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. 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.

We’ve moved all over the country and have had varying experiences with local moving companies. This crew was absolutely top notch. From the initial call with Dominic to the actual move day with Alex, Edgar, and Rokas - it was smooth as can be. They were really careful with our belongings and the communication was great all around. We have 2 more local moves coming up and we will definitely be using GG again. Thank you!

I used Gentle Giant for my last move 2 years ago so I decided to go with them again. And of course they did an amazing job. It was a fairly small move so they were in and out of both places in about 3 hours total. My movers, I think it was Randy and Arnas, were really nice and made sure everything was put where I wanted it to be. I was also in contact with Dominic G and Rachael W to set up my move and they were both great as well. I’d definitely recommend these guys to anyone that needs a reliable moving company!

This company did an absolutely fantastic job of moving my in-laws recently into an independent living community here in Charlotte. The team that came out (Joe Guns, Alex Pardy, Cleon Ware and Paul Moore) were professional, courteous and took great care with the moving. It made a stressful situation much easier. It all began when Michael Valle came out to meet with us and make all the arrangements for the move. Definitely recommend this company, we will call them for any moves we have in the future. Great experience!

We have moved several time in the past 50 or so years (including two long distance moves). I can say, without hesitation, that this was the smoothest move ever. The guys (Christian, Cleon, David, and Nathan), were efficient, professional, and personable. They took great care of our belongings. Everything arrived in perfect condition. After the move was just about finished, Christian, and the guys took time to do a couple of adjustments (move a chair, etc.). I would recommend Gentle Giant to anyone contemplating a move. P.S. The quote we received was spot on. Thanks, guys!!

This was the most seamless and positive moving experience I have ever had. Christain F and Paul M were excellent as they supported our family's move from Charlotte to Richmond. While packing and loading in Charlotte and then moving into the new home in Richmond, Christian and Paul were efficient yet attentive to every detail. I also appreciated their cheerful and professional demeanor. Moving can be stressful--especially with four children--and Christian and Paul made the experience very positive. Thank you!

Hands down one the best moving experiences we ever had. The crew Richard, Danius and Alen all showed up on time and were just awesome to work with. They were prompt, professional, and handled all of our stuff with great care. Made our move very smooth, would definitely use then again!

Dan and his crew went above and beyond to make sure our moving day went smoothly and stress free. His assistants handled all of our fragile items with care and had no problem disassembling and reassembling belongings like beds and desks.From the moment we requested a quote, Gentle Giant provided exceptional customer service. Rachel kept in touch leading up to the move to make sure we didn’t have any concerns. If your future move day is stressing you out and you don’t want to physically move all of your belongings yourself, trust that Gentle Giant can handle the day for you.God forbid if I have to move again, I’d choose Gentle Giant without any hesitation!

I have used many professional movers in my life (and other managed by myself and friends), and this experience with Gentle Giant was heads & shoulders above any others. Professional, courteous, fast (did not milk the clock), and just generally great. Crew leader Christian was clear and concise, and the other guys friendly and helpful (Cleon, Matthew, and Santiago). In setting up the move, Michael and Rachel were communicative and first class. Any future moves or recommendations to friends will go to GG first.

Packing, loading, and moving were excellent. Crew arrived on time to pack and the next day to move, and delivered our stuff on time the next day. I’ve opened every box and not a single item was damaged. Some of the packing protection was incredible for small and/fragile items. This is the sixth or seventh time I’ve needed a company to move me, and the first time I haven’t used one of the big national company - Gentle Giant Moving Company surpasses them in every way, including price. Our crew, over the course of three days was Christian, Jevon, Aaron, Anderson, Richard, James, Andre, Arnas, and Rocas. They were nice, friendly, helpful, skilled, and just damn good at their jobs. I wholeheartedly recommend Gentle Giant Moving Company.
