Light Moving

I needed a truck and some help to move a couple large objects a few Kilometres. I gave Rent-a-son a call and they were happy to help. The driver was punctual and very professional. I will be calling on them again when I am in a bind!

Moving, yard work, fireplace resurfacing, etc.

I am a single mom, with a new baby. It's difficult to get things done around the house. I have used Rent-a-Son for moving services, yard work and other odd jobs. Every experience has been great. The "sons" are reliable, personable and I feel comfortable that they are going to do the work required.
I have recommended Rent-a-Son to friends who have all had positive experiences. I don't know what I would do with out you!

Moving the dining and living rooms

We engaged Rent-a-Son to move the furniture out of our living and dining rooms in preparation for a floor refinishing job. The job involved moving the furniture into storage pods which were transported to a storage site. The move co-ordinator was in constant contact with us to help with arranging moving supplies and special packaging requirements. On moving day, the crew arrived promptly, got to work and did the whole job in about one and half hours! They were efficient, very friendy and knew what they were doing. We had ordered three bins to ensure that we had enough capacity but the crew expertly packed the furniture so that only two bins were required. This turned out to be a great move. We had no hesitation in rebooking the "move-in" with Rent-a-Son ten days later.

Residential Move and Storage

We hired Rent-A-Son to move the contents our home and pack them into PODS containers for storage. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to hire them for any future moves, they're professional, efficient, personable and proactive.

If you're considering a residential move I highly recommend them, the sales/customer staff are courteous and very capable, give them call...

Moving & assembly.

Kaleidoscope Marketing and Communications Inc. has been working with Rent-a-Son for a number of months and they never cease to amaze. The nature of our business is such that we have very last minute requests and Rent-a-Son has always accomodated- far surpassing our expectations. I would recommend Rent-a-Son to my colleagues, as: the "sons" are always on time and extremely helpful, the account management is handled on a professional, yet familiar level, and the support staff are always kind and welcoming.

All around, excellent customer service!

Moving sand out of basement

I hired eight guys to dig out a massive pile of dirt in my basement and load it to a rented disposal bin. They all showed up eager to work, were highly respectful to me and also their fellow workers. They had all worked together many times before and they genuinely possessed great attitudes. They worked so quickly that they finished early and eagerly suggested they do some yard work and anything that I wanted them to do. We ended up removing the basement carpet and a lot of the cement floor underneath. They made me feel comfortable (I am female) to have them working in my home and I will definitely hire them again whenever I have a need.
Well done, Dustin. You have really good workers in your employ.

Moving

Booked three movers to move items into storage for me. Nick, Nigel and Isaac were amazing. Arrived on time,worked hard and did an amazing job of wraping furniture so it won't get scratches. They were so good at utilizing the space in the storage locker that I have room left for more items.
This is the second time I've used rent-a-son for moving and I highly recommend them.

Office move

Rent-a-Son is a first-rate, masterful moving company. From the front office: arranging and costing out my move (Thank you, Dustin & Hussein), to the actual move itself: prompt, courteous, careful and hardworking (Thank you, Serge & Owen), the entire moving experience was carried out with consummate professionalism. Stop looking around and book with them now!
