They were on time and professional. They wrapped all the fragile furniture and put fragile things like glass table tops into crates. They were fast and efficient, a lot of patience because a lot of the pieces had difficulty fitting through the entry way of the new house. And a lot of pieces had to go up a flight of narrow stairs! Nothing got damaged in the move which is amazing! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who has a difficult move!
Description of Work: We moved with in the same town but we had 6 rooms with of furniture that was extremely bulky and heavy. We moved to a smaller house with small entryways. This company sent 6 guy's plus 2 trucks.

If you are moving and in a dilemma about which moving company to hire, your search is over. Gentil Movers is by far the best moving company I have ever worked with. Communication is superior. Before my move, came to my house to give an estimate. He answered every question I had and I knew this company was the one I would hire. Afterwords, I called several times with various questions. Before the phone rang 3 times, someone always picked up and answered my questions cheerfully and completely. Our moving date was not determined until just a few days before closing…so stressful…but not for Gentil movers…they held several dates for me tentatively. Now…let’s get to the actual move. Amazing, incredible, remarkable, inspiring. These men were strong, they were organized, they were helpful, they were untiring. Greg was in charge from beginning to end, and what a job he and his crew did. Not a scratch on the wall, not one item damaged, everything moved to the exact spots we requested. Simply perfect. Do not hesitate to hire this company. They are at the top of their game in every way.
Description of Work: Gentil Movers moved us from Nassau county to Bellport New York.

What a pleasure using Gentil Moving Services. All the logistics leading up to the move were handled by Paul and Mike in a professional manner. Dan and his crew came the day before and packed, wrapped and loaded the truck for our move. Next day they loaded the first stop onto a second truck. Our move to an apartment and the balance to storage went smoothly. Dan?s guys were friendly, helpful and most of all efficient. Thank you Dan and crew. P.S. The final cost was less than estimated. What could be better than that. When we move our belongs out of storage to a new home Gentil is surely the way to go. The Gentil touch definitely worked for us.
Description of Work: Moved us from home to apartment and storage unit 50 miles away.

Paul came to our home initially to give us an estimate. He explained everything they would do and gave us some helpful pointers. We packed ourselves. They showed up on time and worked very quickly to empty our house and then on to our new house which was close by. There were no issues or problems and they finished before the estimated time and we were only charged for the actual time it took - no hidden costs. The crew was very nice and careful with our furniture. I would definitely use them again!
Description of Work: They moved us from a 3 bedroom/2-1/2 bath home to a 2 bedroom/1-1/2 bath home quickly and efficiently.

This was the second time we have used this company and we would absolutely recommend them. The owner Paul gives accurate and fair quotes. He deals with changes and issues quickly and easily. The crews are super professional and pleasant. Greg and crew are super. I have some very heavy pieces from living in Asia and they moved them to different parts of the room while I made up my mind. They had to carry a couch up to the 10th floor because it would not fit the service elevator!! They did not complain. They were like hey no big deal....I couldn't believe it. I was happy to tip them but there was none of the usual strong arming you get from movers. They were just appreciative. I have moved a lot because I lived overseas and all over as a journalist. This is the best company I have dealt with. Ever. And that includes the ridiculously meticulous companies in Tokyo....
Description of Work: Moved furniture and boxes from storage, some to house in suburbs, some to city. Moved furniture and boxes from the burbs to city. Moved furniture back to storage because it didn't fit. Moved many large and heavy pieces of furniture.

They were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was up most of the night and ran out of boxes in the early hours of the morning. They showed up on time and helped me figure out how to get the rest of the stuff packed. Then they loaded up and moved me. A great crew and a great job. A few scuffs on walls (came off with Fantastik) and one small mar on a dresser. The only thing the broke was replaced by Paul (1 tile on a table).

They were very reliable. They came when they said they were going to come, they were very careful with all of my stuff, they were extremely nice, they were polite and courteous and they arrived at my location shortly after I did and they had to travel on roads that trucks had traveled on so it's not like they were goofing around and got lost for a couple of hours. They were really conscientious. They moved my stuff to a house in the mountains and they had to carry the stuff outside to go around the back. They were terrific, they were really great. They put everything down when I wanted it, they moved my rug, they were really nice. Really. really. really good. I'd recommend them in a second.

They were great. It was a long day for all and they kept their smiles. Great crew --want them back when we move into our new home. Only breakage I found was in a carton I packed filled with corningware. Very reliable company!
Description of Work: packed all our art work and valuables the day before move and removed any items from home to curbside for village pick-up. Arrived on time moving day and carefully removed all contents onto 2 vans. When we arrived at our rental they removed and helped us set up our temporary rental with items we felt we needed immediately and then stored the majority of our belongings on the provided premises.

There aren't ratings high enough for this company. The owner Paul Gentil and his workers went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful. They did a wonderful job!
Description of Work: I had to hire a mover to move my deceased brother's belonging to a storage unit. I had a bit of bad luck with the storage unit I secured and paid for was flooded from Sandy and there was no electric. I called several movers, one of which I made a reservation with, and they never got back to me. I hear from Paul Gentil of Gentil Movers and he stepped up and did more than I could ever have asked for. He got in touch with a storage facility and was able to get me a unit. He gave me a reasonable estimate sight unseen and stuck to his word. His workers showed up as promised and worked feverishly to get the apartment emptied out. They were polite and courteous, hard working and efficient in every sense of the word. I was very pleased.

We chose Gentil Moving Company because they were local, their estimate was in the moderate range, and the staff were extremely professional. We had to reschedule the move between 20 and 30 times in a 2 month window (at least that’s what it felt like!) Gentil’s scheduling staff was always accommodating to our ever-changing closing date. We wound up having to push our moving date up a week at the last minute and were given the same courtesy to do so as the many times we had to postpone. The scheduling department was very organized and understanding. Gentil quoted us $130/hour for a 3-man job but on the day of the move, they had an extra truck and 2 movers available so 5 guys and 2 trucks were sent at $200/hour. Because of the extra movers, we actually came in $200 under the estimate. The 5 guys that moved us were extremely pleasant and friendly. They joked around throughout the job – while safely transporting our belongings of course! – which made a very stressful event somewhat enjoyable. Every piece of furniture was wrapped and moved with care. A recliner, a dining room table, and a refrigerator needed to be taken apart for the move and all were re-assembled perfectly. They even removed air conditioners from the windows (something that we should have had done before the move!) and tried to install one that wound up not fitting in the new home (didn't fit). Absolutely nothing was damaged in the move. This was our best moving experience in 35 years.
Description of Work: Gentil moved us a 3 mile distance along the Queens-Nassau border from an apartment with a garage to a 2-story house. Items moved included a large couch, large recliner, several air conditioners (removed from windows), 4 large dressers, a refrigerator, dining room table and chairs, 2 desks, 2 beds and 3 mattresses, 1 43 inch HDTV, 1 china cabinet, several smaller pieces of furniture, and over 100 boxes. The recliner, fridge, and dining table needed to be taken apart and reassembled to fit. We did our own packing but Gentil provided and packed the wardrobe boxes for the closets and wrapped all furniture.

The actual price was less than the bid they quoted. They had a very nice crew and had more than enough people to do the work. They were all extremely friendly and helpful. They were a fun bunch to work with. They helped us pack some things that were not packed yet and provided some additional packing materials. They didn't charge us for that. They were excellent.

Decided to go elsewhere, but it was a tough decision based on Paul's professionalism and reputation.
Description of Work: Called for an estimate and Paul promptly called me back. At first, based on a description of what I had to move, he quoted between $700-1000. He offered to come out and look at the job. I thought this was probably better so he could get a better idea of what would be involved. He arrived within seconds of our appointment time and quoted a significantly higher price based on the difficulty of the move. We decided to go with another mover based on a less expensive per-hour rate for the same services. Though the price wasn't right, Paul was professional and courteous. I doubt he would have done a bad job.

They were excellent and the price was as low as possible. The movers were very careful and considerate. Tom, Greg, and Chris were all very good and timely. Greg was the lead mover and was so considerate with the time it took since they charged by the hour. We ended up tipping them extra because they were so considerate. The owner, Paul Gentil was also great.

The movers were quick and they knew what they were doing. At one point we got held up by torrential rain outside, but as soon as was feasible moving into trucks resumed. Estimate was pretty close to final cost.
Description of Work: Movers arrived on time. Got right to work removing contents of three story house. I had packed myself, but they secured bins even more and wrapped furniture in blankets. Two deliveries were made. One to new apartment and one to a storage facility.

The day of the move was so smooth I couldn't believe it. The truck arrived on time and the men were extremely courteous and pleasant. Anything I asked them to do was done with a smile. The loading went smoothly and the truck left on time. We were moving about a hundred miles into a rural area. The driver had the route mapped and needed no help finding our new home. He called along the way to let me know of their progress. Everything was unloaded and placed as I directed. These guys were great. I can't recommend them highly enough! Nothing broken, scratched or marred.
Description of Work: Paul Gentil made this moving experience as easy as it could be. His estimate was right on the mark, and the extra free wardrobes made moving our clothes so easy.

Everything went extremely well. I spoke to the owner on the phone, and he gave me an estimate. He came the next day to look things over, and the move took place the following day. The men showed up exactly on time. We had four men because, among other things, we had a very large, extremely heavy glass table. They suggested that we let them take everything that was ready (rather than leave a lot of stuff for us to do ourselves). We let them do that, but even with all the extra boxes and furniture, they worked fast enough that the move still came in slightly under the estimate. The men were all nice and polite, and we had no damage at all.
Description of Work: Gentil Moving moved much of our belongings (and all of the heavy stuff) from Hempstead to Freeport.
