The crew were polite, professional and incredibly hard working. They moved heavy furniture again when we changed our minds, always responding 'of course, absolutely no problem at all'.
Negative Gentle Giant Moving Company Reviews
Nate Hopkins, Google
Extremely slow, unprofessional, and expensive moving company. They have difficulty following directions and reading instructions. It took them 9 hours to pack (not pack and unpack, just pack) a house.

Shawn gave me an over the phone estimate of 20-22k to move a 3,000 sqft home from NH to IN. I've had 3 moving companies come to my home and do visual estimates all 9k-5k.

During May 2017, the crew was friendly and moved at a fast pace. I later noticed my daughter’s high chair was damaged and her crib screws were stripped because a power tool was used.
