With 40 years in the business and thousands of NYC moves under our belt, we know the requirements of local building management companies, as well as the unique needs of customers from New York City to the suburbs.

With multiple warehouses across our footprint Gentle Giant can meet your long or short term storage needs. When you store your belongings with Gentle Giant, we inventory, label, and store everything ourselves in self-contained crates that can be accessed only by Gentle Giant staff. We also have options for electronic inventories that include itemized photographs of each of your items.
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 Giant was great in all phases of my mother’s move to MA from NY. Flexible, professional, friendly, safe, courteous.
This was the easiest moving experience I have ever had. With Covid I was in a real bind and you guys were so helpful with me moving while out of town. You did a great job getting my stuff into the new place with no damage. I had a wonderful experience.
As always – the team showed up on time, worked hard and efficiently, were respectful of my time and my property. In this time of COVID – did everything they could to limit exposure to me and to the team.
We have been relying on Gentle Giant since our first move back in 1997. We have always been pleased with the service and especially the moving crew. They are always polite and helpful and really ease the stress of a move. We also appreciate all the work the office people do to meet our scheduling needs. Thank you all very much!
As always your guys were great to work with, efficient, good attitude, helpful. You are the only movers I use or recommend!
We packed up during the pandemic of 2020 and watched Simon and the crew pack the apartment up on Facetime, as we had moved and could not get back to NYC due to COVID. Excellent service! Jackie and Erin in the office were fantastic and most reassuring that all would go well, and it did! We highly recommend Gentle Giants!
All the crews were the most professional, caring and all around wonderful people! They made the job no-stress and easy on every level for us.
The entire experience with your team was fantastic. From the Sales person Erik, to the coordinated Carrie, the lead mover Ezra, and both the Brooklyn and Philly crews. All professional, kind, patient, and highly proficient!
Thank you Gentle Giant!!
The guys were great. Personable, smart, polite. They know their business, and cheerfully work hard.
I so appreciated everyone at Gentle Giant being detailed, flexible and adhering to the Covid guidelines. As a member of a vulnerable population who was trying to move during the pandemic, it really meant so much to me.
