Wonderful service! Gabe, Eric, and Mohammad were punctual, polite, and courteous! They were efficient with moving me out, careful with my belongings and even went above and beyond their duties! Highly recommend and will use them again in the future!

Amazing job Gentle Giant move crew!!!! Each team member was so efficient and helpful. Paul, my move crew leader was fantastic with coordinating the equipment and the truck and moving into my apartment building successfully. It all went so smoothly and I truly appreciated all the work put into making this move go SO well! Thanks again, Gentle Giant is the best!!

Gentle Giant was truly amazing in doing all the work. The movers were pleasant, sweet, accommodating and SO SO helpful with all requests. Highly recommend with no reservations!! Well worth it.

Vanessa Wolf

Out of 5 prior moves, this was the best crew I've used. Clean blankets, clean truck. Careful treatment of objects and no damage. Fast and safe. Great experience.

Fantastic experience, second time in a decade using Gentle Giant for a local move. Clear communication and pricing. Crew arrived early, worked efficiently and were super nice.

Used Gentle Giant for a 2nd floor condo move. 75% was packed but a lot of odd sized items remained. The team was incredible the day of the move, meticulous in their work and very personable. I also really appreciate the upfront transparent pricing and the tagging and tracking of all items throughout the process. A+ happy to recommend.

Renee Alexander

23:41 23 May 26

We were extremely satisfied with the exceptional customer service and professionalism of all three team members. Kyle, Andre, and Buenaventura were amazing. They called when they finished an earlier job and arrived early. They were super organized and their team work made the move so smooth! I highly recommend this company. Matthew Coates was awesome too

Cindy Selby

20:01 22 May 26

Jimmy and Paul truly made a difference in my move. I cannot say more incredible things about the two of them. Start to finish from the initial communication with the office. Then the two gentleman did a fantastic job on both ends. I wish I used them for my move 18 months ago, it would have been so much better. I highly recommend this company.

Joshua Ferrer

16:52 22 May 26

We were serviced by Kyle Williams and Frank Slater. They were communicative, efficient, and wonderful to work with. Quickly got an initial estimate which was close to the actual cost. Highly recommend!

Miranda Carman

From setting up the move to the move itself, everything went smoothly with Gentle Giants. Professional, prompt, and kind communication. Transparent pricing and billing. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A very special thank you to Paul, Mohamed, and Tyler for their excellent work! We highly recommend Gentle Giants.

MB Kroekel

Kara Couch

This is my 2nd move with Gentle Giants. The team is extremely thorough, skilled and professional. The moving team was on time and prepared. They consulted with me at every step and made sure that things were the way that I wanted them to be, especially at the end site. I had to pack in a very tight timeframe and didn't get as much done in 2 closets as I had hoped. I was moving close by so figured I would get it done. The team lead told me he went ahead and packed the closets for me. I almost cried from relief. They really went above and beyond in my opinion. Erick, Gabe and Kevin were amazing and made sure to take great care of my items and alerted me to possible issues with some of my furniture as far as wear and tear that could become a problem. This move was basically seamless for me and it was all because they made sure it would be. The quote was accurate and there were no surprises. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mindy Grossmann

20:27 11 May 26

We used Gentle Giant for the 4th time since my daughter has lived in DC. The first two were from one apartment to another, next was to move her stuff into their storage facility and this most recent time to move it from storage to her new place.. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Everything is so easy!! From initiating the paperwork to the follow up. Everyone I dealt with including the movers were friendly and so helpful!! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Gentle Giant delivered the smoothest move of my life — and that’s saying a lot, since I’m in my 70s. Javier, Erick, Octavian and Kevin labored seamlessly for nine hours to move me from a six-bedroom to 4-bedroom home — carefully prepping by laying down plastic and wrapping furniture and later patiently placing items until they were perfectly situated. They were a joy to work with for nine hours. I also credit GG with sending out Kieffer to give a detailed, very fair estimate and figuring out the most efficient way of handling some of my hard to move items. Other companies worked off online checklists, and it’s easy to forget items or really know your needs. I give GG my highest recommendation.

JOSEPH D DENNEY

23:09 06 May 26

Gentle Giant did an outstanding job moving my daughter in to her DC apartment. Javier and Paul were 5 star, great care taken with everything, efficient and extremely hard working! They were both perfect. I highly recommend Gentle Giant!!

Emma Benson-Xu

20:42 04 May 26

This is our second time using Gentle Giant for our move, and just like last time, everything was exceptional. The movers were extremely efficient, kind, helpful, and made moving, feel easy. We drove across state lines for this move, and they got to our place quickly.The team (Karun, Kevin, Mohammed and Frankie were fantastic and their vibes helped keep the move, which can be very stressful, upbeat and fun believe it or not. 11/10!!!!!would recommend!!!!!!!

Fiona Dwyer-McNulty

23:25 03 May 26

We had a great experience with Gentle Giant Moving Co! The team was kind, efficient, and professional, and they took great care with all of our belongings. They also supported us in the weeks leading up to the move with materials, packing advice, and clear communication throughout the whole process. We’re so grateful and will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!

The three guys were punctual, courteous, and extremely efficient. Not only were they professional but their friendliness made the move very relaxed.

Gorish Tandon

00:28 30 Apr 26

I cannot be more happy with my experience with Gentle Giant.Paul & Erick took careful note of the inventory, formulated a plan, and executed with precision. They engaged extremely professionally and I don't think I ever heard them so much as complain.Anyone can hire big movers who can lift heavy stuff, but I felt Paul & Erick used critical thinking to maneuver the inventory, sometimes even disassembling and reassembling massive pieces of furniture extremely quickly to get through tight corridors, and taking extreme precaution.But keep in mind, this is a premium service. I find moving to be a rather stressful experience and would rather pay someone for their services to alleviate that stress, and in this case Gentle Giant absolutely delivered.I will be recommending Gentle Giant to family & friends and also using them for future moves.

David Skinner

12:53 27 Apr 26

Outstanding, hardworking, and courteous staff make any business better, and the folks at Gentle Giant really have that down. They're pricier, but you definitely get what you're paying for with this moving company. I've used them twice, over a decade apart, and I couldn't be more pleased with their packing and moving and setting up services.

Megan McNamara [Barefoot]

18:28 16 Apr 26

We had an amazing experience with Gentle Giant Moving Company. The team worked unbelievably hard the entire time, lifting heavy furniture, navigating tight spaces, and doing it all with a positive attitude. They were not only strong and efficient, but also thoughtful and careful with our belongings. Honestly, they made one of the most stressful days feel easy. We were so impressed and grateful for their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!

Mark Giambrone

17:16 16 Apr 26

Kyle, Dex, and Jimmy were great. Very professional and efficient. This is our second time using Gentle Giant and I would highly recommend them for your next move.

Robert Marriott

05:33 16 Apr 26

My crew was coordinated, careful, and fast, accomplishing the move hours below the top of the time estimate for my small, short distance residential move - despite my inability to get a loading dock open for most of an hour. While the price was a bit high, I found it was well worth it.

excellent service from the coordinator(dominique), to the movers(Buenaventura,Kevin ,Octavian) I had to rescedule more than 4 times, due to closing issues, and they accomodated me every step of the way. Movers didnt ding the walls or corners not once, and everything wack packaged, wrapped, and unloaded to my desire locations perfectly. will use again

Gideon

00:06 11 Apr 26

Fantastic experience - super easy move, almost too easy! Everything was packed up with care, moved quickly and carefully through both buildings and organized perfectly. I could not recommend Gentle Giant more! Especially with a tight turnaround on availability on my end, they made it a breeze.

Leah L

19:20 10 Apr 26

Thank you Dominic, Dex, Mason and Jimmy for the incredible service. All my stuff made it safe and unbroken (you always expect something to break but not one thing with these guys!). And they were so nice, easy to work with. Big recommendation.

Bailey Biggs

14:30 26 Mar 26

Dex and Karai were so pleasant and helpful with our move! They were patient when asked to move a dresser and bookshelf three times because we weren’t positive on the exact location in the room they were moving it into. They even assisted with moving a table to make more room for the furniture. They were extremely careful not to damage walls, stairwells or the furniture themselves. Quick and efficient overall as well!

Jonathan Soper

16:33 25 Mar 26

The guys were great - professional, courteous and thorough. They moved a very heavy piece of exercise equipment downstairs for me even though it wasn't moving, which saved me a lot of stress. 10 out of 10!

Lila2s

16:33 23 Mar 26

Gabe was an absolute lifesaver. After a terrible weekend of moving with many mishaps and where if-anything-can-go-wrong-it-will events occurred, Gabe was a shining light. He helped me figure out a plan and went out of his way to stay at the warehouse and help me put my stuff into a truck that was too small. He was one of the nicest, most competent people I’ve ever met. I would literally lay down my life for him. Thank you Gabe!!!

Liz Carlson

16:08 23 Mar 26

The crew was fantastic--professional, friendly, easygoing--they really took my anxiety about the move down several notches!

21:51 19 Mar 26

This review is way overdue since our move was in January, but I wanted to take the time to highlight how great our experience was with Gentle Giant. It was honestly the least stressful move we've ever had. We were given 3 movers and Paul was assigned as the team leader. We're glad we got assigned Paul since not only was he kind but he is also definitely good at what he does. We were able to tell from the start how experienced he was in terms of how to make the move efficient and how to lead his team. We were amazed at the speed of the entire team! We highly recommend Gentle Giant for their moving expertise, professionalism, and customer service (the staff that I spoke to at the beginning even before booking were also super friendly). We will definitely be using Gentle Giant again for our next move!

Five stars, no hesitation. We moved from Rosslyn, Virginia, to Cambridge, Massachusetts — full interstate, significant volume — and Gentle Giant was worth every dollar.Let me be upfront: it's not cheap. But this is a textbook "you get what you pay for" situation. From the moment they showed up, I didn't lift a finger. They packed, they wrapped, they loaded, they hauled, they unloaded — all of it handled with a level of professionalism that's genuinely hard to find. Not a single item was damaged across an entire interstate move.Communication was clear from booking through delivery. Kieffer managed our move from start to finish and made the whole process feel controlled, not chaotic. Every question I had got a fast, straight answer.If you're pricing out movers and Gentle Giant looks expensive, I get it — but factor in that you are buying your time back, your stress back, and the peace of mind that comes with a crew that actually knows what they're doing. We'd use them again without a second thought.

Kyle, Dex, and Tanner were extremely professional and efficient, and they communicated very well throughout the process. They have my highest recommendation.

Marjorie Heiss

19:26 11 Mar 26

I used to think moving was AWFUL! And, yes -- a lot of the packing and sorting is still awful -- but Gentle Giant makes the final part of the move a breeze. Truly! They expertly finish packing stuff you didn't get to or need help with (like artwork and fragile items) and move everything out smoothly and quickly. They are also wonderful about cleaning up the emptied space! Likewise, when they deliver everything is orderly and any packing debris taken away. I haven't had any scratched or damaged items. I have used Gentle Giant several times for both long and short distance moves and I always end up feeling so grateful for how easy they make the process. A special shout out to Dex Veney who led the team for two of my moves in Baltimore, as well as Francis and Morgan who helped this last move. They are very professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with! I can't say enough good things about Gentle Giant!

Chris B

19:36 09 Mar 26

Paul, Jimmy, and Brandon may have topped my best moving experience ever. Super professional, nice, methodical, and thoughtful. I couldn't have asked for a better moving experience. Thanks to you all and Dominique!

Margot Brazier

11:31 07 Mar 26

The Gentle Giant crew was great at communication, got to us in time and worked very professionally and fast. We were overwhelmed but once they started working, knew right away that everything would work out as planned. And it did: All of our furniture and boxes safely arrived at the new place and storage unit. Pricing was reasonable too.

Ellen Cohen

14:43 06 Mar 26

Everything about this move went beautifully. Dominique was wonderful and the 3 gentlemen who did the actual move were terrific. I wholeheartedly recommend Gentle Giant in general and these individuals in particular. The men really made sure everything was placed as we needed it to be in the new home. Thoughtful and professional. Top notch.

I had such a wonderful experiencing working with Gentle Giant -- my best experience working with a mover yet. Everyone whom I worked with, from the coordination end with Dominic and Dominque to the moving crew (Andrew, Joel, Josh, and Kevin) was responsive, respectful, careful with my items, and efficient. I couldn't recommend this company enough to anyone looking for a stress-free move within Philly.

Yesterday, I moved from the Back Bay (Boston) to Coolidge Corner (Brookline). The Gentle Giant team from Beverly took on the job, and they are obviously first rate professionals. Please note that GG is a very expensive option, but if your budget enables you to hire them, you'll see that it's worth it to have a completely highly competent, trustworthy, unflappable movers.

They are very transparent from the beginning about cost and time. Andrew was extremely helpful and willing to answer any questions. In fact, he even encouraged me to shop around to make sure I felt confident in my choice. They are full service and can do the packing if you choose but I did my own. On the day of the move, the movers arrived within expected time, did the loading and unloading swiftly. They set up the bed and put all my boxes and furniture as I labeled them. Before leaving, they clearly explained my bill and what to expect for the final charge. It has been a few days and I have to say, none of my packed things were damaged/broken and all the furniture is fine. Thank you guys! Truly appreciated your professionalism and for being extremely well mannered. It really helped during a stressful time.

Emily Vidal

18:45 02 Aug 21

These guys are absolutely top-notch. The experience was great from start to finish, all the way from our initial inquiry and booking with Rachael up until the very last (empty) box left the house. Every single person we interacted with was polite, professional, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was done the way we wanted it and that our possessions were well taken care of. I was apprehensive due to a less than perfect experience with a previous moving company, but my worries were quickly resolved when I saw how good these guys are at what they do. Shoutout to Orion, Shane, Liam, Brandon, Will, Noah and Sean- you guys are the real MVPs.

Christine Ruth

Sam, Marcus and Ryan moved me today and they were phenomenal: polite, careful and so fast! I’m on a tight budget but decided to go with GG, despite being a higher quote, because I knew they’d get the job done and they didn’t disappoint. Just can’t say enough good things about this company. This is the second time I’ve used GG and both times were head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you so much guys!

Terrific moving experience. The crew, Mike, Matthew and Darius were careful, efficient, professional, on time and a lot of fun. They worked their tails off picking up and delivering while being certain not to mess up the residences. I can't say enough good about this company. I would highly recommend them for your next move.

Our experience with Gentle Giant was exceptional. Not only were they efficient and careful with belongings, their men were all thoughtful and kind from the packing to the unloading. They repeatedly going above and beyond the technical scope of the job to ensure the highest quality experience during our move. We could not recommend their services more highly.

I recently had my dream couch delivered to my new East Bay studio apartment by Alex from Gentle Giant Moving Company. Gentle Giant is basically my new go-to for any and all future moving needs :). Alex has been moving furniture for many years, and you can certainly tell. I needed to get this large sofa up to the third floor in an old, elevator-less apartment building. This was a total walk-in-the-park for this seasoned mover. Alex was incredibly careful, efficient, and yes, “gentle.” He was super mindful of my hardwood floors and made sure to not drag/scratch anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks again, Alex!!

Gerald Leblanc

I can't say more about gentle giant movers. they are exemplary. so quick, so courteous, on time, everything you could possibly want.I was in a difficult situation, needed new to me furniture delivered and through the kindness of Tom o'gowan Santa's elves delivered my furniture at no cost to me. it truly was an overwhelming Christmas miracle and I will never be able to thank them enough for their kindness.I hope that I am posting this on the right page so that they can see how appreciative I am. this is above and beyond a five-star experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs moving expertise.

Never got a chance to use this company. Made a call last Monday, spoke for half hour with rep explaining everything I needed for a company move, gave him our move date and he said there were 11 people available for that date. He asked me to send pictures, which I did first thing Tuesday morning. Never heard back from anyone, so I emailed again yesterday (Friday) and he sent an estimate with a request to pick another date. I explained, this is a business, I can't just change the move date and he said well no one is available now, we booked a bigger move. Not cool. Wasted my time and now I still have to find a mover, with a week less time to do so. 😡

We hired Gentle Giant for a classic difficult Somerville move with winding staircases and tight parking. They did it perfectly. They packed and moved all our belongings and were very careful with our stuff and our home, and did it all under budget.

The crew we had today was amazing! We moved my mother from her house of 47 years to a new condo. The guys were very friendly, professional, respectful and just perfect. Furniture was old, items had meaning, and everything was handled with the utmost care. This company made this hard move very smooth. Thanks!

It doesn't get much better than Gentle Giant. It's hard enough moving but the people at Gentle Giant make it much easier. Communication was great (that's huge for us). Their team was courteous and professional. Great care was taken with all of our belongings including an antique mirror that is very fragile. They even protected the driveway and sidewalk from the loading ramp. I'll be recommending them to anyone I know that is moving.

Natalie Chatfield Atri

We needed to move very unexpectedly due to our landlord selling our condo! Our daughter has special needs and the move caused our entire family a great amount of stress!!!

Terrible experience with Gentle Giant in June, 2017. The crew loaded the truck with my furniture & belongings as well those of another customer. Several sentimental items were lost: things that can never be replaced. Also, damage to an antique clock & loss of the pendulum. Company has not taken responsibility.

Gentle Giant did a marvelous job in moving all of the furniture to our new house. They were careful, considerate even with the hard job of moving my old play-a piano. This was very difficult as we are still in a construction site and the piano had to be moved across rough ground to our walk out basement. Initially it was raining and could not be moved. They carefully placed in in the garage and then came back on a better day to make the move, which they made look easy. Each of the movers were very responsive t our needs.

00:28 13 May 18

We can’t say enough positive things about our recent move with Gentle Giant. Every member of the team was professional and upbeat. More importantly, they treated all of our possessions with great care and attention to detail. They went out of their way to provide excellent service...we highly recommend them!

The team at Gentle Giant was fantastic. I could not believe how efficiently they worked, moving all of our things quickly and carefully. They were genuinely caring, friendly and knew how to best handle all of the different items being moved. They even helped an elderly lady with a few of her things as she was moving them out of her apartment near ours. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone. I will use them for any moves in the future! It is rare today that a company lives up to their mission statement and “about” description on their website, but Gentle Giant absolutely does. I can't say enough good things about Gentle Giant movers.

I have used Gentle Giant two times now for my moves and I cannot say enough good things. During my most recent move, the movers arrived right on time, expertly parked their truck, loaded all my boxes, perfectly wrapped my big furniture, kept my TVs safe, and had an amazing positive attitude the entire time. They practically ran from the truck to my apartment and back, I was so impressed. They kept my home safe by dropping a mat down so they wouldn't track in mud, they never hit any walls, and they cheerfully rearranged my furniture when I didn't love the layout. Their excellence was highlighted when later that day my appliances were delivered from the store by men who were cussing, complaining, damaged my wood floors, and ended up leaving my refrigerator on my first level after failing to get it up the stairs. Thank you so much to Gentle Giant for making this part of my moving day effortless. Cannot say enough good things and I'll be hiring them for every move I have in the future. You will not regret hiring this company.

i used Gentle Giants Moving Company this past week for my move from Charlotte, NC to middle TN. Everyone i had the pleasure of dealing with was courteous and respectful. The movers packed my household items and then loaded everything onto the trucks. They hustled the entire time. Literally running to load and unload the truck at the new house. There was some miscommunication, but as soon as it came to light, the man in charge made sure to go over everything with me to ensure nothing more was not communicated. i HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giants and their crew. What a great group of people in the Charlotte office!!!

I had a phenomenal experience with Gentle Giant last month when they moved the entire contents of my 3 BR home from Massachusetts to Maine. Ed and Sudi at the office were great to work with throughout the planning stages. The most amazing part of the move was working with the moving team of Tomas, Paul and Darco. They were so efficient, so thoughtful, so respectful - honestly I feel like they treated me like family. They were especially kind to my two very anxious dogs. They arrived right on time and that team worked so hard and so well together - there was not a nick of damage to any of my possessions nor to either of the homes involved in the move. They went above and beyond and were so wonderful that I actually missed them after they left! I would definitely use this company again for any future moves and I give them the highest possible recommendation to anyone looking for a mover.

I cannot say enough great things about these men and how hard they worked to make everything seem seemless! Every part of my move, from packing to the move itself, was done with thought, care, smarts, and a great attitude. I was so stressed and they kept reassuring me that they had everything under control - and they were so right. Each item was packed and protected as if it were me doing the work. I never once felt like I needed to micro manage their work and who gets to have that confidence in others these days? The men were polite, friendly, clean, knowledgeable and, true to their name- Gentle. I know they are more expensive than many other moving companies but the money I paid was worth every penny! Highly recommend without any reservations!

Had a 100% problem-free experience with Gentle Giant moving from Charlotte to Raleigh. Jason took great care with booking my move. Evan, Matt, and Levi were AMAZING and treated my earthly belongings with care and respect. I've moved a lot of times and dealt with a lot of different movers and these guys were just spectacular. From reservation to execution- top notch.

Thanks so very much to Gary Newman and the other three members of my incredible Gentle Giant moving crew--Flaviu, Daniel and Tim--for their amazing efforts during my move from Newton to Westwood a couple of weeks ago. This team arrived at my house at 8:00 am right on time, the truck was packed, including everything going in to storage, by 9:30 am, and all furniture was set up in my new place ready to go by 10:30 am! Incredible! We used Gentle Giant when we moved to Newton 26 years ago. That move went so well that I didn't hesitate to call Gentle Giant this time around when we decided to move and you guys did not disappoint.I will be in touch within the year as we decide our more permanent housing situation. In the meantime, I know all of our treasures that Gentle Giant will be keeping in storage til then are in good hands. Again, thanks to all of you for making moving day--a day usually laden with stress and worry-- into a truly easy and productive day. Your performance was stellar and very much!Susan Camenker

These people are fantastic! Very professional, helpful and friendly! No sense of dismay at any issues and very willing to help any way they could. I had an unusual situation where we were moving 2 full homes to a home with an inlaw apartment so it was very involved. I am so thankful that I chose a Gentle Giant to move both of our households. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

A stellar moving company....I continue to be so impressed by their skill, professionalism, and general good will during what always is a stressful time. This was our second move with them. They, quite literally, are the best!

Praise the Lithuanians and their co-workers! Saul, Justinas, Deividas, Augutis, Codrin, Lea and Edward - and also the DC men! Thank you all for moving me. Overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we had - these fine men and women were so hard working, smart, courteous and helpful. I will move with no other. We would not have made it without them. The best!

Alex and his crew of Brandon and Alex were outstanding. This group were out of Nashua.They were so professional and helpful. Even when I asked them to move the same thing twice their answer was always "of course, no problem". I don't give 5 stars very often because nothing is perfect but these guys were excellent!!

15:19 17 Aug 17

They were professional, on time, fast and didn't sit around and look they had nothing to do. I used them for their Crane services. I will say if you are thinking of hiring a crane company to move furniture or what not...then hire these guys! I can not say enough amazing things about how professional and easy the crane moving was. The operator Rudy and the two young guys he brought along were all so accommodating and made me feel everything was in good hands. I will be using them again in the future!

Mary Jane Peoples

14:45 14 Aug 17

Can't say enough about the great job these folks did! We had several very heavy but very fragile pieces that they moved with total professionalism. All of the staff were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Would hire them again without any hesitation!!

Gentle Giants is such an appropriate name. Our items were packed meticulously. The team was not daunted by the size or weight of any items to move or the distance to travel from the truck to it's final spot. Everyone was very easy to work with, personable and friendly. They even let my 7 year old son help! I wouldn't hesitate to use the Gentle Giants again.

I only needed two hours to move my couch to my daughter's house , and bring her couch to mine. Then they moved 5-6 boxes into my storage unit. They showed up right about when they had been scheduled for, and were courteous and treated my things with the utmost care. I would recommend them to anyone.

William Holden

13:14 20 Jul 17

I've moved 14 times in my life, and I can honestly say, Gentle Giant was the best experience of them all. The crew was professional, friendly, good sense of humor (considering yesterday 7/19/17 it was in the 90's) and so efficient the bill came in under the estimate. Nothing was damaged (another first for me).I cannot recommend this company enough.Thank you to the Somerville, MA Crew. You all did an fantastic job!

I was really nervous about moving, especially with some family treasures. I was moving with my couch that was handmade by my grandpa, a desk my grandmother used (and I remember from her house), my grandmother's hope chest, and coffee table. Gentle Giant was wonderful with estimating how much moving would cost (they give you a low end pricing and a higher end pricing) and in helping me get ready for the move. The two gentlemen who moved my stuff were so nice and patient. They were on time and efficient! Thank you, Gentle Giant for helping me with this stressful time!

Vince Edwards

We recently used Gentle Giant at my business to help us move multiple pieces of heavy furniture and boxes up and down many flights of stairs. The three young men from GG were prompt, polite, cheerful and made the whole process a pleasure. We will certainly use them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

I can't really count how many times I have moved with Gentle Giant over the years but every time I am so grateful for how easy and stress free they make it.The guys are always competent, accommodating and delightful. The company clearly has created a culture of great respect for their employees - how nice for us!

Wonderful experience with our move! Seth, Jay, and Tanner were incredible! Professional, efficient(!!), and we felt they were mindful of us staying within the initial quote despite our (my husband and my) underestimate of how many boxes/things we had to move. They brainstormed with us for a success solution and, were flexible when we had an unexpected drop off at a storage unit! Will definitely use them for our next move and, recommend them to friends/family!!

Hello, since my parents don't have Facebook I'm writing this on behalf of them:Patrick (in the office) not only is the best contact person BUT he described Gentle Giant to perfectionHe complimented how well the company takes care of their employees (benefits etc.)He told me the price would be expensive BUT I would be well taken care of and would get a crew thatwould be friendly and courteous. WELL – I can’t even tell you how UNBELIEVABLE they were – I wish I could of tipped them $1,000.00 each.· John· Alex· Brian I enjoyed every one of these hard working, friendly, dedicated workers – All of them appreciating working for Gentle Giant. Thank you so much – to All of you. You/they were worth EVERY penny!! Paul and Heidi Ricci

We are extremely pleased with Gentle Giant (we used the one out of Lorton). We cannot begin to express how impressed we were with their speed moving us out of a 3rd floor walkup. They were very professional and ensured that everything was moved with extreme care. Thank you Andre, Dex, Dominique and Donny. You guys were amazing! We HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giant!!!

We recently moved from South Jersey to Baltimore. GG was easy to work with. Our crew was professional and hustled all day long. They carried our stuff up townhouse stairs, damaged nothing, and treated our belongings with care. I would recommend them to anyone!

Stephanie Coon

21:25 27 Apr 17

This is the 2nd time I’ve used Gentle Giant for moving services, and if I ever fine myself moving again, they’ll be my first choice (not that I ever want to move again!) My crew, Andre, Dominique, Stratton and Sergiu, arrived right at the time they said, even after struggling to figure out the numbering system of my apartment complex. I had everything packed and ready when they arrived, so we did a quick walk through so I could explain what had to move, and they were off and running – literally, I heard them running up and down the 3 flights of stairs. The crew had to deal with weather that wasn’t the greatest, as it started raining part of the way through the loading of the truck, but they didn’t let it phase them. When we arrived at my new house, they were ready to go. Another quick walk through to tell them where I wanted stuff and they were off and running again. Even when we ran into issues with my box springs going up the stairs, the team didn’t slow down. They finished my move in 5 hours! I thought for sure it would take longer than that, but I guess I shouldn’t have doubted the superior staff that Gentle Giant uses. They even gave ME a thank you card for using them again, and it’s still sitting on my coffee table.

We have used Gentle Giant for many years. They are the best moving company that we have ever seen. We have used teams to move all over this country and they have been excellent in all locations and all regards. They are an outstanding example of professionalism, politeness and efficiency. They are cost competitive and willing to be flexible about every aspect of moving. More than once they have come in under their original cost estimate, something no other movers have ever done. We love Gentle Giant! George & Cheryl Lilly

We had the most positive experience with Gentle Giant. They came on Thursday and finished all of our packing. They were so careful with everything, and it was nicely packed and labeled. Friday was the move day, and it was a breeze! We are planning to move again within the year, and we will definitely be using the Giants! Thank you for your politeness and over the top service!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Gentle Giant, and especially the D.C team. This was my first interstate move, and just the thought of it was very overwhelming. But Gentle Giant are pros and made the whole process easy. From my first conversation with David R., to the home estimate walk through, to getting all of the details squared away with our Moving Coordinator Sudi R., I felt good in the days leading up to our move. With our old home on the market, we didn't have the luxury of packing ourselves, so we opted to have the Gentle Giant team pack for us. Everything was packed with extra care and very efficiently. I was amazed at how fast the packing team got everything boxed up and ready! I am so grateful for our Move Chief Octavian J.'s thoroughness, attention to details, and professionalism. And he was very pleasant to work with! (Give that guy a raise!) The move out and unload teams were speedy and very careful not to damage and walls, ceilings, doors, etc. And I should mention, that they were a very affordable option. It was overall a stress-free experience. Thanks Gentle Giant! You all are awesome!

I have just completed a move out of my old house, storage with Gentle Giants and then delivery of my belongings to my new address. What a fabulous company of incredibly courteous and efficient people. From my very first conversation to inquire about a possible move to the last signature of the delivery this company has exceeded my expectations. I heard about Gentle Giants from my daughter who heard about them from a friend. I have highly recommended this company to several friends and all of us have been completely satisfied beyond belief every single time. Hopefully I will not need to move again, but if I do............................I will definitely call Gentle Giants.Thank you to each and everyone associated with Gentle Giants!!!!

I've just completed my third move with Gentle Giant and once again they were top notch. We had to juggle dates because of a blizzard, but they did all the work we'd planned over two days in one because they sent extra men and trucks and just got it done - with the expertise they always have shown me in the past. Everything was packed so carefully there was no breakage (which I have experienced big time with another mover). Everyone was super polite, energetic, and patient upon delivery when even my piano had to be moved a couple of times to find its right spot.I've become such a great packer myself watching their videos that I could do this part time if I wanted to. Gotta love those bumpers.I hope to not move again for awhile, but I will call Gentle Giant if I do (Brooklyn team and Boston teams were terrific). Thanks, Guys.

Irecommend gentle Giants to anyone moving more than a toothbrush. They were positively excellent. Wrapped and very carefully removed all furniture carefully wrapped Antiques and all the rest. No dents in walls or breakage it all. They are also very accommodating on all requests. I highly recommend them.

Our company, Operation Outreach in Holliston, MA, recently used the services of Gentle Giant for the second time. Once again, we are THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED. We could not believe how quickly the crew handled everything. They were pleasant and completely courteous and professional throughout, and did not make one whoops in the process. Because they were so fast, the charges were considerably below the estimate, which made us VERY happy, since we are a non-profit literacy program. Thank you, Gentle Giant! You really know your stuff.

Thank you! Thank you! We called on short notice. You arrived in 2 hours during your busy season and moved heavy pieces of furniture from a second floor to a first floor apartment. Two other companies attempted this task and told us it was impossible due to the weight of the furniture and structure of the home. Two of your men completed it quickly and professionally. We are so thankful!

We have used Gentile Giant twice now for an out of state move in the last year, most recently July 2016. We had two different crews for the moves. They were the most polite and professional movers I have ever experienced. They work well together and are respectful of each other and take pride in their work. Each team member is Hard working always smiling , even after 14 hours and completely the job in the dark. I have moved about 5 times prior to moving with G.G. and never felt the need to rave about the experience.They truly are professional.

Andre Eilers is Gentle Giant's Washington DC Regional Manager. He began his career with Gentle Giant back in 2012 when he moved to the US from his home country of Germany, and he has been with the company ever since, quickly progresses from mover to manager. His favorite things about working for GG include the ability to see different places and meet different people everyday, the physical aspect of the work, and 'the feeling of reward you get after a hard day of work.'

Andre credits his time at Gentle Giant with learning how to improvise and adapt to any given situation at any time on a move. 'Every day is different, and no two moves are the same. Each move presents its own set of challenges. I have learned to improvise and think on my toes to get the job done quickly and efficiently for our customers over the years.'

When Kieffer started with Gentle Giant’s DC office, he quickly established himself as a leader. As a lifelong basketball player, he was prepared for the hustle, teamwork and focus expected of a Giant. Now a manager, Kieffer thinks of himself more as a coach, working with new Giants to help them reach top performance.

As is the case in every regional Gentle Giant office, Kieffer and his team preach and live a healthy lifestyle. This is probably why several of our locations have repeatedly been recognized as a Healthiest Employer, including DC in 2020.

Outside of work, Kieffer enjoys traveling, playing basketball and working out with his fellow Giants. You'll often find him in the DC warehouse gym bright and early before a move as he loves the fun competitive nature that exists when working out with his colleagues.
