Moved from one storage facility to another out-of-state.
The team of three young gentlemen was most impressive from start to finish! They were polite & personable, taking genuine interest in my setup. Every task was cheerfully done with excellence, and I couldn’t be more pleased. This is the third time that Gentle Giant has done a move for me, and I highly recommend this exemplary company!
Erik, Finn, and Andrew, make Gentle Giant what it is. They went above and beyond to make my move happen. The city of Cambridge forgot to post the parking permits. They parked safely and walked the extra distance and got me in my apt. no time and under my total estimate. Hurrah and Go Gentle for your next move!
I recently moved and had a fantastic experience with Gentle Giant Moving. The entire process was incredibly easy, from coordinating the move to the careful handling of my furniture. I had the pleasure of working with Bogdan and Cristian, and they were absolutely fantastic. Both were incredibly friendly, helpful,…
The movers were fast and careful with my things, and very professional. Holding my things in the truck overnight was less of a hassle than I expected, and yhe actual move cost was hundreds of dollars less than the estimate. More expensive than other highly recommended and established local moving companies, but I…
Aaron, Caleb, Roman and Taran did a fine job moving us from Medford to the Pioneer Valley. Everything was expertly packed the first day and arrived fully intact the next. They were polite, personable and professional and Aaron, as team leader, communicated clearly. Our household goods were a tight fit in the 37-foot…
Moved with Gentle Giant many times and every single time the experience has been superb. The front office staff, movers, and service have all made each move as stress free as possible. Would recommend to any and all interested in making a move!
The Crew that led by Cody did an amazing job unloading and placing our items in the new place. They were very helpful and proactive to make sure all our needs were met. 10/10!
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…
My move was wonderful, the staff was safe, considerate and polite and this was my 2nd time using them!! True Gentle Giants, thank you for everything!!👻🎃♥️
Second time I have used these guys and they are the absolute best. The whole operation is very well organized and the office people are super helpful, and the movers themselves are super fast, very nice, and extremely competent. Would recommend them to anyone I know and will likely use them again in the future!
Our moving crew of Nerijus, Andrew, and Henry was excellent. They were incredibly well organized, efficient, hard working, and polite. Once the truck was full, they helped us load smaller personal items into my car. They unloaded everything exactly as we asked and assembled what furniture we needed help with before…
A crew of four moved me out of a Boston 4th floor walkup artist studio to a Somerville two and a half floor walkup studio.The artwork was carefully and professionally transported, including a couple of extra large canvases, some medium to large framed, glazed works, and several loads of oversized paperworks that…
A little bit on the expensive side, but overall incredibly well worth it. Gentle Giant showed up and took care of every little piece of my move in downtown Boston; they delivered me boxes and packing material way ahead of the move date, showed up right on time, figured all of the details around moving stuff between…
I have made several moves with GG and have always been happy with their service and responsiveness. 1 star off because they ain't cheap, although to be fair I did not price shop (given my previous satisfaction) and it was a cross-country move.
Gentle Giant was awesome! The crew they sent were incredible fast and efficient and safe! I was really pleased with communication throughout the process and the actual move. Would highly recommend!
I rarely write any reviews, but this one is different because Gentle Giant went out of their way to help me in two very hectic situations. Gentle Giant accommodated me when I had to pack and move my entire apartment after I got stuck abroad due to COVID-19. Moving is already stressful, but moving without being in…
Fantastic experience, the move was way faster than we expected and furniture moved was pristine. Also super accommodating and made sure to keep masks on as much as possible and sanitize.
