Carroll Gardens is famous for its deep front gardens and long stoops, brownstone blocks that give you extra steps before you even reach the parlor floor. Our crews plan the long carry from the sidewalk in, so your move off Court or Smith goes smooth.
The neighborhood’s signature is the deep front garden and the long stoop, which means a brownstone here has extra distance from the truck to the door before the parlor stairs even start. Add the co-op conversions and the tight tree-lined streets, and there is a lot to plan. Since 2013 we have moved these blocks for the families who fill them. The carroll gardens movers who get it right count the long stoop and the stairs upfront.
A crew sized to the brownstone, blankets in the price, and the long garden-to-door carry planned. Parlor-floor pieces get planned for the staircase, and the big stuff gets disassembled rather than forced around a banister.
We plan the long stoop and the parking first, because the deep gardens add steps and the streets are tight. Four steps, no drama on the landing.
The deep front gardens are lovely and they add real distance to every carry. A crew that does not plan for the long stoop plus the parlor stairs underestimates the job and runs late.
Our movers are in-house W-2 staff who carry Carroll Gardens brownstones constantly, so the deep garden stoops and the parlor turns are familiar ground. We count the long carry and the flights, protect the original floors, and plan the truck on a tight tree-lined street. Since 2013 that planning keeps our Carroll Gardens moves on schedule instead of caught out by the extra steps.
