Company information

From their Swift Avenue warehouse in South San Francisco, Gentle Giant Moving Company brings something special to Bay Area relocations - a culture of enthusiasm, respect, and teamwork that transforms stressful moves into positive experiences. Since opening their San Francisco location in 2011, this award-winning company has carefully selected individuals who embody their core values, including rugby superstar crew members and highly trained "Giants" who treat every move with professional pride. What separates Gentle Giant from typical Bay Area movers is their comprehensive approach - they offer climate-controlled storage, specialized piano moving through Allston Piano Movers, and their signature 100% crew guarantee that ensures customer satisfaction. Their teams navigate San Francisco's unique challenges, from steep hills to narrow streets, with expertise gained through 45 years of moving experience across multiple states. Bay Area families appreciate their full-service options including packing, unpacking, and commercial relocations, all delivered by professionally trained movers who consider themselves part of something bigger than just another moving company.
