving. Finally, it was service with smile the whole way which is another pleasant surprise. Nothing was broken or lost. I highly recommend Serenity Movers and will certainly use them again for future moves. read more

Serenity was recommended by a friend who had a positive experience so I was eager to have them handle my move of exactly one avenue. Max and Roni were so wonderful over the phone and I was certain I had made a good decision. However, when the three movers showed up I had a very different experience. First, the driver locked the keys in the car and he had to wait outside for 2 different locksmiths to come. As the remaining two guys started moving some of our more delicate items like lamps, pictures and an expensive wooden bar, it was clear they didnt care about what happened to our possessions. A glass lampshade fell onto the street as it wasn't wrapped. A table lamp was punctured because it was simply thrown in a bin with other items. The bar was badly scratched- an $750, 50lb piece of furniture which was in mint condition. Boxes marked glass, do not stack were crushed and several glasses and corningware plates were cracked in pieces. When I called to report my experience, I was unfortunately only compensated for the weight of the items ruined, which is only a small fraction of the actual value. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed and had to spend a good amount of money to replace those items which broke. read more

I must say that Serenity Movers was a pleasure to do business with. They arrived early, hauled furniture down from the 5th floor of a walk-up building and made it look easy. They were very careful not to damage the furniture or the walls. Took apart and put together the pieces that they had to. Nellie(the crew boss) was awesome. The bill was less that estimated. What could be better? I will always recommend Serenity Movers to my friends and family. read more

Serenity really was as good as it gets. I'd written a review for them previously, but it seems to have disappeared down the yelp rabbit hole. Anyway, I haven't been on Yelp in awhile, but I did find Serenity through yelp, and I wanted to add my thoughts here. Max was lovely to work with and our foreman, Teddy, could not have been more professional, speedy, organized and efficient. Even though we had about twice as much stuff as they thought (our miscalculation, not theirs) the move only took 30 minutes longer than we anticipated. Getting professional movers is really the only way to stay sane during such a stressful time. A really can't recommend these guys enough. A word of advice -- whoever you end up using -- the more prepared and packed up you are in advance, the better the entire process will go! read more

I used serenity again as they offered a good discount to have a second attempt at moving me (to make up for the first, bad experience). Much better this time around. The telephone staff were very helpful, and the move itself was very smooth. We made a good effort to make things easier for the movers, it paid off. The move was done 2hrs under schedule. The lead mover had a phenomenal work ethic, and a mild manner. It felt like he carried the other movers, but on aggregate I would say good value for money. I think I got unlucky first time around. Well done for redeeming your good name, thanks again for the move. read more

So I had some challenges moving from Brooklyn to Queens but the customer services at Serenity made up for those challenges in spades! A representative touched base with me after the move to find out any challenges I had and debrief after the move. I've used Serenity twice before and I definitely appreciate touching base with their representative afterwards. All in all, moving is an extremely stressful experience no matter how you look at it. It's nice to find a company that cares about their customer's experience read more

I can honestly say that I have zero complaints about my move with Serenity Movers. I had a morning appointment and not only where they on time, they were early. It took them an hour over what was estimated, but this was mainly due to the fact that my roommate and I were not fully packed (we had a lot of small boxes and soft bags that needed to be combined) and the guys spent extra time putting things in boxes. Most importantly, we had a lot of breakable items and delicate furniture and the team wrapped everything and moved it with diligence and ease. Max, the person who I booked through, was very attentive. He called to confirm the move the night before and followed up afterwards to see how it went. Would definitely recommend! read more

We moved on a busy holiday weekend this fall, and were very pleased with Serenity movers from start to finish. They were recommended by a co-worker of mine, who had used them previously. From set up and confirmation with Max, to the actual move, to follow up - I was just impressed all around. Good movers in New York are hard to find, and I've been burned by a moving company that never showed, so I was very pleased to have the easy (and relatively cheap, compared to flatrate movers or similar companies) experience this time! read more

I would definitely recommend Serenity Movers. When I first contacted them, they were very responsive and helpful, and they sent a quote immediately. The pricing was as good as the other companies I researched, and Serenity provided more movers for the same price. They also arrived right at the time we scheduled so I wasn't waiting, and they were finished packing everything and unpacking everything within 2 hours. I know they have reusable boxes for rental as well, but by the time I booked them, they had run out. This was the only inconvenience. Otherwise, these guys are great! read more

I have used Serenity Movers MANY times for moving both my homes & offices. They have always have been FANTASTIC! I highly recommend them! Gary Lacinski-NYC read more

Simply great, and worth every penny. They gave me a reasonable quote and stuck to it. The movers were super professional and did a great job wrapping my furniture as well as moving everything very carefully and efficiently. I've used Serenity twice, and would use them again. read more

I got a recommendation for Serenity from a friend and called for a quote. I was very pleased with the competitive rate as it was much lower than other companies and I got rave reviews from my friend. We LOVED Maxwell, the point person, who we dealt with to negotiate time/rates, etc. He was SO wonderful! Our team was on time, very efficient, kind and took good care of our stuff. I highly recommend this company! read more

Was wonderful! Max called me as soon as I filled out the inquiry form online. He was so helpful and easy to work with and got me by far the best quote in NYC/NJ area for moving a 1 bedroom apartment. Prior to moving he was extremely responsive to any emails or questions I had. Movers arrived on time, were extremely safe (amid COVID) and fast, finished before estimated time. Very happy with entire experience! read more

Working with Maxwell was easy. Our move was in the middle of the COVID pandemic and many uncertainties about the move were unresolved until the last minute, but Maxwell and his team were able to accommodate us in every way we needed. The movers who arrived were pleasant, professional, and clearly worked hard. Our belongs were delivered safe and sound to our new home. I highly recommend Serenity Movers and would use them again if the need arises! read more

Serenity Movers is a great moving company. My movers fell through the day before I was set to move - I called Maxwell and he was able to schedule me for the next morning. The three movers were on time, very quick and professional. We had everything packed and ready to go, so they just had to wrap the furniture and load the van, which they did very quickly. We didn't know that the destination had steps going down to the service elevator, but the movers had no issue handling that, and were still quick in bringing everything up. They had to disassemble and reassemble my bed and table, which they did with no problem. The price was a higher than I expected, but given that they were so accommodating of the last minute scheduling, and were so efficient and professional, I was willing to pay it. Overall, strongly recommend! read more

We hired Serenity Movers twice and I highly recommend them. Their prices are competitive and their service is fantastic. They were very professional, arrived on time, and provided very efficient service. Avi and his team were awesome. read more

My mom passed away in January of this year. All I have left of her apart from the memories are her things. I needed to make sure that all her belongings were packed up and transported with care to a secure place until I could figure out what to do with them. I asked friends and family for recommendations on moving companies then I started researching them through Yelp. What got my attention was another review for Serenity movers where they helped another person with their loved ones belongings. I read the other great reviews and gave them a call. To coin a phrase.....Maxwell had me at "Hello" the man has a voice of silk and was gracious, kind and patient with all of my mumbling and scattered thoughts. I explained about my mother's belongings being in Manhattan and me living in Upstate NY and wanting to bring the items to a storage area near my home. He simply said "Yes we will take care of it for you", and I believed him. They did cost more than some of the other places that quoted me, but when I got off of the phone with Maxwell I wasn't left with the feeling that this moving company would just throw my mom's stuff in the back of a truck and screech off hitting the brakes hard at every red stop light. The movers were Teddy, Ricky and Jason and they took time and care to wrap, take apart, and boxed whatever needed to be protected. Teddy stayed in contact with me during the drive upstate and I knew where they were down to them driving up to the meeting spot. They had everything off the truck and tucked away in the storage unit before I could even finish the payment process. Thank you Maxwell, Thank you Teddy, Ricky and Jason for making this the best moving experience ever. If I ever need movers again I know I'll be calling Serenity Movers. read more

From the moment I first called I knew I was in good hands as Maxwell was so friendly and helpful. After filling out some quick online info, Noel came out a few days later and did a quick walk through estimate for us. We ended up hiring Serenity to do our move last week and were so pleased. The packing and moving crew were quick, pleasant, and helpful, especially Tony the foreman. What a great bunch of guys. We would definitely recommend Serenity! read more

I used Serenity Movers last week when moving from Brooklyn to manhattan. I was absolutely thrilled with the service I received. Max was so great to explain all the costs to me and answer my many questions. Molly was also really helpful in getting the certificate of insurance to my new landlord. On the day of the move, the movers called me to let me know they would be 10 minutes late. Upon arrival they got to work immediately and it took them no time at all to load my items. They did a great job of packing two delicate lamps I had. When I moved into my building the next day, they showed up exactly at 9 and quickly unloaded, asking me where I needed my boxes/furniture in different rooms throughout the apartment. Overall there was not one thing to complain about and I plan on using Serenity again for my next moves!! Highly recommended. read more

Moving is a very stressful experience but these guys made it so simple & easy. The movers were quick, efficient, and professional. Nothing was broken or damaged. They took great care of our belongings. They finished ahead of schedule and the price was a little less than what I was originally quoted. Maxwell was great too--he answered all my questions and was very prompt and responsive with a last minute issue that came up with the move. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of our move. read more

This was the move from hell! Serenity movers did not unpack us as contracted to do; they left cartons and the goods they had unwrapped scattered indiscriminately all over the apartment; they damaged furniture, destroyed very expensive lampshade, broke silver coffee server, and much more. They were rude, aggressive and hostile. We have moved before. Moving is always difficult. But this was worse than even imaginable. I believe Serenity Movers should have their license revoked. read more
