About Philadelphia

Healthiest Philadelphia Movers Philly Business Journal

Philadelphia, the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was founded in 1682 and is one of

the oldest municipalities in the United States. Playing a key role in the American Revolution, Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was signed and even served as the US Capital for a brief period. During the industrial revolution many early immigrants to Philadelphia were from Germany and Ireland. Greater Philadelphia is home to numerous universities and colleges that have distinguished it as a major hub for higher education.

The Schuylkill River flows through Philadelphia and you’ll find the famous and historical Boathouse Row on the east bank of the river. The Boathouse Row consists of a row of 15 different boathouses where rowing clubs train and compete. Gentle Giant was founded by college rowers in 1980 and is proud to recruit many of our employees from the college rowing programs in and around Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Museum of Art also lies along the Schuylkill River where you will find the famous “Rocky Steps” and bronze statue of Rocky Balboa. All of this sits within Fairmount Park, which when combined with the Wissahickon Valley Park makes up the largest urban park in America.

100% Crew Guarantee

Gentle Giant promises to deliver exceptional service to every customer, guaranteed (100% Crew Guarantee). Contact us anytime if you believe we have performed otherwise.

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!

Andrew Rozzi

Philadelphia Regional Manager
Andrew Rozzi has been a Giant leader since 2003, when he began as a mover at Gentle Giant's Boston HQ. Over the years, he has taken on many different roles in the company, and has excelled in every one. 'I was working at an insurance company after college and not loving it. A couple of rugby teammates mentioned how great it was working at GG. 19 years and three regions later, I'm still loving it!'

After being a mentor to new Giants in Boston for several years, Andrew was tapped to be the second-in-command of our Washington, DC team. After helping to successfully develop the DC team, he was selected as the top choice to launch the Philadelphia office, which opened in 2015. He has also been a key player in Gentle Giant’s national partnership with Move For Hunger, a non-profit organization that works with moving companies to collect non-perishable food items to be delivered to food banks all across North America.

Andrew is a graduate of Northeastern University where he majored in English Lit. Outside of work, he enjoys playing rugby and attending games with his son, staying in shape through CrossFit, and spending time with his family.

Philadelphia Assistant Regional Manager
When Slaven joined Gentle Giant in December of 2007, he was met with heavy furniture and three feet of snow! "It was love at first box run," Slaven recalls of his GG initiation.

Now the Assistant Regional Manager in Philadelphia, Slaven has come a long way since starting with Gentle Giant in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A Temple University graduate, Slaven’s favorite part of Gentle Giant is working with his fellow colleagues who share in the rewarding experience and lifestyle of a professional mover. "You sweat together, break bread together, and triumph together. There is nothing like it."

Outside of moving, Slaven enjoys football, basketball, wrestling, MMA, track and field, soccer and volleyball. He adores all things super heroes and comic books. Another passion he has is BBQ, cooked over an open flame, with charcoal - not propane!

My move was a smooth experience. Scott, Javier and Chris arrived on time and worked quickly. The 3rd floor move out didn’t phase them! They secured fragile items and also reassembled the ones disassembled to ensure a safe transport. I was very happy with my results. Also grateful for the flexibility with scheduling and rescheduling my move out date when needed. Dominique patiently answered all my questions about the process. I’d highly recommended if you have a move coming up!

The whole crew, from our initial call to moving day, was friendly, professional, and accommodating. This was my first time using a moving service, and I was amazed at how quick and seamless the process was. I'll definitely recommend Gentle Giant to friends in the area moving forward.

We found Gentle Giant through online reviews while looking for movers for a local move. Having had terrible experiences with movers in the past, we wanted to avoid companies that would give us bad service. The estimate process was simple and accurate, using cell phone videos we got an estimate in a couple of days. The packing and moving process was above and beyond, Scott and his crew carefully disassembled our furniture and moved everything to the new house. Not a single item was broken. All of this was done while the crew maintained an amazing attitude, smiling and joking but staying on task. Moving is a stressful project but these guys made it as painless as possible. Finally, our move came in below estimate! Gentile Giant was amazingly professional service at a very reasonable cost. We will use them for all our future moves!!!

Scott and his team were fantastic! This move was by far the least stressful I have ever had, and I cannot imagine moving again without their help. Incredibly professional and thorough.

I worked with Gentle Giant in a previous move and went back again because of the quality service. Scott, James, Mikyas, Kevin and Javier were incredibly polite, professional, pleasant, efficient, and respectful. They even remembered to wish my girlfriend a happy birthday! I continue to recommend Gentle Giant and will use its services again in the future!

We had an amazing experience with Gentle Giant movers today. The team was punctual, professional, and worked with incredible efficiency. They handled all of our belongings with care, from fragile items to heavy furniture, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Their positive attitude and attention to detail made a stressful day so much easier for us. I can’t recommend Gentle Giant enough—fantastic service from start to finish!

We just used Gentle Giant for a move from NE Philly to outside the city. They were absolutely fantastic. Professional, courteous, and efficient. They came in well under the estimated time for the move and did it all without seeming to rush. They handled everything with care and we have found nothing broken. This was a 4 bedroom house move and they did amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking to move, well worth the cost.

George and his team from Gentle Giant have moved me four times (!!) in the past two years - from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts and back again, and within Pennsylvania as well. Each time George's teams have moved me, they have done an outstanding job. I only have positive things to say about each and every person I have had contact with at Gentle Giant. Dominique (in PA) and Jackie (in MA) are tremendous, competent, smart, and responsive Move Coordinators. Their teams (Alin & Benas, Jhalil & Scott; Andrew & Vincent, Matt & Sarunas, and most recently Jang & Michael) are ALL incredibly professional, hard-working, careful, steady, kind, and competent. In a nutshell, it has been a great privilege being taken care of by such wonderful, smart, caring people during my stressful moves. George, you have done an incredible job of creating a team of quintessential professionals. Thank you!!

PHENOMENAL!!!! I normally hate moving but Gentle Giants made my move seamless and painless. They moved everything super quickly yet carefully, not a single item of mine was damaged at the end. The movers were also super kind people. Pricing was excellent for truly above and beyond service. Cannot recommend enough!
