Gentle Giant Moving Company, Inc.

If you are thinking of hiring a moving company, we hope you'll consider Gentle Giant. Founded in 1980 by President Larry O'Toole and incorporated in 1985, Gentle Giant Moving Company is the premier moving and storage company in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Virginia (also serving Washington, DC), and the parent company of Gentle Giant's Box Xpress. Gentle Giant offers local, interstate, and international moves. The company's services include packing, moving, unpacking, storage, craning and piano moving.

The goal of the company has always been to provide full-service moving "by the greatest team of movers ever assembled" with "no questions asked" customer service, making every customer a customer for life. The company takes the "Gentle" part of its name very seriously and does everything possible to ensure a safe, effective, hassle-free move. This was actually a new concept in the moving industry when Gentle Giant was founded, but has since become the norm, spawning numerous imitators.

Gentle Giant is proud to be recognized as:

  • The 2006 winner of the Better Business Bureau's International Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics.
  • The 2002, 2003, and 2005 winner of the Better Business Bureau's Local Torch Award for Excellence
  • The 2002 winner of The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year Award
  • Seven-time winner of Boston Magazine's "Best of Boston" and inductee into their Hall of Fame
  • A 2005 winner of the Angie's List Super Service Award®
  • Six-time winner of The Improper Bostonian's "Boston's Best Moving Company" Award
  • One of Boston Business Journal's 50 Best Places to Work in Massachusetts, 2004, 2005 and 2006
  • The 2005 winner of the United Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Year Award

To better serve its customers, in addition to its Somerville headquarters, Gentle Giant operates offices and storage facilities located in Acton, Braintree, Beverly, Framingham, Franklin, Needham, Plymouth, and Wilmington, Massachusetts; Nashua and Portsmouth, New Hampshire; White Plains, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island; and Alexandria, Virginia.
