Gentle Giant Moving Company

Gentle Giant Moving Company, based in Hudson, NH, has an exceptionally deep and consistent public record: 150 reviews from 2021 through 2026, a 4.9-star Google rating, and the kind of detail that comes from real, repeated use rather than a handful of one-off accounts. What stands out is how specific the praise gets. Reviewers across 2025 and 2026 name individual crew members constantly — Ellis, Rocco, Chris, Dominic, Asa, and dozens of others — and describe them handling pianos, artwork, antiques, and heavy furniture with real care, not just moving boxes quickly. One reviewer described a crew moving family members across three states in back-to-back jobs; another described the company handling a bittersweet, emotionally difficult move with patience and thoughtfulness beyond the physical work. Several reviewers mention using the company more than once over the years and coming back specifically because of how the previous move went. Communication before and during the move comes up often too — reviewers describe clear scheduling calls, crews texting ahead of arrival, and estimates that generally landed close to the final number. The one recurring theme worth flagging is cost. A couple of reviews describe the final price running higher than the initial estimate, and one specifically warned that leftover packing materials and boxes get charged for even if they're not used — worth clarifying up front. Another reviewer docked a star specifically over price despite praising the crew's work. None of this is a complaint about the moving itself — every account here, without exception, describes the actual work as careful, professional, and well done — but it's the one place where expectations are worth setting clearly before booking. For a residential move, especially one involving valuable or fragile items, or a long-distance job, the record here is about as deep and consistent as a moving company's gets. The main thing worth doing ahead of time is nailing down exactly what's included in the estimate — packing materials, timing, and any add-ons — so the final bill doesn't surprise you.
