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.

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!

Dominick and Ray showed up right on time, carried everything up a flight of stairs and some gravelly paths, and loaded their truck expertly and quickly. They unloaded even more quickly into my already stuffed storage unit. And they did it all with laughter and at the low end of the estimate. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

The team at Gentle Giant was effective, careful, and great to be around. The move out of my small apartment was handled so well - it really helped reduce my stress about the entire thing, and I'm so thankful for having the help. The team took their time to pack things well, and were professional and enjoyable to be around. I'm not worried about my items reaching their destination safely. Dominick, Justin, Jaden, and Cesar made sure that it was all taken care of, adjusted their plan when needed, and did what they needed to do in order to get me done and out of the house on the day I needed to be. The initial sales porches was great too - Gary was highly responsive and answered all my questions, and was able to deal with my more complex needs. Highly recommend.

Dominick, Jaden, and Caesar were great. They listened well and engaged with profession acumen. I was impressed. My home was left in the way it was before they arrived—picking up any trash etc. Thank you, guys! Stellar job!Also, my call with Terrance on the east coast before the move from SF to Sacramento and Lincoln was helpful and professional. All furniture was well protected as well.Thank you, Gentle Giants

We used Gentle Giant to pack and move items locally and to pack and ship items internationally. From the assessment of our items, to packing, moving, and delivery, everything went smoothly. Our sales person, moving coordinator, and all crews that packed, moved, and delivered our goods were all kind, considerate, and efficient. Their international partner for freight forwarding was fantastic. There was adequate communication all around. Everyone was responsive to questions. Pricing was competitive. We will absolutely use Gentle Giant again.
