Very Efficient!

Movers George, Damon and Aris were polite, funny and caring. Move went very well in less time than expected. I will recommend Rent a Son to everyone I come across that is moving. I cannot say enough good things about this company.
Thank you!

Move from 2 locations

Great service, very engaged staff, felt comfortable with their handling of our belongings. I would say that as a work crew, Tyler, Arlie, J.P., Nick and Erik were very professional, courteous and quick. We will definitely use Rent a Son for our future moving needs. Job very well done!

Efficient and Friendly Move

We had an excellent move. As senior citizens we want things to be a stress free as possible and the guys did a great job of achieving that for us.
The whole process from the initial quote and follow up from Rob to the packing, loading, unloading and clean up was efficient and professional.
Tyler, Nick and Jerome completed our job in about 5 hours from start to finish and I would highly recommend you ask for them. Anything we asked they cheerfully completed and nothing was a problem for them.
WE are moving again in about a year and we definitely be hiring them again and asking for the same team that moved us.

Extremely happy with our internal move

Tyler and Jordan arrived 5 minutes early, got to work right away and didn't stop until the job was done. Both young men were extremely polite and professional, taking great care with our belongings and surroundings during the move.
Kudo's to Tyler for his ability to quickly assess the site on arrival and determine best placement of items for greatest accessibility in the limited storage space available. He clearly understood our needs.
Thanks for a stress-free afternoon move! We hope Tyler & Jordan are available to handle Part 2 of our move after renovations are completed.

Awesome moving company!

5 stars! Rent-a-Son is the first moving company I’ve ever used and I am so thankful that I chose to do so. Junior & Deakwon were the two guys on the crew, and they were excellent - Punctual, diligent, & professional. They made moving super easy and stress-free for me! I will definitely be using this company again in the future.

Move from condo to house

My wife and I moved from a condo to a townhouse about 30 kms away from where we lived. On the day of the move, our two movers, Junior and Dan, showed up right on time. They were both extremely efficient and courteous.

At the time of loading, we had most of our boxes already packed, labeled, and organized, which made the move quicker. However, there were two big items - a sofa bed, and a bed that needed to be dismantled. Within 10 minutes, Junior and Dan were able to dismantle the big items so that they fit in the elevator.

At the time of unloading, our new place did not have a ramp to make the move easier. Despite that, Junior and Dan carried the furniture and boxes up the stairs and placed them wherever we needed them. The movers were fantastic, they wasted no time, and made the move stress-free.

Our only reason for giving a 4-star rating is because the lady who was coordinating the move completely disappeared two days before the move and did not respond to any of our questions. Despite this one glitch, we still recommend Rent-a-Son.

Move from home to condo

The two young gentlemen, George and Jamal, were extremely courteous and friendly. They worked continuously and were extremely careful with our furniture. They were fast, efficient and, if all employees of Rent A Son are like them, we would definitely recommend Rent-A-Son to anyone contemplating a move. Thank you for making our move as stress-less as possible.

Downsizing

My parents are moving from Ontario to BC, and downsizing from a house to a condo. The furniture and stuff that they couldnt/wouldnt take on their move came to me in Brossard, Quebec. Junior and Deakwon were careful, efficient and professional. They had to contend with snow, a tiny elevator, and a small apartment with sharp corners, and they did so with ease. I could not be happier with my experience. The sales rep was Amanda, and although she coordinated more with my mother, she was organized and efficient when I spoke to her. I strongly recommend Rent a Son to anyone needing a moving company.

Moving made easy

We moved from a 4 bedroom home in Newmarket to a 4 bedroom in Whitby. In the past when we have moved we rented a truck and did it ourselves. This time we decided to try a moving company and we were so happy we did. My first contact was Erika (sales rep) who helped with the quote. We did a video chat so I could show her around my place and we could get an accurate quote. She was very helpful with all of my questions and concerns. On the day of the move our team was Junior, George, Johnathan and Daniel. These guys were hard workers, very quick, and having a good time all day. It was so nice to see everyone in good moods, keeps the day light rather than adding to the stress of moving. They took apart our beds to get them out and set them back up at our new house. It was totally worth it to hire a moving company and I highly recommend rent-a-son.
