I contacted Gentle Giant for an estimate to move a few pieces of furniture (2 big leather sofas, a tufted leather ottoman, recliner, mattress, boxspring and two bedroom bureaus). Patrick, the sales representative, helped me with an estimate. He was professional, responsive and very friendly. GG was not the cheapest estimate but certainly fair and close to the other companies. My Husband and I had heard GG was very reputable so we hired them. The day of the move Daniel and Simon were the two gentlemen from GG that took care of moving all of our furniture. They were terrific from start to finish!! We got a call from them telling us they were 30 minutes away. They arrived exactly at the time that we were slotted. Simon and Daniel were extremely professional, efficient and handled all of our furniture with great care!! They made the move so easy and painless for us. We have had 8 moves over the years with professional movers. Gentle Giant by far was the best moving company we have used! Daniel and Simon, thank you for all of your help!! Beth M.

This was one of the best experiences with a business I've ever had - I will never use a different company. Krystal and Rachael stayed diligent and patient getting my move prepared as we worked to ensure I had a fair rate and proper COIs for both the building I was leaving as well as moving into. Communicative & Patient: Before my move we had so many small details to prep related to my building's COI needs. Rachael and Krystal always responded in less than an hour and would quickly be available for calls if needed. On moving day, my movers gave me peace of mind by sending text and gave me a call when on their way - keeping me posted about parking, updates and any expected delays. Efficient, Trustworthy, Expert Movers All three of three of my movers were dedicated, trustworthy, strong and experienced - Patiently helping me wrap and protect my most important belongings, strategizing on getting big items in and out of small entryways. I moved from the UWS of Manhattan to Bronxville NY. I will never use another moving company!

I called two other moving companies before I found Gentle Giant, ones I have seen multiple times around my area. I was able to get in touch with a person immediately, spoke to Rob and he was pleasant and very thorough with the estimate provided. I was a little hesitant about them with the higher pricing, but I was oh so glad I went with them. I read a few reviews before I made the call and they were really nice to deal with. Rachel, the coordinator was helpful and three movers that were provided were stellar. This is the first time I have used a moving company, but I couldn't have been more happy about the service. The movers were efficient, clear on what they needed from us, protected all the delicate and bigger items. They were very accommodating, it was two state move and multiple stops. It went so smooth, I was waiting for the shoe to drop, but it didn't. I would use them everytime, if I had to, and would recommend their services.

  • Lynde Firman

This was my second time using Gentle Giant and I would use you again in a second. The Brooklyn team led by Ezra exhibited professionalism, care, respect and were friendly and helpful. Ezra arrived on time and he and his crew worked quickly and tirelessly in-spite of the cold and elevator problems which required using the stairs part of the time. Great care was taken moving the furniture and not one item was damaged. The crew maintained COVID guidelines and that proved to be a challenge that Ezra and the team took in their stride. I can’t begin to say enough about this positive experience with these true gentlemen. This is customer service at its best. No wonder you have the reputation you do! Thank you!

  • Chloe Lew

I’ve used Gentle Giant twice and both times I was amazed by their professionalism and thoroughness. Moving can be very stressful, particularly when you are dealing with highly meaningful and valuable items. Like many, it’s something I dread. Most recently, I had a last minute move. I was able to secure a team within 24 hours. They made the experience a breeze from beginning to end and were incredibly accommodating when my needs essentially doubled on site. I will use them every time I have to move or store big items and could not recommend them more. Many thanks to Luka, Sean and the team.

  • susan g

Highly recommend!! I have used Gentle Giant six times in the NYC area from 2010 to 2022 from easy moves to complex three part moves and packing. Each time everyone was responsive, professional, flexible, understanding, timely, you name it. Unmatched in the NYC area. May not be the cheapest (haven’t compared recently) but I’ve never met a more reliable professional pleasant moving company with normal people. The guys stay on for years and I’ve had a few repeats. I’ve used big name movers cross country several times and they cannot even compare. Thank you!!

Gentle Giant Moving Company has top notch qualities- reasonably priced, efficient, and personable. I believe they underestimated how much furniture could fit in my garage but they did not complain and they got it done in a reasonable amount of time. I would normally not allow someone, other than myself or family, to move my antiques and fine china, but for a small fee, they wrapped everything up perfectly and it arrived at my new home without a scratch. I would recommend Gentle Giant Moving to family, friends and anyone else in need of a moving service!

  • Will Griggs

After Gentle Giant handled a family member's out of state move and seeing their care and professional approach I booked GG to handle a recent office move. We had to move the date a couple of times but Andrew and Rachel were on point every step of the way to make sure everything was smooth on moving day. The move itself was a great experience and Ezra, Simon and the whole crew know what they are doing! We had lots of art, mirrors and delicate items and they treated our belongings with the utmost care. Thank you! Highly recommend.

  • bobbi moran

Start to finish Gentle Giant was incredible! Patrick and Terrence could not have been more helpful answering my questions, reviewing my move plan and making sure I was set with everything I needed for our move date. Thank you for your professionalism and care. The detail with which the logistics were managed was impeccable. The movers were phenomenal as well. Each of them worked tirelessly to ensure our belongings were cared for and that we were satisfied with the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • Kate Stocker

I can't stress enough how great Gentle Giant is. I just moved today into my new home, and the GG team was TERRIFIC: on time, really nice, careful and mindful of all my things. I've used GG for every move I've had since 2011, and I have never EVER been disappointed. In addition, I had to reschedule this move multiple times for a couple of reasons. The customer service team is wildly flexible and understanding. I truly don't hope I'm moving any time soon, but if I do, it's Gentle Giant all the way!

  • Lauren Bruker

I used Gentle Giant to move a few pieces of antique furniture out of my grandmothers co-op in NYC and out to the suburbs. They were so helpful and easy to work with, from getting a quote, scheduling the move, assuring the building of COVID protocols and actually executing the move. The guys showed up on time and got everything done super quickly without damaging anything. And their overall price for this project was way cheaper than other NY movers. Absolutely will use again.

  • Lisa Aulet

We have used Gentle Giant for multiple moves, both within and interstate, and for storage. They have given us excellent service every time and took good care of our belongings in storage. Their move organizers do a terrific job, they are incredibly responsive and the crew that does the moving are well trained and have done a great job for us on every move. They also show up on time! Our last move was in July 2022 and they were fantastic. Thank you Gentle Giant!

  • Claudine Cohick

Above and beyond! GG worked with us on a long distance move and we couldn't be happier with all that they did for us. We had so many things unpacked and needing to be disassembled and they took care of all of it. Then on the other end, the team did a beautiful job putting everything into the right place, reassembling everything beautifully,.nothing missing, nothing broken. Everyone of both teams is polite and hard working. What a pleasure to work with GG!

  • James Harder

'Twas a lucky day finding Gentle Giant to make our cross-country move! We lack sufficient superlatives to describe our utter satisfaction with this white glove service. From inception through completion of this enormous project––delicate, high value cargo, including a 7' Steinway (none of which received a scratch!)––every person was professional, kind, caring, meticulous––in short, EXEMPLARY. Kudos and gratitude!

  • Marc Wirstrom

Gentle Giant is an amazing moving company and I highly recommend it to anyone moving locally or across the US. I had a complicated move that had 2 cities of origin, 2 destinations and some time needed in storage. Both the customer service / move coordinators and the movers were responsive, courteous and professional. Special shout-out to Tony and his crew in New York and the Fort Lauderdale team!

  • Dominique Essig

This was absolutely the best moving experience ever! Tony and crew were amazing! I told my husband if we have to move again, we are only moving with Gentle Giants. They were friendly, kind, considerate- and made sure everything was put together and the job was done right. Nothing broke, not even a scratch. It was amazing and I have to tell you- use this company, you will be so happy you did.

  • Arden Moad

Everyone with Gentle Giants went above and beyond to make sure my move from Oklahoma to NYC went smoothly. Communication was excellent and all of my things were delivered with no damage and well-organized! I would absolutely use Gentle Giants again for a move of any size as their whole team was incredibly professional, helpful, and friendly. They are well worth the money!!

  • Eric Kang

I've used Gentle Giant twice now for moves in the city — everyone I speak to or meet has been pleasant and helpful and just good people. The rates are reasonable (especially since I've had to move a piano as part of my package), and it's just nice to be in good hands and have some peace of mind on what can be very stressful days.

  • Sarah Lannom

Best moving company ever—I've used them three times. They're great at communicating clearly and quickly before the day of the move, and their team of movers are friendly, professional, and very skilled at solving problems, e.g. moving furniture through tight spaces and around various obstacles. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

  • milagros roman

All of the above I'm so happy my sister found Gentle Giant for me these guy's were amazing friendly Stefan, Amari, Garfield I definitely recommend this moving company and in the future if I plan to move again I will definitely use them again. So very satisfied with them. They get 10 stars each. God bless them all. …

  • Francine R Berkley

Moving is daunting, but Gentle Giants made the process easier because of the personal touch. I chose them because of their reputation of being professional, but their kindness, patience and responsiveness got me through 2 moves. Thank you, Tony, Jay and your crew, for helping me settle into my new home.

  • Sean McCullough

Gentle Giant hires amazing people - who always have the most polite demeanor (so helpful during a time when a move is creating stress for the customers). The staff is very generous and gentle… I’m a loyal customer now on my 4th move with them. From quote to collect - it’s a really positive experience.

  • Paula Krebs

Clay and his team were extremely professional. They were helpful and cheery and courteous, and they made sure everything was just right before they left. They finished faster than the estimated time but didn’t rush at all. I could not have asked for a more pleasant moving experience.

  • Jessica Gilbert

Our movers were Dusan, Janko, and Luka. They were fantastic and helped make a stressful day more manageable. They were careful with all of our things and made sure to place furniture as we requested. They were also very pleasant. We would highly recommend them.

  • Richard L

Second move by Gentle Giant. Experts at packing and protecting furniture, kitchen stuff and unique items. Quality control and customer service are important to this company. Plus the company offers insurance others do not. We will use Gentle Giant again.

  • Jerilyn M. Libby

I highly recommend using Gentle Giant for your next move. My amazing move-in crew (led by Ezra) unloaded incredibly quickly while also carefully making sure items were put in the right place and nothing was damaged. I cannot say enough good

  • Katherine Bernhardt

I had an awesome moving experience with Gentle Giant. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Absolutely worth it. I moved from a 5th floor walkup (where I'd lived for seven years, lots of stuff including my piano and a storage bed) to a

From beginning to end this was the most professional and organized move I've had. Everyone made me feel that when the day came for the move there wouldn't be any problems (there wasn't). Erik and Dominic in sales were quick to respond and

Tony, Miles and Mark made our move happen. They packed up our entire apartment - from clothes, dishes and toiletries to furniture and a giant elliptical machine - and moved it from Brooklyn to the Catkills. They were incredibly thorough,

I swear by Gentle Giants. I have used them for multiple moves within and across state lines and would never go with anyone else. They are courteous, professional, efficient, and careful with your stuff. You do pay a bit of a premium but,

Amazing from start to finish. Pat was amazing answering all of my questions (which there were a lot of) from helping me change the date of my move to helping me decide what time to book my flight after my move, he went above and beyond!

  • Tanya Hayes

This is perhaps the 5th move I've done with GG this year alone, and each time they are absolutely the best. Courteous and energetic crew, super careful with handling fine art and furniture, and always the best on-site managers.

Great communication from their office and from the foreman, who texted me the day before to sync instructions. Prompt replies to email inquiries. And careful tracking of our belongings. Thanks, Gentle Giant!
