Gentle Giant Moving Company

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!

Premium Q Moving and Storage

My wife had interacted with some Premium Q staff who had been moving someone else in our complex and recommended them. We were also very pleased with the staff. They were helpful, careful and got a lot done in the three hour minimum booking time with packing up some furniture and boxes and moving them into a Pod.… Read full review

The guys showed up a bit late but were super professional and all business when they got here. They gave some thoughtful ideas around placement, since this is a temporary move so we can refinish hardwood floors. GREAT JOB! Done super fast and very professionally!

Gentle Giant Moving 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!
