About Boston

For more than 40 years Boston, Massachusetts has been the home and National headquarters for Gentle Giant moving company. After graduating from Northeastern University our Founder and President, Larry O’Toole, started Gentle Giant while living in Cambridge and in-between engineering jobs. Famous for institutions of higher education, Boston’s student population influences a highly diverse population as well as a constant influx of new residents to the city. September first has become notorious as the date that most apartment leases turn over and is the biggest moving day of the year in the Boston.

First settled in 1625 and later incorporated in 1822, Boston serves as the seat of many historical events and places from the American Revolution onwards. The age of the city and its residential neighborhoods have greatly influenced the growth of Gentle Giant and the way we execute moving jobs. From the tight alleys of the North End to the 5th floor walk-up apartments in the Back Bay, our challenging environments have forced us to innovate and excel to become the best movers in the city of Boston. We recruit individuals that possess the strength and stamina to move from one fifth floor apartment to another and deliver on our promise of exceptional customer service.

Boston is a culturally vibrant city with no end of events and attractions. Boston is home to many sports championships and teams including the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots. Our rich history is reflected in the many art museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. 680,000 people are proud to call Boston home, and Gentle Giant is proud to move them there.

Somerville Group Manager
Mindaugas heard about Gentle Giant from his brother, Donatas, who worked at Gentle Giant during the summer on a J-1 visa. His favorite part of working at Gentle Giant is the people, both his colleagues and the customers whom he interacts with daily. Once he started at Gentle Giant, he felt he was in the right place and decided to continue a career here. He believes the Gentle Giant culture - including honesty, enthusiasm, teamwork, respect and going above and beyond - brings out the best in people and are the ingredients that every Giant is made of.

Outside of work, he enjoys motorcycles and the process of fixing them. He also enjoys traveling, fishing and being with his friends and family. His parents and his brother, Donatas, live in Lithuania.

Crew Chief
Rolando became a Giant in April 2014 and has gone from strength to strength ever since! He quickly progressed from mover to Crew Chief and credits the development program here at GG with making this a possibility. Rolando was connected to Gentle Giant through Parkour Generations where he was an athlete and teacher. His athleticism made him an obvious fit for GG given the physical and often strenuous nature of moving.

Rolando is a natural athlete and enjoys playing baseball, running track and, of course, lots of parkour outside of work.

Alln and Vladimir were exceptional. They were respectful, knowledgeable and exceptionally efficient. They went through the steps of going through the house to see what was there and needed to be moved asking me what I wanted to take and leave. They packed everything very carefully, so nothing broke and there were so many boxes I don’t know how they managed. Additionally, they rolled up three rugs rather large rugs that needed to be transported to my new home. And when I got there, they lay the rugs where I wanted them and made sure they were in place the way I wanted them. I Cannot praise these guys enough. They were just sensational and I want to thank them and gentle giant for having such a great staff and crew. I wish them success and good luck.

They are the best movers BY FAR I've had the pleasure to utilize their services. One phone call is all it takes to get a competitive quote and date set. On the day, the team of 3 was communicative and efficient, and they even helped pack up the loose items. Large, expensive items like my 65" LED TV and massive 4'x6' pictures were thoroughly wrapped and boxed properly. But I shouldn't be surprised with how gentle they were, it's literally in their name! Unloading items was a breeze too, diligently unwrapping and placing the moving boxes in the exact room they needed to. I couldn't even consider using another moving company after this experience.

The truck and crew arrived on time with a phone call to alert us they were on the way. Everyone was extremely polite and carefully handled our furnishings throughout the process of wrapping with protective covers, taping and labelling everything for storage. It was fun to watch them work so well as a team and to maneuver a couple of the more difficult pieces. Could not be happier and recommend them without hesitation.

Gentle Giant Moving Company is excellent! I’ve used them a number of times since 1983, both local and interstate moving. You can always depend on working with very efficient, respectful and friendly movers, every time! Thanks!!

Gentle Giant helped me move from MA to Long Island. The entire process was clear and they did a great job from day one. They answered all my questions, showed up on time and all the movers were kind, helpful and reassuring throughout the entire move. One of my least favorite things is moving and they made it very easy. I would recommend them to anyone and would absolutely use them for another move!

Gentle Giant did an excellent job moving our office from Boston to Wellesley. Unlike many other companies we contacted, they came to our office to do a free estimate, which ended up being completely accurate. They provided us with packing bins and materials a week before the move. The movers were professional and efficient. And the specialty services - which dismantled and then reassembled some of our larger pieces of furniture - were EXCELLENT. All in all, I highly recommend Gentle Giant.

Just moved from MA to CT and my Gentle Giant crew was EXCEPTIONAL! Alex, Benjamin, Erikas and Rokus went above and beyond from start to finish. We had them come pack on day 1, load day 2, and move day 3 all in 90 degree weather. They were incredibly kind, professional, attentive and efficient. They handled every item of ours with great care. Alex went above and beyond to make sure the entire move went smoothly from start to finish and coordinated it all. I highly recommend Gentle Giant, and specifically this crew, for any move and will be using them for any moves in the future!

I recently used Gentle Giant to move to a new apartment. The moving team (Jordan, Mantvydas, Nerijus) were AMAZING!! I still can't get over how quickly, efficiently, and carefully they packed and moved everything. This included breaking down furniture and carefully putting them together again in the new place. They showed up on time (even slightly earlier than the arrival window I was given). The entire process was done in half the time I expected them to. Each person on the team was friendly and professional, and I really appreciated how respectful they were, patiently answering all my questions and concerns. They were really great to work with. Gentle Giant is now my go to when I need to move again!
