MOving Support

I have used Rent-a-Son twice this year and both times the young men were personable, efficient and a pleasure to work with. They were proactive in helping me pack up my house and their intelligence and understanding of my needs was most valued. When at the last minute I needed more help than I thought, the sales staff was very supportive and got me someone on very short notice. Their end-to-end electronic process makes working with them a breeze! This company is professionally run and a pleasure to work with!

General labour

The last three months has been a marathon of buying and selling houses and doing renovations on both ends. What a scene! Being able to call in another pair of hands an a strong back at critical times has been an absolute godsend. We got help with everything from yard-word and garage cleaning, to painting and moving. This company offers an invaluable service for reasonable rates.

Within house move of furniture

We had Rent-a-son help us with a simple project of moving heavy furniture downstairs. The two guys who came were on time, extremely polite and very efficient. Setting up the job was seamless and quick with very polite customer service over the phone

Moving

This is our second time hiring Rent-a-sons and again we are happy! The first time was in London, and now in Pickering. They did show up a bit late in Pickering, though we did receive a credit for that. They helped us tremendously and worked fast and efficiently. No complaints! We have used "cheap moving" companies before. They pull stunts like quoting one price on the phone, and changing the price once they arrive. In fact, the last time we tried to hire a "cheap Mover", they made us feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, so after 10 mins, we turned them away. Move yourself, get Rent-a-son to help with the big stuff, and use a storage company like "City Centre Storage" in London. You will have a "hassle free" experience and full control!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Arrive on time. Yes I know, you employ young people. It's the beginning of their career, and they need to learn the importance of timely arrival!!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Use Rent-A-Son!

Internal Move

The crew helped move a washer and drier from my second floor to my basement, along with an iron claw-foot tub and heavy industrial door. I found the crew was polite and and they were efficient with their work. They listened to my requests to carry the items in a particular way to avoid damage. I would not hesitate to have them in my home again.

Moved boxes to storage facility

The guys came on time and did everything I asked - they were careful with my collection of ceramic plates and porcelain which they hand carried up two flights of stairs and stored on shelves. They then moved all of my boxes in the truck to the storage facility I rented and again - fast, careful and helpful. The guys were friendly and helpful. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Moving apartments

I needed to move apartments and because of elevator reservations, the complete move had to be done within three hours. The movers came 10 minutes early and when the service elevator didn't work, they used the normal one and got the job done.

helped with a big move

We used this company when we decided that we didnt have enough help for a move. It was the best decision that we made. They arrived promptly and immediately got to work. Nothing was too much trouble. They were both courteous and respectful and worked their butts off. I would not hesitate to use this company again and have already recommended them to two friends.

moving office locations

Moving has always been a treadful time. We've had movers scam us left, right and centre...promising one rate and then holding our items hostage for another rate when we arrive at the location.

This company, however, was amazing. Professional, polite, fast and dare I say, made our moving experience even pleasurable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Moving furniture and household items

Perfect solution for me in moving all furniture and several items internally within my house in preparation for floor refinishing. The son was hardworking, polite and professional. Would definitely use this service again.
