Gentle Giant Moving Company has revolutionized the moving industry since Larry O'Toole founded it in 1980. What started as a small local operation has flourished into a nationwide service with 20 locations across the country. Over the past four decades, they have maintained an unwavering commitment to quality service that continues to set industry standards. The company's success stems largely from its exceptional team. Gentle Giant employs over 300 moving professionals who undergo comprehensive training before ever handling a client's possessions. Many team members come from athletic backgrounds—some even with Olympic-level experience—which translates into movers who combine strength with careful precision. Each year, Gentle Giant successfully relocates more than 15,000 customers. Whether moving a piano across town, relocating an entire household across state lines, or transferring a business to new facilities, Gentle Giant offers tailored solutions for every scenario. Their comprehensive approach covers everything from expert packing and secure storage to personalized moving strategies tailored to each client's unique situation. This attention to detail has built a remarkable reputation, with an impressive 80% of new customers coming through personal referrals. Such loyalty speaks volumes about how effectively they transform a typically stressful life event into a smooth transition. While earning numerous industry awards for their ethical practices and operational excellence, Gentle Giant remains committed to accessible pricing and their unconditional satisfaction guarantee. This balance of quality and value extends beyond their moving services to include environmental responsibility and meaningful community involvement. Larry O'Toole continues to guide the company with the same founding vision that has defined Gentle Giant for over four decades—delivering stress-free relocations with uncompromising respect for both clients and their belongings. Their enduring success proves that their namesake approach—combining strength with careful handling—remains as relevant today as when they first began.
