Adam and his team were incredible. They were on time, organized, friendly, super helpful, and all around a true pleasure to work with. In addition to being efficient and genuinely eager to help, they were all really nice and a pleasure to work with. This team is why it’s worth hiring Gentle Giant - they really go…
Moved from one storage facility to another out-of-state.
exceptional experience...all went very smoothly
Steven (Rudy) Leonard and Gerard Johnston did a fantastic job hoisting our grand piano out of a narrow second-floor window (part of the frame had to be removed) and over electric wires. It was clear from the start that they have decades of experience doing this -- precision work with an old-school human touch.
Yet another problem-free move with Gentle Giants! They always take care with my belongings and their movers are uniformly friendly and professional. I recommend them to all my friends.
Gentle Giant was fantastic and very efficient! Erikas and Gražvydas (our movers) were also super friendly and helpful and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
We (GS Builders Inc) hired gentle giants to hoist a 9’ countertop into the 2nd floor from Street level. Every interaction went smooth, from the initial phone call to the hoisting was a breeze, fair price, and great firm to work with. I have to especially mention their crane operator, he came, set up and within 20…
Alin at Gentle Giant did a fabulous job leading my local move. Some of the items were fragile and multiple held sentimental value. The goods were all handled carefully, packed well, and re-placed in my city home (narrow doorways and stairs) with no issue. Absolutely worth the price for their work.
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 awesome to deal with from start to finish. I needed to keep rescheduling the booking date due to complicated issues on my end. They were absolutely lovely and never made me feel that I was a pain the neck (which I was)! The movers arrived exactly on time, they were efficient, careful, and overall…
This is my third time using Gentle Giant. Each time was great. This time, I had the pleasure of working with Eddie and Lucas. They were very detailed and caring about my situation and my home. If you want your items and home to be treated with amazing care, use Gentle Giant. You have to pay for quality and that’s…
Again The GG does not disappoint in fact they “exceed expectations” and are a cut above the rest. not only do they pack move and unload professionally, but they are polite, proactive, thorough and work extremely hard. Erikas, Mantas, Shawn were exceptional. Took every direction without a blink of an eye. Asked…
Thank you for the excellent service! Your entire team—from scheduling and dispatch to the on-site crew—was highly professional, skilled, and clearly took great pride in their work. They carefully handled the difficult task of moving an oversized chair into a small space and cleared away all packing materials before…
Gerry and Rooty came out to crane a piano out of an attic apartment in Cambridge for my stepdad, recently, and the experience was above all expectations! Mt stepdad was very anxious surrounding the whole endeavor, but Rooty put his worries to rest right away, while Gerry made short work of the piano on the third…
I genuinely don’t know how to write a review that adequately captures just how incredible our Gentle Giant team was, because saying they were “five star” doesn’t even begin to cut it. **They were absolute ALL-STARS.** We hired Gentle Giant for both packing and moving, and ours was not a straightforward move. We…
Kind, highly customer service-oriented, professional and highly competent are terms that summarize Horraine McPherson’s crew (Nelu Coroian, Kevon Forsythe, Edvinus Barkus, Robert Chase and Catalin Bivol) Who packed And moved us from Cambridge MA to Cape Cod MA. The crew was clearly well-trained and well-intended.…
The guys who moved me were all great: Orion, Elijah and Clyde. They worked hard. They were friendly. They stayed on task through a long day. I was impressed. Nothing was broken.
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…
The guys were so efficient and respectful of the home! Everything worked and fit beautifully!!! Would highly recommend this team!!!
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…
