Personal Service Moving
people in Los Angeles still remains the
largest
part of our business. From a small studio
apartment to a six bedroom home, from hard working Angelinos to
well known celebrities, all our customers get the four-star
treatment. That’s why Gentle Giant is well known as a premier
local mover. |

Feel free to visit our facility in Hawthorne
and view the "Wall of Fame." Even though we are sometimes
referred to as a "mover to the stars" our focus is very much
down to earth, delivering moves at the lowest price consistent
with good service.
A local move is defined as any move under 100 miles from Los
Angeles, yet still within the state of California. (other states
may vary). A local move is charged by the hour. Check the
Statewide and Interstate pages for their respective rates.
The
rate for a local move is $84.00 per hour
for two men
and a fully equipped truck. Each additional man is $36 per hour.
The time starts when we arrive at your door and stops when
everything is unloaded at the destination.
We place the furniture in the rooms you specify, and anything that
has been dismantled is set up again. |

It’s important to label the boxes, so that we can place them in
the proper rooms. This also facilitates the unpacking process. We
offer a 50% refund on any boxes obtained from us for a local move.
We charge $40.00 for delivery or pickup, and of course, you’re
always welcome to visit our facility if you decide to pick them up
yourself. |

Free Estimates
Estimates are free and there is no obligation. We advise that you
obtain a written estimate from several movers ahead of time. A
written estimate is binding, phone estimates and rate quotations are
not.
A written estimate ensures you a “not to exceed” maximum
price. It’s where the entire move is planned in advance. It allows
us to gauge what size of truck will be required, the number of men
to send, and any special equipment that may be needed. We can also
anticipate the number of boxes that you’ll need and discuss all the
details of the job in person.

Get an Instant Quote
Feel free to play with our “Get a Quote” feature. It’s important
to remember that this is not a proper on site estimate. The
formula that underlines the instant quote is the same the
estimator will use, but because there are so many variables in
an actual move, it can only be a rough guide. A good example of
this, is when a large item needs to be crated or hoisted, or a
special item needs to be shrink-wrapped. Plus, we can also
anticipate what will be needed to handle your fragile items.
This will ensure a smooth and uneventful move.
The moving industry is regulated by the Public Utilities
Commission in the state of California. The Commission publishes
an excellent booklet entitled "Important Information for People
Moving Household Goods Within California." Our estimator will
leave a copy with you when he does the estimate, or feel free to
contact our office and we will be glad to mail a copy to you.
Again, proper planning and good communication with your mover
will ensure a pleasant moving experience.
