About New Hampshire

Portsmouth, New Hampshire is a historic seaport and popular tourist destination. The city sits along the Piscataqua River and its proximity to the water meant it was once one of the nation’s busiest ports and shipbuilding cities. In 1800 the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was established. This was the country’s first naval shipyard and brought a lot of wealth to the city. Portsmouth’s wealth manifested itself in stunning, expensive architecture. For example, there are many Colonial, Georgian, and Federal style houses sprinkled throughout the city’s streets. These houses have since been converted into various museums and attract a large number of summer tourists.

Today we had three really great guys move us just a few miles. I'm terrible with remembering names so can't help with that! We didn't have a ton of things but the things we needed help with were all either really awkward or heavy to move. Too much for us.They were quick, thoughtful and did the move in the rain. Our move to location does not have a paved driveway. They thoughtfully ensured not a speck of mud was tracked into the house regardless.Absolutely amazing!In fact all of my contacts with the company were great. I wasn't able to nail down a move date for months, no problem! I wasn't 100% sure what would be in the load. Also no problem as long as I got as close as I could.Did I spend some money to get this done? I did! Worth every penny. Just one of the larger items they moved with care & expertise would have surely injured one of us.

Gentle Giant Moving Company did an excellent job moving my daughter from one apartment to another in the same building. The movers, Shane and Aiden were experienced, professional, efficient and made the move go very smoothly.Bambi and Theresa in the office planning and coordinating the move were excellent. I highly recommend Gentle Giant Moving Company!

I work in an apartment community located in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. Over the years I have seen tens if not hundreds of different movers assisting our residents whether its moving in, moving out, or transferring to a larger apartment within our community. Gentle Giant out of Portsmouth is the #1 moving company we recommend to all of our residents and soon to be residents. Not only are they timely, but they truly are "gentle" with our residents items. I've seen so many movers "milk the clock" and take their sweet time moving in residents which results in higher costs for the residents. This is not the case with Gentle Giant, they hustle and get the move in/out very quickly and proficiently. They also follow our communities move in/move out requirements and instructions without a fuss. They are extremely professional and we always look forward to seeing their name on our resident moving letters since we know they will get the job done without any issues.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Upfront with pricing and had flexibility to get me in with short notice. Communication all the way through and I cannot say enough about the crew. Chris, Dante and Jake are magic workers and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for movers.

Recently, my wife and I relocated from Portland, Maine to Bowdoin, Maine, and we had the absolute pleasure of working with Gentle Giant Moving Company for our move. From the onset, the team of four men stood out with their exceptional communication skills, ensuring we were always in the loop and comfortable with each step of the process. Their easy-going nature made the entire experience stress-free, even in moments that typically induce anxiety during moves.What truly impressed us was their remarkable speed without sacrificing any aspect of professionalism. Each member showcased their expertise by handling our belongings with utmost care and precision, ensuring everything arrived in pristine condition. Their dedication and commitment were evident from start to finish. We couldn't be more grateful for the seamless transition they provided us. If you're seeking a moving team that combines efficiency with professionalism, look no further than Gentle Giant Moving Company. Thank you Andrew, Brandon, Matt, and Zach for helping us!

Dynamic DuoI’m taking the time to write this review because it is not often you can sing the praises of a moving company and their staff. Seamless, from the moment I got my quote from Peter, the confirmation and follow up by Teresa, and icing on the cake two amazing moving guys. Nick and Rolando were prompt, courteous, and efficiently managed their time during the entire moving process from location to location to location!

Jim and his crew took amazing care of us. They came the first day and packed everything quickly and carefully. They communicated expectations, and on the second day safely moved everything to the new home. This is the 4th time Gentle Giant has moved me and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

This is my second move with Gentle Giant. Once again, the whole experience was professional and prompt. Peter did a great job turning around the detailed quote. Andrew, Austin, Brandon, and Zach were very knowledgeable, careful, and efficient. They moved our 100-year-old piano flawlessly. The entire Giant crew was a real pleasure to work with

Outstanding. I would never use another moving other than these folks. Gentle Giant's quote was for 7 to 9 hours, and they did the job in 8; all their competitors quoted 3 to 4 hours, with less people. Their estimate was spot on while everyone else underbid or hid fees and surcharges in fine print.Their website is easy to use, and has the most in depth estimate generator I have ever seen. You can build a digital inventory of all the rooms in your home, and what big items you are taking from there. Very intuitive.The day of the move went as smoothly as possible. Showed up right on time, scouted the place out, and went right to work. The three guys were all fantastic. Friendly, effiecient, always asking questions, and not wasting any movement or motion. They never stopped! All of our furniture was expertly wrapped and covered to a degree I've never had with other movers, and any furniture that needed disassembly was quickly handled. Unloading went just as smoothly. They reassembled furniture for us, and moved heavy items around a few times until they were in the perfect spot, and didn't just dump it all asap to scram.If you want a solid team on the ground, with an expert support staff in the office, then this is the company for you. Can't say enough good things.

We had a local New Hampshire move from an apartment to a home and from start to finish the Gentle Giant team was top notch. Pricing is terrific value and our team of movers Matt, Andrew and Shane were right on time and worked non stop until the move was complete at our house. The packing techniques utilized were the best I have seen and we have moved 3 times in the past six years. No damage and not a scratch anywhere. The team was a pleasure to work with, they were attentive and really cared about the move. Highly recommend. Teresa at head office responded immediately to any of my questions.🙏

Gentle Giant was efficient, friendly, and professional. They moved our piano and arrived on time and prepared. It was a pleasure working with the gentleman who scheduled the move and the men who moved our piano for us. Everything was straightforward, smooth and prompt! We’ll use GG again and recommend to friends. A+! Pat and London were delights!
