About Charlotte, N.C.

Charlotte is nicknamed the “Queen’s City” in honor of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III at the time the city was founded in 1750. About 50 years later the city became famous for being the location of the first gold rush in the United States. While people no longer move here with the hope of finding gold, it’s still easy to see why so many of our customers have relocated to Charlotte, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.

Whether you’re a sports fan, foodie, culture enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, or just looking for family friendly fun – Charlotte has something for you. From the NASCAR Hall of Fame to the downtown stadiums of the Charlotte Hornets, Carolina Panthers, and Charlotte Knights—there is no shortage of entertainment for local sports fans. Young professionals and local college students can enjoy the numerous breweries and live music venues. Other notable attractions include: the Charlotte Ballet, Discovery Place Children’s museum, Carowinds Amusement Park, and the U.S. National Whitewater Center—which features the largest man-made whitewater river in the world.

Although we’ve won many awards, we’re especially proud to be named one of Charlotte’s best moving companies and one of Charlotte’s Healthiest Employers! Whether you’re moving across town, or across the country Gentle Giant is your trusted hometown Charlotte mover. When it comes to the perfect, stress-free move, we really do hit it out of the park.

Moving can be stressful, so leave the hard work to us! We’ll come the day before your move and pack everything for you. When you hire Gentle Giant to pack your valuable belongings there is the added guarantee that your items will arrive safe and sound at the other end.  We take the necessary care and precision required to pack everything from crystal stemware to your baseball card collection like they were our own. If you want to pack yourself, though, we offer free delivery of moving boxes to your home too!

Gentle Giants is the most professional and courteous company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have used them twice - once for storage then unloading and once for moving to my new home and putting the remainder of my items in storage. They give you their undivided attention and respond to your every need. Using Gentle Giants makes moving a real pleasure. I would recommend them highly and you will not be disappointed!

The crew was amazing start to finish - polite and efficient! When we were unable to locate an item, the team responded with a sense of urgency and concern. It was our error/ misplacement! We highly recommend Gentle Giant for your moving needs!

This was my 1st time using Gentle Giants, and they are hands down the best moving company I have ever used. Dominic was amazing in getting it scheduled as well as Raquel, and then the 3 movers, Andrew, Houston and Santiago were all incredible. They were super nice, fast and efficient, knew how to move everything so well, on time, nothing was damaged - everything went so smooth and so much better than any other move I ever had. Thanks Andrew, Houston and Santiago and also Dominic and Raquel - super grateful for making my move super easy! And also very affordable!I just used Gentle Giant a 2nd time, and James, Richard and Alen were are equally great as the first group of guys the 1st time. And Dominic also as well was amazing again. Thanks James, Richard and Alen for making my move so easy, efficient and well done! Thanks!

I was blown away by the professionalism and expertise of Houston B, Tanner S, and Paul. There aren't enough adjectives to describe them. They were careful, kind, professional, thorough, and efficient. Gentle, giant movers, especially these three young men, are whom I would recommend every time.

We had an excellent experience using Gentle Giant for a second time back in July (the first time we used them was in 2009). Rachel Welch was super friendly and very easy to work with ~ we had to change the order of operations for our move day, and this posed no problem whatsoever. The guys who helped my in-laws move items to and from their storage unit were terrific! Very professional and super accommodating. They were very understanding as first Habitat and then the local recycling center refused one of our larger items (a corner entertainment cabinet), so we ended up having it delivered back to our storage unit. I would highly recommend Gentle Giant and we will definitely use them again in the future!

Everyone from Gentle Giant, especially Alex Jansen and Sean who came to move everything were fantastic to work with, professional, and very respectful of not only our belongings but the environment where they were moving to and from. They pivoted with ease when we made last minute changes and went above and beyond to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. Well done!!
