Reviews
What Our Customers Say About Moving With Sarmiento Moving
Families, renters, and local businesses across Queens count on us for organized moves, honest pricing, and crews that treat every job with care.
M
We moved from East Elmhurst to an apartment in Jackson Heights and the team handled everything smoothly. They coordinated with our building super, reserved the elevator, and had us fully loaded and out within the window we were given. Fantastic service.
D
Moving out of a co-op in Flushing came with strict building rules and a tight loading dock schedule. The crew knew exactly how to work within those constraints and didn't waste a minute. I was genuinely impressed by how organized they were.
J
Relocating from Corona to Forest Hills with a full apartment's worth of furniture felt overwhelming at first. The movers were calm, professional, and finished well ahead of the time estimate. I'd recommend them to anyone in Queens without hesitation.
C
The crew handled our narrow Woodside staircase without complaint, protected the walls throughout, and placed everything where we asked at the new place. Solid, dependable service from start to finish.
Y
We had a last-minute move because of a lease change and Sarmiento Moving came through on very short notice. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and were still careful with our fragile items despite the time pressure. Really appreciated that.
P
The packing service was worth every penny. Our kitchen, artwork, and electronics were wrapped with real care and everything arrived at our Astoria apartment in perfect condition — not a single broken item.
M
I've used other movers in Queens before and this was by far the most professional experience. The quote was fair and accurate, the crew communicated clearly, and nothing was damaged. Simple and well-run.
E
Moving from Long Island City to a house in Bayside with three kids and a full home's worth of belongings seemed like a nightmare. The team made it manageable — they worked quickly but carefully, and the kids' rooms were set up the same evening.
A
The team moved a baby grand piano from our apartment near LaGuardia to our new place in Howard Beach. The staircase and tight hallway didn't slow them down at all — they handled it like they'd done it a hundred times before.
S
From the first phone call to the last box, everything was handled professionally. The estimate was clear, the crew arrived on time, and they were friendly and efficient throughout. One of the easiest moving experiences I've had in New York.
J
We relocated a full home office setup from our Maspeth apartment to a commercial suite in Manhattan. Every monitor, cabinet, and piece of equipment arrived without damage and was placed exactly where we needed it.
N
Our original movers cancelled the day before. Sarmiento Moving arranged a crew for the next morning, showed up prepared, and handled our Sunnyside apartment move without any drama. They genuinely saved the day.

FAQ
Common Questions About Moving in East Elmhurst
Honest answers to what our Queens customers ask most — before, during, and after their move.
How far ahead should I book my move in East Elmhurst?
For most moves in the East Elmhurst and Queens area, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. Summer months and September — when NYC leases typically turn over — fill up quickly. If you're working with a tight timeline, call us directly. We often have next-day and same-day availability.
Does my building require a Certificate of Insurance?
Many co-ops, condos, and managed rental buildings throughout Queens and New York City require a COI before movers are permitted on the premises. We issue this document at no additional charge — just share your building's requirements when you schedule and we'll handle it.
Can you coordinate the elevator reservation at my building?
Yes. We're familiar with the elevator booking process common in Queens apartment buildings. We recommend confirming the reservation window directly with your building management, and we'll schedule our crew to arrive within that time frame.
How do you handle truck parking in East Elmhurst?
Street parking in New York City requires planning. Depending on your block, you may need a temporary No-Parking permit from the NYC Department of Transportation. We'll walk you through what's typically needed based on your address and help you arrange it before moving day.
What does the hourly rate include?
Every booking covers a fully equipped truck, moving blankets, shrink wrap, tape, basic furniture disassembly, and reassembly at the destination. There are no fuel surcharges or hidden add-ons — the price we quote is what you pay.
Do you offer packing services?
Yes. We provide full and partial packing for any type of move. Our team is trained to pack fragile items, electronics, artwork, kitchen goods, and specialty pieces securely. Additional packing materials beyond what's included are available at reasonable rates.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Standard liability coverage is included with every move. If you have antiques, fine art, or high-value items, ask about enhanced protection when you book — we'll explain the available options so you can choose the right level of coverage.
Do you move during winter months in New York?
We operate year-round regardless of weather. Our crews are experienced with cold-weather conditions and take extra precautions to protect floors, doorways, and items from temperature changes. Morning start times are recommended in winter to make the most of daylight hours.
Can you handle long-distance moves out of New York?
Yes. Our long-distance service covers all 48 contiguous states. You'll receive a written quote based on weight and distance, a dedicated move coordinator, GPS-tracked transport, and a confirmed delivery window.
What items are you unable to transport?
We cannot move hazardous materials, flammable liquids, aerosols, perishable food, live animals, or firearms and ammunition. If you're unsure about a specific item, reach out before moving day and we'll let you know your options.
Do you have storage options if I need them?
Yes. We work with secure, climate-controlled storage facilities in the Queens and greater New York area. Short-term and long-term options are available, and we can transport your items directly to a storage unit if needed.
