Just completed an interstate move (CA to NV) and couldn't have been happier with the team at Gentle Giant/Atlas Moving. Michael came out to survey our move in person (unlike some who only wanted to do a virtual tour) and gave us the most thorough and accurate estimate of the four moving companies I contacted. We appreciated his diligence. Maria was very patient in answering all of my questions leading up to the moving, made all arrangements for the third-party vendors we needed for crating/uncrating special items and handled all the paperwork. Reynaldo and his team of packers and movers were terrific. They were extremely careful, yet fast and efficient. Interstate moves are expensive. be sure you do your research so that there are no unpleasant surprises. Go with Gentle Giant!

We move often. So I have a number of comparisons. The pick up was well done. Unfortunately the delivery "guarantee window" was a joke. 3-14 days have now become a month. Still waiting. and no sign of a delivery. Most frustrating and unprofessional is the lack of communication. I have no idea when a driver will be assigned. And no word from the Giants regarding their actions. We are stuck. Don't make the same mistake.

Well my experience will be different I would assume. I was a vendor performing a service, but as far as I could see its a huge wearhouse very organized and professional staff

I've had awful experiences in the past when moving and always dreaded it, but after I met with GG to get the estimate for how much it would cost me to move, they made me feel a lot less stressed about it. On the day of the move, they were machines. They were so organized and methodical in how they did everything. Not only were they fast, but they wrapped everything up really well, took apart furniture that needed it and were really professional.
Nothing was harmed and they got it done so quickly. They were also very affordable. It's by far the best moving experience I've had and I'll be recommending them to anyone I know who is moving.

A nightmare and it continues. My furniture was upside down with the legs broken off. Boxes were missing and no response from Michael Ferrari. He is a little man with a napoleonic syndrome. He finally called after we disputed his storage bill which was 2 weeks after the fact. He is a self glosser and full of himself. He stated we had junky old furniture and was extremely nasty. He told my 78 year old disabled veteran husband to come down to his business and just see who the man really was.
He is a name dropper. After 2 attorneys we finally get the name of his Ins company. No claim number since 4/24/2018, which tells me he has not reported this to his insurance company. Our homes were on several covers of magazines with appraisals over 7 figures. We have a gun missing. He cancelled his packers the day before which caused chaos! I have written the department of Insurance, DOT & other agencies. He likes to threaten And Yell.

Gentle Giant is an upstanding boutique moving company connected with a reputable national chain. I highly recommend them. After weeks of anxiety around finding a moving company for our cross-country journey, a competitor recommended Gentle Giant after the other company was not able to accommodate our move due to scheduling. Immediately, I thought that it was pretty telling that a competitor would stand by them. Then, Mike, the co-owner, completely won us over.
He was a straight shooter and patiently answered all of my (1,000) questions about moving company selection (Maria, the other co-owner happily did the same). He revised our estimate 3 times and even stayed at the office after hours so we could pick up free boxes (before we had even committed to his estimate). His life story is incredibly compelling and he just has a good energy. The crew he connected us with did an excellent job and washed all of our worries away. I'm so grateful we found out about Gentle Giant and would use them again in a heartbeat.
