Recent reviews
The movers were very friendly, efficient and handled my furniture with care. Communication with the coordinators in the office was really good. The final charge ended up being less than the quote.
Moving is never fun, but Gentle Giant took a lot of pain out of it for us. The crew were polite, professional and incredibly hard working. The bill was nearly $1000 less than the low end of their estimate.

The guys from gentle giant were a very good choice. When they moved our furniture it was all wrapped and well protected. On the pickup and drop off they were very careful not to damage anything including walls and corners.

An over-the-phone estimate was 20-22k to move a 3,000 sqft home, while three visual estimates from other companies were 5k-9k.

During May of 2017 I used Gentle Giant for my first move. The crew was friendly, and they moved at a fast pace. While they unloaded the truck at my new residence, I noticed my daughters high chair was damaged.
