About Charlotte, N.C.

Charlotte is nicknamed the “Queen’s City” in honor of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III at the time the city was founded in 1750. About 50 years later the city became famous for being the location of the first gold rush in the United States. While people no longer move here with the hope of finding gold, it’s still easy to see why so many of our customers have relocated to Charlotte, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.

Whether you’re a sports fan, foodie, culture enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, or just looking for family friendly fun – Charlotte has something for you. From the NASCAR Hall of Fame to the downtown stadiums of the Charlotte Hornets, Carolina Panthers, and Charlotte Knights—there is no shortage of entertainment for local sports fans. Professionals and local college students can enjoy the numerous breweries and live music venues. Other notable attractions include: the Charlotte Ballet, Discovery Place Children’s museum, Carowinds Amusement Park, and the U.S. National Whitewater Center—which features the largest man-made whitewater river in the world.

Although we’ve won many awards, we’re especially proud to be named one of Charlotte’s best moving companies and one of Charlotte’s Healthiest Employers! Whether you’re moving across town, or across the country Gentle Giant is your trusted hometown Charlotte mover. When it comes to the perfect, stress-free move, we really do hit it out of the park. 

100% Crew Guarantee

Gentle Giant promises to deliver exceptional service to every customer, guaranteed (100% Crew Guarantee). Contact us anytime if you believe we have performed otherwise.

Moving Within Charlotte

Gentle Giant knows your neighborhood. Whether you’re moving from a high-rise in Uptown, from Freedom Park or University Place, we’ve been there. We’ll even move you inside the same building. Need boxes and packing? – We’ve got that too. Gentle Giant has been the best mover in Charlotte since 2007!

Moving Out of Charlotte

With 20 locations nationwide Gentle Giant can move you to anywhere in the lower 48 States. Unlike the van lines we don’t subcontract our services to move your stuff. When you choose Gentle Giant for a long distance move, we have the capacity so that your items are only handled by Gentle Giant employees start to finish. Learn about some of our most popular routes here.

Storage

With multiple warehouses across our footprint Gentle Giant can meet your long or short term storage needs. When you store your belongings with Gentle Giant, we inventory, label, and store everything ourselves in self-contained crates that can be accessed only by Gentle Giant staff. We also have options for electronic inventories that include itemized photographs of each of your items.

Packing and Moving Boxes

Moving can be stressful, so leave the hard work to us! We’ll come the day before your move and pack everything for you. When you hire Gentle Giant to pack your valuable belongings there is the added guarantee that your items will arrive safe and sound at the other end.  We take the necessary care and precision required to pack everything from crystal stemware to your baseball card collection like they were our own. If you want to pack yourself, though, we offer free delivery of moving boxes to your home too!

I retired from the military and have executed many moves over the years. The crew was by far the best movers I’ve ever had. Very professional, helpful, great communication, thorough, friendly, and just an all around great experience.

In a word; fantastic! Randy & his crew made the entire process painless and easy. We've used Gentle Giant several times over 14 years and have always had great results. This move was our furthest and with distance comes natural anxiety. Well, Randy, Mitch, Dylan and Mike M. took away that anxiety, and made this move enjoyable. Every item was carefully placed in the exact spot we requested, and every box which was clearly labeled was brought to the room designated.If we could give a 20 star rating we would. The total price came-in under the estimate and the entire job was absolutely perfect. We recommend Gentle Giant for any and all moves, from local to long distance; home or business. We've used other movers before and have never been happy with the work. Gentle Giant gives you peace of mind and treats your belongings as if they owed them.

Our team (Richard, Kayon and Arnas) with Gentle Giant were awesome!! They were careful, respectful and competent! Great service and pleasant! When my husband tried to apologize for a couple of our more difficult pieces, Arnas said " Well, moving just boxes all the time gets boring." Great team! I would highly recommend them!

James (crew chief), Aaron, Collin, Arnas, and Alejandro were fantastic to work with! They showed up on time and carefully put my furniture and boxes where I needed them to go. They were also very patient in rearranging furniture a few times. I’d definitely recommend them with no hesitation.

I had the pleasure of using Gentle Giant for a move from Charlotte to Brevard. What a great experience with Talon and his crew of extremely hard working guys.Talon, James, John, Kayon, Alan, and Darius were witty, fun, hard working, and most of all...quick! They didn't waste time getting the job done. They were so efficient in loading our house up in less than two hours!! I provided some extra water, Gatorade, and donuts for the long drive to Brevard and off they went after Talon confirmed what Google Maps was telling him after Hurricane Helene.Talon called me when they arrived in Brevard and started unpacking even when we were 15-20 minutes away. I stopped to grab sandwiches and chips for them and they were so grateful.After a very short break they resumed like Tasmanian devils and had the beds together and confirmed everything was where we wanted it before they’d do the final walk through.I am a repeat customer and will continue to give Gentle Giant my future moving business. There’s no reason to call any other company.

I recently had the pleasure of moving with this company, and I can confidently say it was the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Richard and Arnas were incredible from start to finish, going above and beyond to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. They arrived on time, fully prepared with all the supplies needed, and immediately impressed me with their professionalism and attention to detail.Throughout the day, they took extra precautions with every item, carefully wrapping and padding furniture, handling fragile items with expert precision, and making sure that each piece was loaded and unloaded without a single scratch or scuff. Their commitment to taking such great care of my belongings made the move feel almost like a concierge experience — far beyond what you typically expect from a moving service.They were also incredibly polite, respectful, and communicative. Richard and Arnas kept me updated at each stage of the process, checked in to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in the new space, and even offered some helpful tips on furniture arrangement. It’s clear they take immense pride in their work and genuinely care about making the experience a positive one for their clients.And while the service was top-notch, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, offering fantastic value for the level of care and service provided. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free moving experience.
