Would recommend to anyone.Posted on Mario CostantiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best! The only company I will use and trust with my things.Posted on AndreeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best moving company in NYC! They moved my mother, who’s in her 70s, from Florida to NYC. She felt very comfortable with their team. Everything was smooth, and they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was packed properly. At the destination there was not even one damage. I really appreciate their commitment to provide the best services to their customers. I can not stress enough about their level of professionalism. Sales representatives are efficient and they emphasize with their customers. Definitely will reach out to them again!Posted on Robert NewmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company and the owner Peter is a great and professional person…. Highly recommend for moving services!Posted on Vincent ShafferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All I can say is that moving with Dream Moving was an absolute dream!! I have heard of so many moving companies who make your move a total nightmare, so I was not going into hiring movers with high hopes. After doing a lot of research and reading many reviews, I was still on the fence on who to hire. It came down to a friend of mine referring me to Dream Moving, so I decided to go with them. I was moving my wife and baby from our 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan to our new 2 story house in North Carolina. Dream Moving quoted me the lowest out of any other movers (extremely lower than any other company) and they did not raise the price on me in any way before or after the move was over. They arrived on time, moved me out of my apartment, then drove straight through that day/night and delivered my stuff 15 hours later! So many other moving companies would give me a window from anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks, but not Dream Moving! They were professional, courteous, efficient, fast, and reliable. I would really like to thank John, Cristian, and Washington for making everything go so smoothly. You guys were amazing!! John was the best supervisor you could ever work with and Cristian and Washington were the 2 who drove all the way to North Carolina and unloaded all our furniture. I would also like to thank George for putting the quote together and helping me get through the whole process of setting up my move. I will definitely be referring this moving company to everyone I know in the future!Posted on Nikki KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. best moving company in nycPosted on Savannah GrimmettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great service! They were extremely professional and took such great care of the furniture and big items. They also provided a COI promptly that met all my buildings requirements (both buildings).

Moving in Brooklyn is a building-by-building problem. Your brownstone in Park Slope has a front stoop that narrows to 32 inches at the bottom step and a parlor-floor stairwell that turns 90 degrees between the first and second floor. Your co-op board in Cobble Hill requires a Certificate of Insurance naming the managing agent as additional insured before anyone opens the freight elevator. Your new building in DUMBO has a resident services portal and a loading dock window that closes at 9 AM. The street outside your Carroll Gardens apartment needs a NYC DOT parking permit or the truck gets a ticket before the first box is carried down the stoop.
Dream Moving has handled all of these jobs. We cover every Brooklyn neighborhood from Greenpoint and Williamsburg in the north to Coney Island, Brighton Beach, and Marine Park in the south. We file COIs same-day. We book freight elevator windows and loading dock slots in advance. We manage NYC DOT parking permits before move day. Every job gets an all-inclusive hourly quote with no charges added at the door.

Brooklyn Building Types - What Each One Requires
Brownstones and Pre-War Row Houses
Brownstones from the 1870s through the 1920s define the visual identity of Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. The front stoop narrows the carry path before the movers reach the door. The parlor floor is one flight up from the garden entrance. Interior staircases are steep, narrow, and turn sharply – furniture that clears the apartment door does not always clear the landing. We send staircase-rated crews with disassembly equipment on every brownstone job and do not charge for flights.
Pre-War Walk-Up Apartment Buildings
Pre-war walk-up apartment buildings are dense across Bushwick, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Crown Heights, Sunset Park, Kensington, and Williamsburg. Four- to six-floor buildings without elevators are the standard. Stairwells vary from wide and manageable to narrow and requiring full disassembly of large furniture before any move up the stairs. We assess stairwell configuration at quote time and crew accordingly.
Post-War Co-op Towers and Elevator Buildings
Post-war co-op towers and elevator buildings are concentrated in Sheepshead Bay, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Ocean Parkway, Bensonhurst, Boro Park, and parts of Bay Ridge. Building management typically reserves a specific elevator for moves. We contact your building’s super or front desk to confirm the move window and elevator reservation before your crew is assigned. COI filing naming the managing agent as additional insured is handled same-day at no charge.
Luxury Condos and New Development
Luxury condo towers and new development buildings are concentrated in DUMBO, Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, Greenpoint waterfront, and Navy Yard adjacent areas. These buildings have dedicated loading docks, resident services portals, and freight elevator windows that are enforced strictly – typically before 9 AM or after 5 PM on weekdays. We contact the resident services coordinator, obtain the move protocol document, and arrive with all required paperwork on file.
Semi-Detached and Detached Homes
Semi-detached brick homes and detached houses define the residential character of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Marine Park, Canarsie, East New York, Flatlands, and Springfield Gardens (adjacent border area). Move access is typically through a front door and interior staircase. Driveway and front-walk carry distances vary by property. We size crews for the specific home layout and assess carry distance at quote time.
Waterfront and Peninsula Communities
Gerritsen Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Sea Gate (the private gated community at the western tip of Coney Island) each have vehicle access requirements that differ from standard Brooklyn moves. Gerritsen Beach is a peninsula accessible by one main road; large moving trucks must be sized appropriately for the approach. Sea Gate is a private gated community requiring advance coordination with the Sea Gate Association for vehicle access clearance. We handle both the access coordination and the truck sizing before the crew departs.
Brooklyn Parking and Truck Access
Brooklyn’s density and street grid create truck-access challenges that vary dramatically by neighborhood. Atlantic Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, and Fulton Street have commercial vehicle restrictions during business hours. Alternate-side parking applies across most residential blocks in Park Slope, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and DUMBO. Cobblestone blocks in Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and DUMBO require truck positioning that accounts for surface instability for loaded carts.
We manage NYC DOT parking permit applications for jobs where street parking is not reliably available. Permits are filed as soon as your address is confirmed. For buildings with dedicated loading zones or freight entrances on side streets, we coordinate the truck position with building management before move day. You do not manage this yourself.

Dream Moving specializes in tackling these challenges. Our professional team ensures your move is smooth and stress-free from start to finish. We provide services tailored to your needs, no matter the distance or complexity.

Central Brooklyn stretches from Prospect Park east to East Flatbush and Flatbush, and south toward Kensington and Ocean Parkway. The zone contains a dense mix of pre-war brownstones, Victorian-era row houses, post-war walk-ups, and some co-op elevator buildings. Flatbush Avenue is the primary commercial artery and has alternate-side parking restrictions on most adjacent residential streets. Prospect Park creates significant foot and vehicle traffic on weekend mornings that affects truck positioning on Prospect Park West and Flatbush Avenue approaches.

All I can say is that moving with Dream Moving was an absolute dream!! I have heard of so many moving companies who make your move a total nightmare, so I was not going into hiring movers with high hopes. After doing a lot of research and reading many reviews, I was still on the fence on who to hire. It came down to a friend of mine referring me to Dream Moving, so I decided to go with them. I was moving my wife and baby from our 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan to our new 2 story house in North Carolina. Dream Moving quoted me the lowest out of any other movers (extremely lower than any other company) and they did not raise the price on me in any way before or after the move was over. They arrived on time, moved me out of my apartment, then drove straight through that day/night and delivered my stuff 15 hours later! So many other moving companies would give me a window from anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks, but not Dream Moving! They were professional, courteous, efficient, fast, and reliable. I would really like to thank John, Cristian, and Washington for making everything go so smoothly. You guys were amazing!! John was the best supervisor you could ever work with and Cristian and Washington were the 2 who drove all the way to North Carolina and unloaded all our furniture. I would also like to thank George for putting the quote together and helping me get through the whole process of setting up my move. I will definitely be referring this moving company to everyone I know in the future!Posted on Nikki KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. best moving company in nycPosted on Savannah GrimmettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
