Gentle Giant Moving Company for moving-related storage

Gentle Giant Movers proved to me “you get what you pay for”. Simply the best experience I’ve had in moving perhaps 10-12 times the past 30 years. From the guys helping the day before the move with pre-pack and wrap to the next day of move to new place they were top notch. The company started decades ago by Larry…
I recently used Gentle Giant Moving Company and they were responsive and transparent about everything associated with the move (pricing and scheduling). The moving crew, led by Alex Reyes, was incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient. During the two day move, Alex and his crew carefully handled antiques,…
Gentle Giant was amazing! They helped make sure I was out of my apartment by the deadline and made sure all my belongings were protected and got to my new place. Communication was great, very friendly, and super efficient!
This is the second time that I used Gentle Giant/Allston Piano for a piano move and would highly recommend them. This was a complex move of a grand piano which was delivered by another mover from out of state and that required craning the piano through a tight second story window. They sent teams to the house…
Absolutely super guys, everything was perfect! Such a contrast to other movers we’ve used…will stick with these guys from now on!
I was coordinating a mover for a friend when the closing date changed and the apartment complex had already rented the apartment. Moving in Boston during June is a nightmare. Unexpectedly moving in Boston during the last week of June is near impossible. Gentle Giants team worked to adjust scheduling and gather a…
The Gentle Giant team did a superb job, arriving on time with a supervisor and two associates. They worked quickly, efficiently and carefully and each knew their job well. They also had good esprit de corps, and the supervisor was excellent, very good client hands. I would recommend them to anyone doing a move in the greater Boston area.
Incredible team!! I hope to have the same stellar crew again. They were fantastic.
Huge shoutout to the incredible team at Gentle Giant that handled our move — absolutely top notch from start to finish. Alex Reyes and Lukas Sutkus led the operation with professionalism, calmness, and unbelievable attention to detail. The entire crew — Ricardas Padimanskas, Robert Chase, Andrei Grigored Duke…
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 is THE BEST moving company by far. I've used them twice, once for a local move, and the recent second time for an interstate move and both went incredibly smoothly. The team is very professional, personable, focused on what they do, work incredibly hard, are very courteous, go above and beyond to…
Our two crews (packing and moving) were helpful, polite, respectful, careful, and extremely competent. They asked questions, listened, and came back and asked again when something didn't make sense to them in the moment. They noticed I was on the phone at one point and apologized for trying to ask a question (even…
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.
Scott and Matt were phenomenal. This is the 3rd time I have used Gentle Giant, and they continue to impress. Scott and Matt emptied a large storage unit with heavy garage equipment and tools in record time. They even graciously helped load a couple of large juniper trees into the back of a friend's pickup truck at…
I needed help with a local move and they were an awesome crew! Professional and efficient. Thanks Matt, Graham and Aidan & Ion, Peter and Jaeden.
Florin and Alex were both great! Professional and timely. Very efficient and did a great job making sure everything was packed safely and properly for a long distance move. They took care of it all and reasonably priced for all the supplies and labor. I would 100% recommend gentle giants for any moving services!
Careless and do not take responsibility for their mistakes. Definitely not use GG storage. I did when living abroad for several years, and had to throw away numerous treasured mementos, valuable clothing and other items due to widespread black mould. Over priced, over rated, and terrible to deal with. Avoid.
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 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…
