Description of Work: I have used Gentle Giant twice in the past. The first time I used them I was blown away by there amazing service and could not stop raving about them!! | The second time I used them was to move a large storage unit into a two bedroom apartment. Everything was wrapped in moving blankets & protective bed covers I PURCHASED! The second move was no where near the standard of the first and it cost me about 500 dollars more and was a ton less work and they took all my moving blankets & bags & broke furniture & hid it so I didn't find it for weeks!! |I wanted to give them one more try thinking maybe I just got a bad group but when I called for a quote they wanted $1700 to move a tiny 2 bdrm apartment!!! Very disappointed !!!!

Great
Description of Work: We moved from Charlotte to Indian Land, SC on November 26. Packing took place on November 25 and took about 4 hours. GG arrived at 8:30 a.m on November 26 to move us and we were completely in our new home at 7:00 p.m. Our new house is a half hour from our previous home. The guys really hustled and were very polite and professional. None of our furniture was damaged and we were extremely pleased with the entire process.

Left message to get an estimate. After a few days I called again to setup appt for someone to come out. Estimator came on 11/16. He was professional and arrived on time. Advised that I would get an estimate via email in a day or so. Never received it. You're only as good as your word in my book. I won't be calling them again.

Good morning Member, I'm sorry to discover through Angie's List that you never received our estimate. I spoke with Bob, the gentleman who came to your house and, according to our system, he has sent the estimate to you. If tehre was some typo, spam filter, or other small error that prevented you from receieving our estimate i wish you would have called so we could have resent it to you. Bob gave you his personal line and would have been happy to send another copy of the estimate. I apologize for teh frustration and inconvenience this must have caused during an already trying time in your life. We know that there are always plenty of moving parts and loose ends when chaging homes and we strive to make the process as easy and pianless as possible. We clearly failed to live up to that standard on this occaison. I hope your move went well. I'm sorry you never received the estimate we sent you but i can assure you that there was simply some mistake; in no way were we trying to ignore you nor turn down your business. Again, i hope your move went well and that you are comfortably settled into your new home, Happy Holidays, Alex Chasse

Hello Member, I'm sorry to hear that no one called you back. We recentkly switched over our phone systems in your area and as a result had some technical setbacks that have since been resolved. Upon researching your claims I discovered that one of our salesmen, Matt, had made contact with you and was awaiting a callback from your wife, who was arranging the move. By this time I imagine taht you have decided to move with another company. I hope everything went well and that you are settled into your new home. Again, I apologize for the slow service in regards to communication. I wish your wife had called us back so we could have solidified our reputation as a company providing unmatched customer service. Our technical glitches have all been smoothed out and I assure you that this problem will not be happening again. I apologize for the added stress this must have caused during a busy time in your life. I wish you well in your new home. Happy Holidays, Alex Chasse

Gentle Gaint responded promptly to our request for a verbal quote. They arrived on time and quickly loaded the truck, wasted no time, and unloaded the truck at the new house without taking any breaks. They clearly had a system that worked with loading and unloading in the lest amount of time. The workers were extremely polite and very respectful.

The move started at about 9:30 am; no wasted time. It was a very hot day. Jon and Chris worked constantly, only takinging a couple minutes for water breaks. Everything was moved and placed exactly as specified. There was no damage, no scratches, no problems. After all the furniture had been moved to the new condo, Jon asked if we were satisfied with the placement and would gladly rearrange anything we would want. The entire move was completed with no hiccups.
Description of Work: My mother-in-law moved from a one floor 2000 sq ft town home to a 1000 sq ft Senior care condo. I had seen Gentle Giant in action when a neighbor moved last year and noticed the care they took. So we called Jon Vogel and had him look at the moving site. He was confident and made us feel at ease about the move. Gentle Giant called the night prior to the move to let us know they would arrive between 9:00 and 9:30 am, which they did. They were very careful of all furniture,wrapped white couches in plastic to avoid soiling, and even moved a couple pieces to an alternate location. Jon and partner Chris were pleasant, courteous, and professional.

These guys are awesome! The movers (each was about 6' 2") called when they were on their way to my apartment and even showed up about 30 minutes early which was great!! They were incredibly friendly and helpful. They took really good care of packing my furniture and moved and unloaded everything quickly and efficiently, placed my furniture where I wanted it and even put my bed together! I can't say enough good things about Gentle Giant movers. They may charge a bit more, but it was worth every penny! This was the best and easiest move I've ever had (and I've had plenty of moves)! What also impressed me was that the two movers had nothing but good things to say about working for Gentle Giant - not something one hears often.
Description of Work: Gentle Giant packed and moved my furniture from a 6th floor apartment into a single family home.

When we decided to replace our sofa, we knew it would be difficult to move the old one out. The movers that moved it into our home banged up the walls quite a bit getting it in, so we dreaded having this happen again, and we knew there was no way we could do it ourselves. I wasn't sure how easy it would be to find someone to just move this item, but I noticed in the other reviews that Gentle Giant had performed these tasks previously. I am so glad that we called them! Their price was great, as they were able to fit us in between jobs (we were flexible on date/time). They did a FANTASTIC job of getting it down the stairs - not a single bump, and couldn't have been more friendly and easy to work with. They clearly knew their stuff, as they were able to quickly identify the best way to complete the move (which was not the way the other movers got it in!). If/when we move again, we will be calling Gentle Giant without hesitation. I only wish we had used them previously! I think our walls would thank us!
Description of Work: They moved a sleeper sofa from our 2nd floor to the 1st, down a very narrow split staircase.

WONDERFUL. After using a professional mover last summer to move me from Texas to NC, I didn't realize the difference between a guy who has a truck and a professional mover. These guys are pros. They showed up on time, were very accomodating to my neighbors in the apartment by moving their truck several times so my neighbors could get their cars out, wrapped all the large wood and breakable pieces and had a great attitude while doing it. What amazed me was that they didn't use dollies for any of it! They lifted everything as a team and carried it (including the sleeper sofa and the washing machine). While they were a bit costly, I felt that it was money well spent because they were very careful of all my items and even offerred to help me rearrange the furniture once they had it all in the house. All in all, a great job!!
Description of Work: Moved all the furniture, appliances and boxes from my apartment to a house I just bought.

They knew how to do their job safely, and communicated well with each other on the best way to move things. They took care to make sure not to damage the floor or items. We've probably moved five or six times, and of everyone we've used these guys outshined everyone. They communicated well, and worked with us to move some things around multiple times to make sure we were happy with the placement. If we move again, they will be the first ones on our list.
Description of Work: They unloaded two storage units, plus a Pod that was delivered to our house.

I called for an estimate, and made an appointment for Bob to come to come to my home and survey how long it would take for the move. He was on time, and polite. I had a multiple destination move, so I though it might be a bit tricky. He was professional and accurate with time estimations. I got the estimate and compared it with some others. I called back and scheduled a date and time. On moving day, the truck rolled up in front of my house on time, and 3 men came in to briefly and politely introduce themselves, and have a look around. Within 5 minutes of their arrival they were padding, and wrapping furniture. These guys had major hustle and muscle! It was amazing! Since they are paid by the hour, hustle and muscle are the perfect combination. The care and speed they use is super! They drove the truck to my new home. I just had the hardwood floor refinished the week before the move. They were extra careful not to leave a scratch. They unwrapped, unloaded, and set furniture exactly where I asked them to put it. Gentle Giants get an A plus in my book. You don't get a job well done with excellent customer service like this anywhere else!
Description of Work: Estimation of time and man power. Wrapping, padding, and moving, large, heavy, antique furniture, and several boxes to my final destination. Placing furniture in designated rooms, setting up beds.
