Moving within the same apartment building

The two 'sons' that came to move our furniture were punctual, polite and professional. They took care of my furniture in a way that I have not had happen before when moving. One piece of furniture that was especially rickety and I fully expected it to collapse... they took extreme care with it and it made the journey in one piece. I would NOT have blamed them if it had collapsed at all.

Can moving be an enjoyable experience? With these guys helping it sure took the stress out of the actual moving day. Will definitely recommend them!

Moving

This is the second time I have used Rent-a-son. Each time, the quality of service has far exceeded my expectations. The "sons" arrived exactly on time, were extremely professional and hard working, and completed the move well within the slotted time. Moving can be very stressful and Rent-a-son made the move MUCH easier. Overall, I was extremely happy with the move and would not even hesitate for a second in using Rent-a-son again in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend Rent-a-son to anyone who is engaged in small- to medium-sized move. Thank you Rent-a-son!!!

Moving (couch and coffee table)

I spoke with Rent-A-Son late one morning, and 2 hours later the move was in progress. The speed at which this move was arranged was impressive; the move was virtually seamless and effortless. The furniture was well wrapped. The movers were friendly and hard-working, though, needed a few tips on how to maneuver the furniture.
Overall, I was happy with the move and would hire Rent-A-Son again, in the future.
Thank you Dustin and Hussein!

Moving out

Rent-a-Son did a great job getting our stuff into the storage locker quickly and safely. They were efficient, on time, and helpful with suggestions on the best way for our items to be packed and stored. We are using them for our move-in to our new house, so we obviously would recommend them to any of our friends.

In-home moving and interior painting

I hired Rent-a-Son to assist me with moving a number of large furniture items from the top floor to the basement of my home. The guys were punctual, friendly, really, really strong, and finished the work efficiently. I have since hired Rent-a-Son again, and would not hesitate to recommend this company to friends and family.

Packing/Moving

I was getting ready to sell my home, so I needed to put some stuff in storage and needed some extra help to get it done. The guys who showed up were on time and pleasant to deal with. There were a couple of hiccups (including a scheduling mix up whereby the movers showed up a couple of days early), but Rent-a-Son addressed the issues immediately.

Move and packing/unpacking for storage

Hire these guys, you'll be glad you did. This review is long overdue. We hired Ren-a-Son to move our belongings from a condo into a storage "pod", and then several months later, to unpack the pod and move everything into our home. On both occasions, the two "sons" arrived on time, were extremely polite and careful with our items, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and work ethic. The best part was, they were available to pitch-in and assist with random tasks during the moves (such as hauling and loading supplies to and from our car, wrapping/unwrapping delicate furniture, etc.). This was a real advantage - their service is not limited to moving boxes and furniture - they completed a whole host of smaller tasks that we needed help with. The end result was a smooth move with less effort on our part. I'm so glad we hired Rent-a-Son and will definitely work with them again!

Packing and placing in storage

The two gentlemen were incredibly courteous and professional and took great care in protecting some of the furniture we wanted placed in storage. We also moved out a large number of boxes. When you calculate everything the price comes in on the high side, but they go through everything very meticulously and apply packing materials/wrap to chairs etc. as required. If your stuff isn't very nice it may seem over the top. Definitely not a low end service. Again, the professionalism and courtesy are pretty much the highest I've come across in the home service industry. Also, they and the company as a whole make it seamless, reducing the hassle factor to zero.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Explain more clearly where the storage facility is, whether and how you can access it, and the contractual details around the ongoing storage.
