Rent A Son

We moved August 21st, 2010. The two people Nick and Murad showed up and were eager to start working. The speed at which they worked was amazing. Very little supervision was needed. The truck was packed very well and they used their head about maximizing the space.

The only thing that was dirtied was the king mattress. It was the end of the day and both Nick and Murad were very tired. Eight hours of moving will do that to you, but they were told that the bedroom set was the highest priority to protect. The mattress cover was also not the zippered type.

Overall, this move was great. Nick and Murad both stayed for lunch and dinner and the majority of the house was moved very easily. Thank You Rent-a-son for sending Nick and Murad. I have shared our story several times to friends and family about your great service.

For anyone using Rent-a-son make sure you spend good money on the packing supplies. Nick and Murad made great use on the clear packing tape, covers and protectors we purchased. Make sure you prep the new place so that they are not wasting their time with shoes (We laid cardboard down everywhere). Make sure that the Rent-a-sons take their allotted breaks, lunches, and drink water . It helps them and they seem to tend to forget at the speed that they are moving.

Our yard work needs to be done this fall, so we'll probably having them back again. :-D

I hired 2 Rent a sons to move furniture around: I'm a designer "staging" a house in order to put it on the market to sell.
Alex was very new at this but wonderful. He thought of removing the pictures in the staircase prior the move. He organized them in order so it would be easy to put them back up. Javier seemed more in charge but had a bit of an attitude. The job took half the time than estimated. They are young and strong, perfect for the job of moving big items.

We were preparing for renovations in our basement and needed to move everything out and into the garage. I didn't want my husband and our friends to do it (their over 40 backs aren't what they used to be!)so I checked HomeStars for movers. Rent-A-Son had great ratings, and rightfully so. Two young, strong men, Daniel and John, showed up at our home exactly on time, they were extremely efficient (finished early) and very polite. They were also very careful not to cause any damage to my walls or my furniture. I will call them back when the renos are done to move everything back.

I first used Rent A Son to help declutter and move furniture to prepare for a house sale. I have also used them to do a garage clean-up, gardening, and to assemble and install Ikea cabinets. I have always had a very positive experience, with the young men being punctual, hard working, and polite. I will certainly use them again and would recommend them to others.

The "sons" are polite, energetic, capable and flexible so that no matter what summer tasks needed completing, the tasks were done well and pleasantly. Now that it's time for fall cleanup, they're my first call!

I was listing my house for sale and had a couple of renovation projects that needed to be completed. I was stretched too thin and running up against my deadline. Generally speaking, if you had time to hire, train and supervise the people to finish something like this, you wouldn't need them. I received a pleasant surprise with Rent-A-Son. Their people showed up on time, worked intelligently, efficiently and independantly. They were intuitive, skilled and capable.

I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Nigel was prompt, courteous and quick. He carried a 100lb. IKEA dresser (still in box and needed to be assembled) up 3 flights of stairs with ease. He then assembled the dresser and moved the old one into the basement.
If I had paid IKEA to deliver and assemble this piece, it would have cost almost twice the amount. Fast, efficient and professional. I hightly recommend Rent-a-Son.

I had a huge weed patch for a front yard. It is not big at all but I did not want to do it. Rent-a-son did a good job of weeding in the time agreed and started on the back as well. Great work.

The movers were quick, pleasant, and got the job done well.

$90/hr for two movers & van, which was just the right size to handle moving a small bachelor apartment. Movers showed up promptly on time and worked very quickly, finished right on schedule, no furniture or boxes damaged. Would definitely use again.

With very short notice, Rent-a-son came through for us with high quality moving support. An on-time, courteous and hard working crew made our move that much less stressful. This is our second time using Rent-a-son and we highly recommend them!
