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.
