Margot Brazier

The Gentle Giant crew was great at communication, got to us in time and worked very professionally and fast. We were overwhelmed but once they started working, knew right away that everything would work out as planned. And it did: All of our furniture and boxes safely arrived at the new place and storage unit. Pricing was reasonable too.

Everything about this move went beautifully. Dominique was wonderful and the 3 gentlemen who did the actual move were terrific. I wholeheartedly recommend Gentle Giant in general and these individuals in particular. The men really made sure everything was placed as we needed it to be in the new home. Thoughtful and professional. Top notch.

Gentle Giant has been a great service from the first phone call for a quote. Our movers, Dex and Jimmy, were on-time, efficient, and professional, even finishing the unloading quicker than the estimate. Truly no complaints on any front. I would definitely hire GG's services again.

I’m someone who has always handled my own moves — including multiple cross-country relocations — so hiring a packing and moving company was completely outside my comfort zone. I was honestly nervous and a little apprehensive going into it. That said, every positive review I read beforehand turned out to be absolutely accurate. From the very beginning, Andrew in the office was incredibly reassuring. He took every call, answered every question, and was genuinely patient and kind throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed or dismissed, which made a huge difference for someone who likes to control every detail of a move. When moving day arrived, I had the three best packers and movers I could have asked for. They were careful, thoughtful, and professional from start to finish. They handled oddly shaped items, extremely fragile family heirlooms, and multiple pieces of glass furniture with such care and precision. I could tell they took real pride in what they were doing. They also stayed within the quoted budget, which I deeply appreciated. No surprises, no last-minute add-ons — just exactly what was promised. This was, without question, the easiest move I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Gentle Giant highly enough.

Paul and Mohamed move a heavy custom built armoire up 2 stories. They were very careful with the furniture and mindful of my house. They were intentional about preventing scratches on my hardwood floors and walls. I've used Gentle Giants for 6 years and they always do a great job whether they are moving my entire house or one heavy piece of furniture.
