The move went flawlessly other than (uninsured) damage to one flimsily-made particleboard shelving unit. The crew had to hoist a sofa up onto a second-story balcony using only straps and muscle power, which was way beyond what I would have expected of them. (I didn’t know this would be necessary when I scheduled the move: they discovered when they arrived that the combination of hallway widths and ceiling heights made going in through the front impossible.)
FYI, I used GG because you did a good job for me on a cross-country move in 2015. Despite the damaged shelving unit, I would use GG again.
Moving during a pandemic is not an easy thing. It would be an easy thing to forego a move well into the future. However, I saw an opportunity to move to the city of San Francisco. And I researched how to move, etc. Some moving companies had zero information on mitigation to protect customers and employees. I chose Gentle Giant Moving company because you set expectations and operational procedures to safeguard your customers and employees. My moving experience was a good one.
Everyone involved today was amazing. Most importantly, your team was as wonderful as always.
Both the San Francisco crews and the Portland, OR crew were sensational.
Very caring, great attention to detail, and worked very hard with wonderful attitudes.
Rik, who supervised the Portland move (from your Seattle office) was truly exceptional.
The move in went far smoother than I imagined – thanks in large part to Rik’s professionalism and terrific sense of humor.
Thank you for a wonderful moving experience – truly an oxymoron.
We had a very positive experience with Gentle Giant. First, Mark was an exceptional crew leader and we were very happy that he was with us on both ends of the move. His calm nature and professionalism were certainly picked up by the five crew members who worked tirelessly, politely and professionally always. Gentle Giant hires good people who serve you (and us) well.
We have used Gentle Giant a number of times now and the experience is always the same; reliable, professional, reasonably priced and no surprises. We absolutely appreciate your approach to pricing and executing moves and the professionalism of your staff. Thank you once again for a delightful and seamless move experience.
The movers were professional and efficient and knew how to move furniture. They also listened to my needs on placement as well as possible.
Given the outbreak of COVID-19, and the shelter-in-place order put out by San Francisco and then California, my move was thrown into a great deal of disarray. Gentle Giants did three things super well; the were proactively and directly communicative, letting me know of the situation and the impact on their ability to perform the job, they were extremely flexible in helping me juggle scheduling around shutdowns that impacted the move, and they executed the packing and moving of my stuff with care and alacrity despite the surrounding conditions. I couldn’t have asked for better service.
The guys were fantastic. Great personalities, hard working, caring for the furniture. Couldn’t have had a better experience!
Our movers were extremely professional, friendly, and made moving easy. Our move was challenging due to our location but they did exceptionally well.
