Alex and his team are the definition of hardworking! They were so patient while helping my family move to Newmarket, especially when we hit some troubles along the way. But they were more than accommodating, and my family and myself had no worries with our belongings in their care. Everything from the floor to all the furniture were well protected, and they really made moving so much less stressful. Honestly, don't even call anyone else, they won't even come close! Thanks again!

GIG Moving and Lumping is simply the best experience for moving you can have in the GTA. I booked them off a recommendation from a friend and I was just... blown away. Alex and his assistant were professional, fast, prepared, friendly, and just about the hardest workers I've ever seen. They got us moved in from our apartment to our townhouse fast and efficiently on one of the hottest days of the year without any fuss. Please check them out if you're like me and appreciate good service for the price. Oh, and they were totally transparent on the price of the move, I felt very taken care of and I

Alex and his team are the best movers, here is why:
Communicates clearly who is responsible for what. On time.
Professional, friendly, calm, efficient and knowledgeable. They took care of every item as if it was their own. They were very careful as they were moving awkward furniture as not to damage the house. I felt at ease and safe and cared for from the beginning to the end. I am hiring them again for my last leg of the move. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

We used GIG Moving several times, three times for residential moving and two for commercial. I referred them to some of my friends in need, and they were just happy with the service provided, and prices, too. I highly recommend Alex and his team to onyone who needs fast, professional, accurate and budget moving. ALWAYS on time, fast and super friendly!

The best movers in the GTA !
Alex and his crew are reliable, trustworthy, efficient, professional, friendly. Everything ! And they are very reasonably priced. I can't say enough good things about them. We have used them for 3 moves. My daughter once and a friend, twice. I recommend them highly, without a single worry or doubt.

Alex and team are professional, hard-working, and reliable. I have used them twice: one for a residential move and once for an office move. The office move required moving, among other things, dozens of computers and monitors and other equipment. I had complete confidence in Alex and team handling the equipment. The residential move was during the pandemic and they all worked hard all day while wearing masks and being respectful of social distancing from me and my family. I wouldnt hesitate to use them again and have recommended them to all my friends and colleagues.

I have used Alex twice for a move from Toronto to Barrie and then a move from Barrie to Montreal. The move from Barrie to Montreal was complex as we had to stop at my storage unit plus my apartment in Toronto. Alex is amazingly fair. He works hard and for both moves he had experienced help with him. No issues at all. Good movers are very hard to find. Alex is the best.
