We had an amazing experience with Gentle Giant. Wilbis and his crew were exceptional! Highly recommend using them for local and long distance moves!!
A first-class experience from start to finish - an efficient, knowledgeable sales and moving coordination team, and an amazing moving crew, who were extremely professional, respectful and courteous, and went the extra mile.
On a hot summer day, Alin’s team worked so hard for our moving from MA to CT. It took three days. Alin led the team so well that everything was smooth. His motto is “Everything is possible.” Yes, he made everything possible! Our move involved lots of stairs and heavy book boxes. But no complaints from the team. Ian…
This was our third move with Gentle Giant—this time all the way across the country—and again they did not disappoint! What consistently astonishes me is how kind, professional and efficient (!) their crews are—I don’t know where they find them or how they’re trained. They waste absolutely no time, yet are super…
Fanntastic experience with packers and movers from start to finish from our one bedroom apartment. They were very efficient and gentle with our belongings.
Gentle Giant handled my long distance move with care and efficiency. Three different crews - packing, loading and delivery were outstanding in their work. Professional, personable and hard-working. I would recommend Gentle Giant to anyone who wants a worry-free experience.
Superb experience. The crew did an amazing job. The move was meticulously planned and the team was very friendly and courteous. The job was difficult but they accounted for every detail, and the outcome was outstanding. I am very grateful to ‘Gentle Giants’. Vonescu, Alex and Jack were amazing.Vasile, Tautvydas and…
The Gentle Giant moving team did a superb job moving the contents of our family home from MA to an island in Maine for which the logistics are particularly challenging. They did a superb job. Communication was excellent. Quality, speed, experience, strength and demeanor of all the packers and movers were really…
Your packing and loading team were exceptional. I would recommend to anyone. Hard working, friendly, and polite.
I first used Gentle Giant for a local move back in 2003 and was very impressed, so hiring them again this year for our move from the Boston, MA area to the Raleigh, NC area was a no-brainer. The entire team was friendly, polite, and professional. They treated our belongings as if they were their own, and everything…
The entire crew was outstanding. Super friendly, super communicative, and just totally professional. When my items arrived at the other end of the move, the team there was equally the same. My wife and I commented on how great everyone was and how Gentle Giant must be doing a great job on how they treat their people…
Gentle giant moved us out of our home in Seattle and stored all of our belongings for 3 years, and finally just moved our things to Texas. They are professional and do an impeccable job. You can really trust them to keep all of your belongings safe and to make your move as easy as can be.
We were very pleased with the group of guys that handled our move. The guys very carefully packed and wrapped our stuff one day and the next day they emptied our house in 1.5 hours and our storage unit in 2 hours. Our move is international which meant an extra level of packing.
Gentle Giant moved the entire contents of my 1800 sf home across the country. From the first communication inquiry to the last box placed at the new home and the walk through, they were professional, respectful, kind, careful and courteous. They worked seamlessly as a team, efficiently, and extremely careful with…
Once again, a successful move with Gentle Giant! I truly admire this company and their excellent moving teams and support staff. From the initial contact, every interaction is friendly, efficient and professional. Through several moves, not one item has ever been damaged and I know that my belongings will be…
Gentle Giants did a phenomenal job moving a heavy family heirloom bedroom set from Kentucky to Massachusetts. The coordinator was clear and made the planning stress-free. The movers carefully wrapped the furniture, moved it across many states, then were able to get it on the top floor of my split level home- no easy…
Gentle Giant handled our cross-country move, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The crews on both ends were efficient, professional, and clearly took pride in their work. Everyone we interacted with, from the estimator to the coordinator to the movers, was highly communicative and transparent throughout…
These guys were fantastic! Everything was packed very carefully and everything arrived safely to Colorado from Boston. Francisco and Vlad were kind, efficient, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Gentle Giant for all of your moving needs.
Gentle Giant (GG) was supremely professional!
Gentle Giant packed up my Boston life, moved me to Alexandria, and even handled a storage unit, all with incredible professionalism and good humor. They were friendly, careful, and made a stressful move feel less stressful. I love that they included photos of all the movers so I knew exactly who to expect. They…
