Highlights
- Gentle Giant-backed — parent company cites 40+ years of experience
- Clean early rating — 5 stars from its 3 Google reviews
- Niche focus — built specifically for small-load and single-item jobs
- Thin public record — only 3 Google reviews on file
- Similar-name confusion — a distinct Walpole company shares near-identical branding
Small Moves Boston is the small-load specialist arm of Gentle Giant Moving Company, running out of Charlestown for jobs that don't need a full crew and a giant truck — a single couch across town, an apartment's worth of boxes, an in-house staging move. It leans on its parent company's history, describing itself as drawing on 'over 40 years of experience' through Gentle Giant, with Tom Travers listed as the crew's manager. Its public review trail is thin: just 3 ratings on Google, all five stars. That's not enough to call a pattern yet, but it's a clean start, and the business is listed as a member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Worth knowing before calling: several open-web mentions that turn up under very similar 'Boston Small Moves' branding actually describe an unrelated company based in Walpole, MA, not this one. Confirm you're booking Small Moves Boston specifically out of the Bunker Hill Industrial Park location, and ask how its small-load crews are staffed and insured for a job your size.

I actually used and intended this review for Small Haul and not Gentil Giants! The "Small Moves" name is confusing...

Used Small Haul for a move within Boston from a Storage facility to an apartment. Would highly recommend. Gave me full transparency about when they were coming and did a great job moving the stuff and even put together an Ikea bed for me. The guys were great and did everything quickly and effectively. Will use them again if needed
