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.

In searching for a moving company I could trust, I was impressed by the myriad of positive reviews for Gentle Giant. From the first call to the last box off the truck, the experience was extremely professional. Beyond that, the crew… Matt, Jared, & Zack truly cared about my belongings and treated them as if they were their own. They listened carefully to what I asked and bend over backwards to make it all happen. The flexibility the company demonstrated in a multi-stop move, is an example of the professional spirit this organization demonstrates. Without a doubt, the staff’s performance cements my commitment to them as a repeat customer. Thank you!

This time I called upon Gentle Giant (yes I am a repeat customer) to do an in-house moving job after a death in the family. The house needed a lot of cleaning out and moving of furniture. As expected the crew was excellent...professional, courteous, and a joy with whom to work. Matthew, Ronan, and Chloe did a wonderful job on the house, and accomplished everything we were hoping for. Gentle Giant comes to the rescue ! I cannot recommend this company highly enough !

I just had the BEST moving experience of my life. Called Gentle Giant and set a meeting with Greg several weeks before my move. He was on-time, did a walk through and had a quote to me the same day. Very reasonable. They followed up with me prior to the move and confirmed the crew would be at my house at 8am. The four gentleman arrived on time and got right down to business. Andrew, Aiden, Asa, and Luke were INCREDIBLE. Professional and careful. I have never seen a team work so efficiently. They had us moved out in record time and on our way to our new destination hours ahead of schedule. The same thing happened on the move in. They put everything where I needed it, cleaned up and were done in no time. I was blown away. What I expected to be a long and stressful day turned out to be great. And, they came in on budget, actually just under. This crew took such good care of us and our things. They even put up with my new puppy who wanted to get in their way the entire time. THANK YOU to the entire team at Gentle Giant.NOTE: This is an addition to my original review...2 years after using Gentle Giant the first time in June of 2022, we needed to move apartments this month (July 2024) and hired them again. Another WONDERFUL experience. Shane, Wesley, Chloe and Mark were on time, super professional, kind to my puppy, and done faster than we could have expected. Oh yes, and they came in $500 under the estimated budget!I cannot say enough good things about Gentle Giant. In this day and age, you don't find companies run this well with such great team members. I never do reviews, but felt I had to for this company.Don't go with another mover. This is the one!

This was our 2nd time using Gentle Giant movers, and we were absolutely delighted with excellent service from start to finish.To begin with, Peter and Teresa in the Office alway reply quickly to email or phone messages, and make it so easy to get a quote and to choose the moving date. The Portsmouth NH Giants crew of Brandon, Cam & Patrick did an outstanding job: Moving 10 doors down the hall to a different Apartment in the same Building, presents a unique opportunity to take shortcuts, eg by not wrapping or packing every single thing into boxes or plastic storage bins. We were not as prepared or packed as we should have been, and since the Moving crew moved so quickly, we quickly fell behind - until Brandon made a few simple suggestions - such as to load the Non-book Bookcase contents into their giant bin on wheels, then to immediately unpack the bin right into the Bookcase - and we got right back on track. (In fact, Brandon said from the beginning, we can empty this whole apartment in 3 hours.)They quickly emptied leftover stuff from closets and other spaces that we didn’t think we’d even GET to. In the end, they finished very near the 4hr minimum (again, only because our lack of preparation slowed them down). They were so pleasant to work with, that they are now my crew, and I will ask for them again next time.It’s our 2nd experience with Gentle Giant and once again, they hit it out of the park. The most important gold standard for Customer experience surveying includes the answers to 3 “Bottom Line” questions: Would you Brag About, Recommend and or Return to this Company (or person) for service? Our response to all 3 is a wholehearted “Heck, YES, Absolutely!” We already brag about and recommend Gentle Giant, and clearly we have and will use them again; we are all done looking for the just-right movers! Thank you so much for having such excellent Movers; what a great company.
