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.

I will definitely use Gentle Giant again! Jevon, Matt, and Thomas helped me moved my furniture into my storage unit. They called beforehand to ask if it was okay that they arrived earlier and I was expecting only two people and got three, which made the move even faster! They were professional and courteous and I will reach out when it is time for me to move my items in a new apartment!

The gentle giant crew was outstanding. Great personal service ensuring everything was placed correctly. Prompt, efficient, courteous, organized and clean. Price came in as estimated. Highly recommend as my previous experience with a different moving company was a nightmare.

Richard Wieber and Alex Pardy were wonderful to work with! My other moving company cancelled on me last minute (All My Sons) at 4pm on a Friday evening and I was suppose to move Saturday morning. I called Gentle Giant and talked to Matt Coates and he was so understanding and fit me right in the schedule. They literally saved me!!!! Thank you for being so empathetic. Call them and use their services!!!!

Alex, Randy, and Matt were amazing! They went above and beyond, helping with things they weren’t required to do so, and were so kind/personable. They were so professional and easy to work with. The entire booking process was seamless, organized, and professional. I’d recommend the company, and these 3 guys specifically to anyone!

Moving is on my top 5 list of things I hate, but Alex P, Edgar H, and Christian made my experience a pleasant one! The team was on time, thorough, and very careful with my belongings. They checked in with me several times throughout the process to ensure that everything was the way I wanted it; I’m extremely pleased with my move.

Had the best experience with Gentle Giant moving! Talon, JeVon, and Thomas were so professional, kind, and thoughtful when it came to moving and packing my belongings! They took their time to answer any questions I had and were smiling and upbeat during the whole moving process. I would definitely recommend Gentle Giant and if anyone gets Talon, JeVon, and Thomas you’re going to have one easy stress free move! Thank you so much for your help!! Rachel was also awesome and helped me step by step on what to expect on my moving day and checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was correct! This was the easiest moving process ever!

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!
