About San Francisco

Situated in Northern California, the sunny city of San Francisco is known for its steep streets, Dungeness crabs, quirky neighborhoods, and rich history. Founded by Spanish colonists in 1766, the city experienced major growth during the California Gold Rush of 1849. The Rush brought with it a mass influx of people looking to strike it lucky, making San Francisco the largest city on the West Coast at the time. It was during this period that the denim jean was born, as Levi Strauss sought to design durable yet comfortable clothing for the Gold Rush miners. However, San Francisco’s rapid growth came to a startling halt following the infamous earthquake and fire of 1906 which saw three quarters of the city destroyed.

Over time, San Francisco has become a mega popular tourist destination with over 25 million visitors to the city each year. The Golden City boasts famous landmarks and attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, and its over 150-year-old cable car system. San Francisco is also home to unique neighborhoods like Haight-Ashbury, Marina District, North Beach, and Fisherman’s Wharf. Residents of Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood can enjoy a cup of clam chowder at one of the many waterfront restaurants while taking in the sunbathing seals of Pier 39.

I used Gentle Giant for a move between places in San Francisco, and everything went very smoothly. The team showed up with everything they needed to get the job done, took great care disassembling and packing the furniture, and were quick to unload at our new place. Nothing lost, nothing broken, completed on time and under budget. I'd use them again for sure.

I can't say enough good things about the gentle giants. When these guys say "satisfaction guaranteed", they really mean it. More than once during my move they went above and beyond. GG made my cross country move as painless as such an endeavor could be. Even though GG has definitely grown a lot since I first was the pink trucks around Boston in the 70's, it still feels like you are dealing with a family business.From the start everything was handled super professionally. From providing a detailed estimate, complete inventory and final removal of all the packing materials. Terrence who was assigned as my move coordinator, quickly took care of my every concern. David, the Boston crew chief showed up right on time and prepared a detailed inventory. Shortly after, his crew of 5 arrived and had everything packed and loaded by the end of the day. One painting was packed by mistake and I was immediately directed to Isaac in quality control, who drove his own car down to the GG facility, located it, and returned it to me the same day I called about it. Ken and his crew on the Oakland end showed up right on time and delivered everything in perfect order. I had a large couch meant for my son that could not be delivered on move-in day. Ken arranged to leave it until my son returned from his vacation. It took me over a month to get the couch picked up and everything on my end settled and unpacked. At that point, I again called Terrence and within a day, Ken and Ray Sean came back and took away the mountain of packing materials.Finally, the price. People told me GG was expensive. So, I checked with another shipper, M, just to see. M gave a quote about 20% below GG's. M's quote did not include the increased insurance coverage GG included and the estimate I received did not contain much information. In addition, M would be using a contract pick up crew for delivery in Oakland and there were some bad reviews online regarding delivery issues. However, in the end, to my delight, the final invoice from GG actually came in below M's. SO, if I ever have to move again - not planning on it! - I'll be calling the guys with the pink trucks.

Lupe and Anders were both excellent movers - being efficient and careful moving our belongings. Would recommend for any move big or small.

These guys packed, travelled 400 miles, unpacked, and were consistently kind, friendly, hard working and accommodating. I felt like my stuff was a mess but they completely took care of everything and cut my stress level by many orders of magnitude. Lupe, Isaiah and Chris were so sweet and easy to work with. We also had 3 great packers, and their names have slipped my mind now but they did a great job, everything arrived safely. Every time I’ve moved before this has been a nightmare, so I’m super grateful for Gentle Giant!

Matt and his crew helped my wife and I move from San Francisco to San Diego. We hired Gentle Giant to help us pack and load from our place in SF and unload everything at our new place in SD. We were thrilled with every aspect of the move, from start to finish. They even disassembled and reassembled furniture for us as needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to pick Gentle Giant again for our next move!!

My wife and I recently (end of May 2022) had Gentle Giant Moving Company ("Gentle Giant") move our belongings from our home to a Gentle Giant storage facility as the first phase of a two-phase move. We can't heap enough praise on Matt and his team. We have moved several times over the years, including multiple coast-to-coast moves. Gentle Giant was the most efficient, careful and customer friendly moving company that we've ever encountered. Not only did the moving team impress us, but the front office was also top notch in terms of efficiency, customer-friendliness, overall expertise and great customer service. We would not hesitate to use Gentle Giant for a future move.

This was our second time using Gentle Giant moving company. Exemplary “white glove” service from start to finish. The San Francisco team — Rayshawn, Taulupe, Isaiah and Chris — were experienced, efficient and friendly. The confident and knowledgeable manner in which they packed and loaded our high value inventory set our minds at ease. We need never search for another moving company — Gentle Giant cannot be surpassed.

Best moving company I've used and I move all the time! The manager Alex was very helpful!

I highly recommend Gentle Giants! Ray and Dominick were friendly, prompt, efficient, and very professional. They made a very stressful situation easy for me. I can't thank them enough!! They will be my first call for any future moves and i will be be telling anyone that asks how my move went how amazing they were!!

Our son, daughter in law and family just completed a move from the Peninsula to the East Bay. I could not image doing it without these guys. They were on time and never stopped working all day. Even when we would try to help pick things up or move things the team would thank us and take it out of our hands and say it is their job.They were meticulous in wrapping everything and making sure everything was picked up and safe.It was a LONG day, we went over our estimated time and they never complained or even slowed down.In a day when people don't want to work and find excuses for everything this team is a throw back of when hard work was something to be proud of.Could not recommend any higher.

Chris, the crew chief, and his team Isaiah and Dylan provided a service that went well above and beyond any other moving service I have worked with before. Chris, Isaiah, and Dylan understand that the moving process can be stressful and they have managed to make the entire process smooth, efficient, and stress free.It begins with Chris and his team giving a courtesy call to let us know their ETA and I can ensure you that they arrived on time.On the packing day, items are neatly packed and items that need protection are wrapped in heavy duty paper and/or wrapped in blankets to ensure there is no damage. They even disassembled large furniture items and reassembled it once in the final location. What I found to be the most impressive was during the packing day, the boxes were labelled and organized neatly within the apartment which still allowed us to use the apartment without obstruction.On the day of the move, it was extremely efficient. Chris, Isaiah, and Dylan were able to move out all our furniture and boxes quite quickly because of the planning the day before. These small details really made the process streamlined and stress free. Once again, because of the foresight and organization during the packing day , they were able to hustle and move in all the boxes to their assigned spaces and reassemble all the furniture quickly.At the end of the move, Chris walked us through each space and asked if anything needed to be moved or rearranged. Just another small detail which shows their level of service and care.Gentle Giant is by far the best moving company I have ever worked with. Chris, Isaiah, and Dylan were professional, considerate, and extremely hard working. I’m not entirely sure if you can ask for a specific team from Gentle Giant but I would highly recommend asking for Chris, Isiah, and Dylan.Best,Julian

Probably my new favorite moving company. The Gentle Giant team always kept me up to date and the movers arrived right within the 30minute window they gave.The actual move was amazing. They meticulously wrapped everything, securely transferred it, and unwrapped everything. Would definitely do business with them again.

We are San Francisco Realtors and Gentle Giant Moving Company was referred to us by a colleague. They were phenomenal! Our clients were selling their family home and moving items to the Seattle area. Our first point of contact was Patrick Donovan who was very responsive. We provided a list of the items the Sellers wanted moved + their photos in a G drive, and Gentle Giant provided a quote in a timely manner. Our Sellers then had a few questions regarding logistics, and Terrence Fitzpatrick was happy to talk with us on several occasions. He was very patient, explaining the process and logistics. On moving day, the movers arrived on time and dressed neatly, and proceeded to wrap the furniture in thick padded blankets, then pack in boxes. Also, we really appreciated that Gentle Giant had previously emailed pictures of the movers, so we'd know who to expect. The furniture arrived at its destination as scheduled and our clients were elated. We would definitely use Gentle Giant Moving Company again and highly recommend them as movers!

We stored our furniture for 6 months with Gentle Giant. They were easy to connect with and the rates were very reasonable. The main reason for this positive review is their excellent customer service. We had two small issues with the return of our furniture -- our media unit was broken slightly and we were missing a piece from a table. I sent over the information and they were quick with a response and a resolution. They offered to pay for the fix or send someone to fix it, and they quickly gave us the money to buy that missing piece. Things happen in moves, but to have a moving company with such great customer service just gives you peace of mind. 10/10 recommend and will be using this company again if we move.

Gentle Giant Movers have handled all my domestic moves since 1999, including my most recent move last month -- and they continue to set the standard for professionalism, kindness and quality. Lupe and his South San Francisco team went above and beyond to make sure all of our belongings made the move without any issues. My wife is a cooking instructor so have A LOT of ceramics, fine china and glassware - all which were unharmed.Famed American Composer John Williams was who referred me Gentle Giants originally (they were the only team he let move his prized Piano) and I equally endorse and recommend them for your own prized possessions!

Would definitely recommend for any future moving plans. Our original movers, 'different company' were unable to get the second half our our sofa up to the second floor living area, 5 guys spent an hour scratching their heads and finally gave up and left 2nd piece of sofa in the garage.Contacted Gentle Giant Moving company, they scheduled a crew of 3 people for the following weekend, which was about 5 weeks before anyone else i contacted could even think about scheduling our appointment. Crew of 3 arrived on time, wrapped the couch up in moving blankets, moved it below our 2nd floor balcony ,which leads into living area. They then put a large cardboard box beneath balcony, stood couch on end and lifted it onto box. 2 people then went to 2nd floor balcony and with the help of the remaining person on first floor, lifted and pulled the sofa right onto the balcony and into the living room. Probably took them 10 minutes total. Definitely knew what they were doing..

Gentle Giant has been outstanding several times for us and our most recent move was the most complicated. They are always responsive, customer-focused, positive, and the folks packing and moving have been skilled and easy to work with. With the potential for headaches and heartaches, Gentle Giant has always come through for us with great people and service.

Always great customer service and very responsible. I’ve used Gentle Giant for my storage and moving needs over the past few years and they’ve been pleasant to deal with. On the day of moving, they let me know when they were on their way and if they were running late. They promptly dealt with my HOA to provide evidence of insurance. Last year I had to access some personal items from my storage unit and they let me come onsite to comb through the vault where they had kept my items at no charge (but I tipped them anyway). Highly recommended!

Amazing company, they were very upfront and honest about limitations for the move we had in mind. Instead of ending the conversation since we obviously wouldn't be able to use their service, they gave us a lot of information to best help us in our situation. Incredibly professional, very sincere and genuinely interested in helping people with their moves.

I hired Gentle Giant to help move a top floor studio apartment to a top floor 1 bedroom -- no elevators and so many stairs! My boyfriend and I were impressed by Alex, Willis, and Jake not only in their agility in handling sharply curving San Francisco hallways, large heavy items, and 4 flights of stairs at each place, but with their professionalism and positive attitude throughout. The final cost was exactly what they quoted us, no surprises, everything made it through intact. I would definitely hire them again for moving in San Francisco!

We moved from the Bay Area to Southern California using Gentle Giant and they were outstanding!

Couldn't be happier that we used Gentle Giant! They were super informative, helpful, fast, and made our whole move much much easier on both ends. We packed most of our things ahead of time, but they were happy to help with the large/awkward/fragile items when they arrived. Everything was loaded and handled with extreme care, and everything arrived at our new home perfectly.

20 years ago, Gentle Giant Moving helped me move out of my crappy 1 bedroom apartment into a slightly less crapier studio apartment and they were amazing. Last week, they moved me and my family into our new 4 bedroom home in the heart of San Francisco. And both times, the teams were amazing to work with, courteous, respectful and really good at their jobs. They made the move incredibly easy and were flexible to the quirks and needs we had. I would strongly recommend them for any kind of move you have to go through.

We have moved so many times due to my husband’s career, and hands down, Gentle Giant Moving Company is by far the best! We had such a pleasant experience from beginning to end.

Please keep up the fantastic work!

Yesterday, I moved from the Back Bay (Boston) to Coolidge Corner (Brookline). The Gentle Giant team from Beverly took on the job, and they are obviously first rate professionals. Please note that GG is a very expensive option, but if your budget enables you to hire them, you'll see that it's worth it to have a completely highly competent, trustworthy, unflappable movers.

They are very transparent from the beginning about cost and time. Andrew was extremely helpful and willing to answer any questions. In fact, he even encouraged me to shop around to make sure I felt confident in my choice. They are full service and can do the packing if you choose but I did my own. On the day of the move, the movers arrived within expected time, did the loading and unloading swiftly. They set up the bed and put all my boxes and furniture as I labeled them. Before leaving, they clearly explained my bill and what to expect for the final charge. It has been a few days and I have to say, none of my packed things were damaged/broken and all the furniture is fine. Thank you guys! Truly appreciated your professionalism and for being extremely well mannered. It really helped during a stressful time.

Emily Vidal

18:45 02 Aug 21

These guys are absolutely top-notch. The experience was great from start to finish, all the way from our initial inquiry and booking with Rachael up until the very last (empty) box left the house. Every single person we interacted with was polite, professional, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was done the way we wanted it and that our possessions were well taken care of. I was apprehensive due to a less than perfect experience with a previous moving company, but my worries were quickly resolved when I saw how good these guys are at what they do. Shoutout to Orion, Shane, Liam, Brandon, Will, Noah and Sean- you guys are the real MVPs.

I’m on a tight budget but decided to go with GG, despite being a higher quote, because I knew they’d get the job done and they didn’t disappoint. Just can’t say enough good things about this company. This is the second time I’ve used GG and both times were head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you so much guys!

I recently had my dream couch delivered to my new East Bay studio apartment by Alex from Gentle Giant Moving Company. Gentle Giant is basically my new go-to for any and all future moving needs :). Alex has been moving furniture for many years, and you can certainly tell. I needed to get this large sofa up to the third floor in an old, elevator-less apartment building. This was a total walk-in-the-park for this seasoned mover. Alex was incredibly careful, efficient, and yes, “gentle.” He was super mindful of my hardwood floors and made sure to not drag/scratch anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks again, Alex!!

I scheduled a move with Gentle Giant on Jan 28th for Feb 19th. Today is Feb 15th, I reached out to confirm they are helping me move on the 19th and they said because I did not pay the deposit request, the soonest I can schedule is March 5th. I never received a deposit request and now I have to scramble for another mover. Totally screwed me!

I can't say more about gentle giant movers. they are exemplary. so quick, so courteous, on time, everything you could possibly want.I was in a difficult situation, needed new to me furniture delivered and through the kindness of Tom o'gowan Santa's elves delivered my furniture at no cost to me. it truly was an overwhelming Christmas miracle and I will never be able to thank them enough for their kindness.I hope that I am posting this on the right page so that they can see how appreciative I am. this is above and beyond a five-star experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs moving expertise.

Five out of five star experience with Gentle Giant! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I highly recommend them!! An especially big shout out to my moving team: Andrew, George, Scott and Sam!!!! They were a great team who packed, wrapped and moved the belongings in my 5-bedroom home out with such precision and great care. They worked in perfect unison and worked super hard to get it all done in a timely manner. Their vast experience was self-evident and their professionalism was simply top notch.

By far the best moving company I ever used. They were great: professional, careful, safe (especially considering COVID), and really friendly. The person that helped me plan on the phone was really helpful. Great experience from beginning to end. Strongly recommend choosing them.

The men Tom & Jerry were the most wonderful, professional gentle giants. Many many thanks!FIVE STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 🌟

Never got a chance to use this company. Made a call last Monday, spoke for half hour with rep explaining everything I needed for a company move, gave him our move date and he said there were 11 people available for that date. He asked me to send pictures, which I did first thing Tuesday morning. Never heard back from anyone, so I emailed again yesterday (Friday) and he sent an estimate with a request to pick another date. I explained, this is a business, I can't just change the move date and he said well no one is available now, we booked a bigger move. Not cool. Wasted my time and now I still have to find a mover, with a week less time to do so. 😡

We hired Gentle Giant for a classic difficult Somerville move with winding staircases and tight parking. They did it perfectly. They packed and moved all our belongings and were very careful with our stuff and our home, and did it all under budget.

We used them for a recent move into Boston! They were early, friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and a pleasure to work with! They took care of everything, including our bed! Worth every penny! Highly recommend! ✔️🚚💯

Gentle Giant made my multi-state move a breeze. From the time of the quote through adding last minute packers (who stayed late to get things ready) down to the ‘day of’ crew everything was smooth and easy. Extremely professional, careful, respectful and curteous plus very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Gentle Giant!

Today was the absolute BEST moving experience I’ve ever had! Within 2 hours, numerous heavy pieces of furniture in addition to tons of boxes were carefully loaded into our storage pod. The movers were very professional, courteous, and accommodating to all our needs. Thank you for a wonderful experience during a very stressful time! #GGApproved

Awful company to deal with. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste time with them. They won’t be able to give you any security or reliability in any specific terms. Such a heachache! They will surely make an already stressful moving experience more stressful. Moving is stressful in and of itself. Find a company that will ease the stress not gentle giants.

This company moved my mother yesterday from her house to an assisted living facility in Burien Washington. The moving crew was amazing. Very thorough, fast, and packed everything perfectly. I highly recommend them.

The crew we had today was amazing! We moved my mother from her house of 47 years to a new condo. The guys were very friendly, professional, respectful and just perfect. Furniture was old, items had meaning, and everything was handled with the utmost care. This company made this hard move very smooth. Thanks!

I would highly recommend this company to ANYONE who is looking to hire a moving company. I ran into a situation where I had to move almost immediately, and Gentle Giant helped me with EVERYTHING from start to finish.I received a phone call from them first thing in the morning after I had requested an estimate the night before. I had less than a week's notice to move my entire home. An appointment was made for someone to come out to my original home to take a look and provide me with an estimate.A man named Andrew, affiliated with the Philadelphia branch, came to my home the following morning at 9:00 a.m. (and called me an hour before arrival). He took thorough notes of what needed to be done, and I received my estimate that evening.Once I agreed to the estimate, which was VERY fair, I had to put down a $200 deposit.A woman called me the night before our move to make sure that everything was still good to go.The movers were scheduled to be at my house between 9 and 9:30, once again called an hour ahead of time to make sure that everything was still good to go, and showed up at 9:15.They moved everything SO incredibly quickly, it was unbelievable! They were finished unpacking my new home before 12:30!What I loved the most about the entire experience was that EVERYONE, from start to finish, was SO kind. They truly are gentle giants!I also have 3 family members who worked for them when they lived in the Philadelphia area, but they moved to Washington. Gentle Giants has a location in Washington, and they are still employees to this day. They (of course) used them when they moved, my aunt used them when she moved, and that's how I found them.THEY. ARE. THE. BEST! I will only ever use this company again in the future if/when we decide to move again!

Best packers and movers ever! Very professional and courteous. Made what seemed to us almost an impossible job so painless and pleasant.A BIG THANK YOU to our crew: Craig, Andrew, Tommy, Mac, Blake, Brandon, Erin and David! You did an amazing job and your moral support did not go unnoticed. We are so grateful and if we ever move again we will certainly choose Gentle Giant.

It doesn't get much better than Gentle Giant. It's hard enough moving but the people at Gentle Giant make it much easier. Communication was great (that's huge for us). Their team was courteous and professional. Great care was taken with all of our belongings including an antique mirror that is very fragile. They even protected the driveway and sidewalk from the loading ramp. I'll be recommending them to anyone I know that is moving.

Natalie Chatfield Atri

Best moving company ever! I hope we can stay put for a while now, but before deciding where to move, my husband knows, I first have to check if Gentle Giants can move us!

I have moved cross country and within Florida at least 8 times, thinking about moving was always stressful until I found gentle giant!!. I have use them twice and it has been great!. movers are professional and reliable. customer service is always there. it is a truly amazing company. I recommend it to everyone.

We needed to move very unexpectedly due to our landlord selling our condo! Our daughter has special needs and the move caused our entire family a great amount of stress!!! Gentle Giant helped us pack & move within 2 days! The team was very professional and even took the time to interact with my daughter!!! I HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giant to anyone moving!!!

Terrible experience with Gentle Giant in June, 2017. The crew loaded the truck with my furniture & belongings as well those of another customer. Several sentimental items were lost: things that can never be replaced. Also, damage to an antique clock & loss of the pendulum. Company has not taken responsibility.

Gentle Giant did a marvelous job in moving all of the furniture to our new house. They were careful, considerate even with the hard job of moving my old play-a piano. This was very difficult as we are still in a construction site and the piano had to be moved across rough ground to our walk out basement. Initially it was raining and could not be moved. They carefully placed in in the garage and then came back on a better day to make the move, which they made look easy. Each of the movers were very responsive t our needs.

We can’t say enough positive things about our recent move with Gentle Giant. Every member of the team was professional and upbeat. More importantly, they treated all of our possessions with great care and attention to detail. They went out of their way to provide excellent service...we highly recommend them!

Brandon Bergeron

11:58 27 Mar 18

The team at Gentle Giant was fantastic. I could not believe how efficiently they worked, moving all of our things quickly and carefully. They were genuinely caring, friendly and knew how to best handle all of the different items being moved. They even helped an elderly lady with a few of her things as she was moving them out of her apartment near ours. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone. I will use them for any moves in the future! It is rare today that a company lives up to their mission statement and “about” description on their website, but Gentle Giant absolutely does. I can't say enough good things about Gentle Giant movers.

Lauren Hunstad Conners

13:30 20 Mar 18

I have used Gentle Giant two times now for my moves and I cannot say enough good things. During my most recent move, the movers arrived right on time, expertly parked their truck, loaded all my boxes, perfectly wrapped my big furniture, kept my TVs safe, and had an amazing positive attitude the entire time. They practically ran from the truck to my apartment and back, I was so impressed. They kept my home safe by dropping a mat down so they wouldn't track in mud, they never hit any walls, and they cheerfully rearranged my furniture when I didn't love the layout. Their excellence was highlighted when later that day my appliances were delivered from the store by men who were cussing, complaining, damaged my wood floors, and ended up leaving my refrigerator on my first level after failing to get it up the stairs. Thank you so much to Gentle Giant for making this part of my moving day effortless. Cannot say enough good things and I'll be hiring them for every move I have in the future. You will not regret hiring this company.

Professional, courteous and absolute work horses! Can't say enough about this company. The crew chief Andrew and his 4 crew members were top notch.

Thank you Andrew and team!!!Steve & Amy NoelNewburyport to Gloucester 2/13/18

i used Gentle Giants Moving Company this past week for my move from Charlotte, NC to middle TN. Everyone i had the pleasure of dealing with was courteous and respectful. The movers packed my household items and then loaded everything onto the trucks. They hustled the entire time. Literally running to load and unload the truck at the new house. There was some miscommunication, but as soon as it came to light, the man in charge made sure to go over everything with me to ensure nothing more was not communicated. i HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giants and their crew. What a great group of people in the Charlotte office!!!

I had a phenomenal experience with Gentle Giant last month when they moved the entire contents of my 3 BR home from Massachusetts to Maine. Ed and Sudi at the office were great to work with throughout the planning stages. The most amazing part of the move was working with the moving team of Tomas, Paul and Darco. They were so efficient, so thoughtful, so respectful - honestly I feel like they treated me like family. They were especially kind to my two very anxious dogs. They arrived right on time and that team worked so hard and so well together - there was not a nick of damage to any of my possessions nor to either of the homes involved in the move. They went above and beyond and were so wonderful that I actually missed them after they left! I would definitely use this company again for any future moves and I give them the highest possible recommendation to anyone looking for a mover.

Laurie Weiss Strong

15:59 29 Oct 17

I cannot say enough great things about these men and how hard they worked to make everything seem seemless! Every part of my move, from packing to the move itself, was done with thought, care, smarts, and a great attitude. I was so stressed and they kept reassuring me that they had everything under control - and they were so right. Each item was packed and protected as if it were me doing the work. I never once felt like I needed to micro manage their work and who gets to have that confidence in others these days? The men were polite, friendly, clean, knowledgeable and, true to their name- Gentle. I know they are more expensive than many other moving companies but the money I paid was worth every penny! Highly recommend without any reservations!

Had a 100% problem-free experience with Gentle Giant moving from Charlotte to Raleigh. Jason took great care with booking my move. Evan, Matt, and Levi were AMAZING and treated my earthly belongings with care and respect. I've moved a lot of times and dealt with a lot of different movers and these guys were just spectacular. From reservation to execution- top notch.

Thanks so very much to Gary Newman and the other three members of my incredible Gentle Giant moving crew--Flaviu, Daniel and Tim--for their amazing efforts during my move from Newton to Westwood a couple of weeks ago. This team arrived at my house at 8:00 am right on time, the truck was packed, including everything going in to storage, by 9:30 am, and all furniture was set up in my new place ready to go by 10:30 am! Incredible! We used Gentle Giant when we moved to Newton 26 years ago. That move went so well that I didn't hesitate to call Gentle Giant this time around when we decided to move and you guys did not disappoint.I will be in touch within the year as we decide our more permanent housing situation. In the meantime, I know all of our treasures that Gentle Giant will be keeping in storage til then are in good hands. Again, thanks to all of you for making moving day--a day usually laden with stress and worry-- into a truly easy and productive day. Your performance was stellar and very much!Susan Camenker

These people are fantastic! Very professional, helpful and friendly! No sense of dismay at any issues and very willing to help any way they could. I had an unusual situation where we were moving 2 full homes to a home with an inlaw apartment so it was very involved. I am so thankful that I chose a Gentle Giant to move both of our households. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Praise the Lithuanians and their co-workers! Saul, Justinas, Deividas, Augutis, Codrin, Lea and Edward - and also the DC men! Thank you all for moving me. Overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we had - these fine men and women were so hard working, smart, courteous and helpful. I will move with no other. We would not have made it without them. The best!

17:00 23 Aug 17

Alex and his crew of Brandon and Alex were outstanding. This group were out of Nashua.They were so professional and helpful. Even when I asked them to move the same thing twice their answer was always "of course, no problem". I don't give 5 stars very often because nothing is perfect but these guys were excellent!!

Anthony Sorrentino

15:19 17 Aug 17

They were professional, on time, fast and didn't sit around and look they had nothing to do. I used them for their Crane services. I will say if you are thinking of hiring a crane company to move furniture or what not...then hire these guys! I can not say enough amazing things about how professional and easy the crane moving was. The operator Rudy and the two young guys he brought along were all so accommodating and made me feel everything was in good hands. I will be using them again in the future!

Mary Jane Peoples

14:45 14 Aug 17

Can't say enough about the great job these folks did! We had several very heavy but very fragile pieces that they moved with total professionalism. All of the staff were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Would hire them again without any hesitation!!

Meg Desfosses

23:35 12 Aug 17

Gentle Giants is such an appropriate name. Our items were packed meticulously. The team was not daunted by the size or weight of any items to move or the distance to travel from the truck to it's final spot. Everyone was very easy to work with, personable and friendly. They even let my 7 year old son help! I wouldn't hesitate to use the Gentle Giants again.

Jennifer Schlenske

01:16 25 Jul 17

I only needed two hours to move my couch to my daughter's house , and bring her couch to mine. Then they moved 5-6 boxes into my storage unit. They showed up right about when they had been scheduled for, and were courteous and treated my things with the utmost care. I would recommend them to anyone.

William Holden

13:14 20 Jul 17

I've moved 14 times in my life, and I can honestly say, Gentle Giant was the best experience of them all. The crew was professional, friendly, good sense of humor (considering yesterday 7/19/17 it was in the 90's) and so efficient the bill came in under the estimate. Nothing was damaged (another first for me).I cannot recommend this company enough.Thank you to the Somerville, MA Crew. You all did an fantastic job!

Taylor Cohen

20:19 19 Jul 17

I was really nervous about moving, especially with some family treasures. I was moving with my couch that was handmade by my grandpa, a desk my grandmother used (and I remember from her house), my grandmother's hope chest, and coffee table. Gentle Giant was wonderful with estimating how much moving would cost (they give you a low end pricing and a higher end pricing) and in helping me get ready for the move. The two gentlemen who moved my stuff were so nice and patient. They were on time and efficient! Thank you, Gentle Giant for helping me with this stressful time!

Vince Edwards

17:43 18 Jul 17

We recently used Gentle Giant at my business to help us move multiple pieces of heavy furniture and boxes up and down many flights of stairs. The three young men from GG were prompt, polite, cheerful and made the whole process a pleasure. We will certainly use them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Ellen Mayer

16:13 30 Jun 17

I can't really count how many times I have moved with Gentle Giant over the years but every time I am so grateful for how easy and stress free they make it.The guys are always competent, accommodating and delightful. The company clearly has created a culture of great respect for their employees - how nice for us!

15:22 15 Jun 17

Michael and his 2 associates were amazing. They went above and beyond in countless ways. To give just a small example of how: I had an antique dresser that was badly broken by a different moving company during a previous move. I pointed it out to the guys explaining that these 2 dressers were precious to me and extremely delicate. They promised to be extra careful with them and compassionately told me how sorry they were that these pieces had been damaged. When the move was finished, they asked for a room by room check. When we got to the room with these dressers, Michael floored me by explaining that not only were they extra careful with the dressers, but they also fixed them!!! Honestly they had been ruined beyond repair -- and now here they were somehow put back together almost as good as new...at least to the causual observer. INCREDIBLE!!! Who does that?!? I still cannot believe they fixed what the other company had destroyed in addition to doing a fantastic job with the regular move and a handful of other helpful extras. In addition, it got close to 90 degrees on my move day and both homes were without AC and involved lots of stairs...they never - not once - slowed down. Thanks you guys!! Highly recommend Gentle Giant!!!!!! (I moved from a 3 bedroom apartment with a packed basement to a 3 bedroom/3-floor house.)

Tara Peck

20:10 10 Jun 17

Wonderful experience with our move! Seth, Jay, and Tanner were incredible! Professional, efficient(!!), and we felt they were mindful of us staying within the initial quote despite our (my husband and my) underestimate of how many boxes/things we had to move. They brainstormed with us for a success solution and, were flexible when we had an unexpected drop off at a storage unit! Will definitely use them for our next move and, recommend them to friends/family!!

Melissa OBrien

21:56 04 Jun 17

Hello, since my parents don't have Facebook I'm writing this on behalf of them:Patrick (in the office) not only is the best contact person BUT he described Gentle Giant to perfectionHe complimented how well the company takes care of their employees (benefits etc.)He told me the price would be expensive BUT I would be well taken care of and would get a crew thatwould be friendly and courteous. WELL – I can’t even tell you how UNBELIEVABLE they were – I wish I could of tipped them $1,000.00 each.· John· Alex· Brian I enjoyed every one of these hard working, friendly, dedicated workers – All of them appreciating working for Gentle Giant. Thank you so much – to All of you. You/they were worth EVERY penny!! Paul and Heidi Ricci

We are extremely pleased with Gentle Giant (we used the one out of Lorton). We cannot begin to express how impressed we were with their speed moving us out of a 3rd floor walkup. They were very professional and ensured that everything was moved with extreme care. Thank you Andre, Dex, Dominique and Donny. You guys were amazing! We HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giant!!!

Jane Elizabeth

12:38 01 May 17

We recently moved from South Jersey to Baltimore. GG was easy to work with. Our crew was professional and hustled all day long. They carried our stuff up townhouse stairs, damaged nothing, and treated our belongings with care. I would recommend them to anyone!

Stephanie Coon

21:25 27 Apr 17

This is the 2nd time I’ve used Gentle Giant for moving services, and if I ever fine myself moving again, they’ll be my first choice (not that I ever want to move again!) My crew, Andre, Dominique, Stratton and Sergiu, arrived right at the time they said, even after struggling to figure out the numbering system of my apartment complex. I had everything packed and ready when they arrived, so we did a quick walk through so I could explain what had to move, and they were off and running – literally, I heard them running up and down the 3 flights of stairs. The crew had to deal with weather that wasn’t the greatest, as it started raining part of the way through the loading of the truck, but they didn’t let it phase them. When we arrived at my new house, they were ready to go. Another quick walk through to tell them where I wanted stuff and they were off and running again. Even when we ran into issues with my box springs going up the stairs, the team didn’t slow down. They finished my move in 5 hours! I thought for sure it would take longer than that, but I guess I shouldn’t have doubted the superior staff that Gentle Giant uses. They even gave ME a thank you card for using them again, and it’s still sitting on my coffee table.

Suzanne Buckley Klein

18:08 26 Apr 17

Just used GG for the 4th or 5th time and continue to be impressed. The crew (Mike, Eric, Don & Dex) were friendly, efficient, considerate, energetic, polite and patient. Nothing but good things to say and thankful for a pleasant experience helping my in-laws downsize into a retirement community.Thank you for all you do. See you next time.

We have used Gentle Giant for many years. They are the best moving company that we have ever seen. We have used teams to move all over this country and they have been excellent in all locations and all regards. They are an outstanding example of professionalism, politeness and efficiency. They are cost competitive and willing to be flexible about every aspect of moving. More than once they have come in under their original cost estimate, something no other movers have ever done. We love Gentle Giant! George & Cheryl Lilly

We had the most positive experience with Gentle Giant. They came on Thursday and finished all of our packing. They were so careful with everything, and it was nicely packed and labeled. Friday was the move day, and it was a breeze! We are planning to move again within the year, and we will definitely be using the Giants! Thank you for your politeness and over the top service!

Ann Simonelli

14:48 07 Apr 17

I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Gentle Giant, and especially the D.C team. This was my first interstate move, and just the thought of it was very overwhelming. But Gentle Giant are pros and made the whole process easy. From my first conversation with David R., to the home estimate walk through, to getting all of the details squared away with our Moving Coordinator Sudi R., I felt good in the days leading up to our move. With our old home on the market, we didn't have the luxury of packing ourselves, so we opted to have the Gentle Giant team pack for us. Everything was packed with extra care and very efficiently. I was amazed at how fast the packing team got everything boxed up and ready! I am so grateful for our Move Chief Octavian J.'s thoroughness, attention to details, and professionalism. And he was very pleasant to work with! (Give that guy a raise!) The move out and unload teams were speedy and very careful not to damage and walls, ceilings, doors, etc. And I should mention, that they were a very affordable option. It was overall a stress-free experience. Thanks Gentle Giant! You all are awesome!

I have just completed a move out of my old house, storage with Gentle Giants and then delivery of my belongings to my new address. What a fabulous company of incredibly courteous and efficient people. From my very first conversation to inquire about a possible move to the last signature of the delivery this company has exceeded my expectations. I heard about Gentle Giants from my daughter who heard about them from a friend. I have highly recommended this company to several friends and all of us have been completely satisfied beyond belief every single time. Hopefully I will not need to move again, but if I do............................I will definitely call Gentle Giants.Thank you to each and everyone associated with Gentle Giants!!!!

I've just completed my third move with Gentle Giant and once again they were top notch. We had to juggle dates because of a blizzard, but they did all the work we'd planned over two days in one because they sent extra men and trucks and just got it done - with the expertise they always have shown me in the past. Everything was packed so carefully there was no breakage (which I have experienced big time with another mover). Everyone was super polite, energetic, and patient upon delivery when even my piano had to be moved a couple of times to find its right spot.I've become such a great packer myself watching their videos that I could do this part time if I wanted to. Gotta love those bumpers.I hope to not move again for awhile, but I will call Gentle Giant if I do (Brooklyn team and Boston teams were terrific). Thanks, Guys.

Irecommend gentle Giants to anyone moving more than a toothbrush. They were positively excellent. Wrapped and very carefully removed all furniture carefully wrapped Antiques and all the rest. No dents in walls or breakage it all. They are also very accommodating on all requests. I highly recommend them.

Our company, Operation Outreach in Holliston, MA, recently used the services of Gentle Giant for the second time. Once again, we are THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED. We could not believe how quickly the crew handled everything. They were pleasant and completely courteous and professional throughout, and did not make one whoops in the process. Because they were so fast, the charges were considerably below the estimate, which made us VERY happy, since we are a non-profit literacy program. Thank you, Gentle Giant! You really know your stuff.

Thank you! Thank you! We called on short notice. You arrived in 2 hours during your busy season and moved heavy pieces of furniture from a second floor to a first floor apartment. Two other companies attempted this task and told us it was impossible due to the weight of the furniture and structure of the home. Two of your men completed it quickly and professionally. We are so thankful!

We have used Gentile Giant twice now for an out of state move in the last year, most recently July 2016. We had two different crews for the moves. They were the most polite and professional movers I have ever experienced. They work well together and are respectful of each other and take pride in their work. Each team member is Hard working always smiling , even after 14 hours and completely the job in the dark. I have moved about 5 times prior to moving with G.G. and never felt the need to rave about the experience.They truly are professional.

I would highly recommend Gentle Giant! I have used Gentle Giant for both a personal move (from city condo to suburban home) as well as several days of moving event items for a nonprofit i work for. Both moves went perfect and were seamless. It was truly a joy to work with Brent & Rich for both of these moves. They have such a positive attitude, take pride in their work, and go above and beyond to complete the job. I will definitely be working with Gentle Giant again!

I would highly recommend Gentle Giant to anyone who is thinking of moving or putting anything into storage. Everyone we encountered from the front office to the extremely strong and more than capable four man crew that they sent to us were professional, courteous and went above and beyond to make our time with them go as smoothly and quickly as possible. Joe (the foreman), London and brothers Bjorn & Sten were the best bunch of young men we could have hoped for and I would hire them again in a heartbeat for our next move! They completely sent my mind at ease from the moment they walked into the door and instantly got to work with the numerous tasks laid out before them. All done with smiles of their faces and zero complaints! I can't thank Gentle Giant enough for making an incredibly stressful time go easily as possible. Sincerely, Ida Vilkas and family :)

Used Gentle Giant for the 2nd time, last weekend. Just like our 1st move the crew was great. Mark & crew were very efficient, professional, friendly & I have to say it gentle with our belongings. I would definitely use them again & would not hesitate to recommend them to friends.

My family and I have been using Gentle Giant for over 10 years now. They never disappoint. This past Thursday they moved me out of my townhouse, help my things for 2 days, then moved me into my new home on Saturday. They were even better than I remembered! Will never use another moving company again.

Gentle Giant provided stupendous support to the Paralympic Experience this past Saturday. Efficient, professional, friendly, and good athletes as well! I think the Giants had fun trying Paralympic versions of basketball, softball, track rowing and golf. The kids had a good time with the Giants as well. Thanks GG!
