Multi-Move for Renovation

Cory and Steven showed up on time even though it would have been a busy time to commute. They were very polite, good guys who got right to the job. No messing around. These guys hauled. What appeared to be a daunting task to us, they handled with care and ease. We will definitely be requesting these guys back when the house is ready to move back into.
Thanks Guys and Rent-a-Son

Toronto to Ottawa Move

Moved from Toronto to Ottawa for work. The movers (Sam, Brad and Miles) were punctual, professional and enthusiastic. Took extra care without being asked. The Long Distance Moving Coordinator (Amanda) was exceptional in her thoroughness and attention to detail with my move. The quote was very close to my invoice at the end (a bit higher because the total weight of my stuff was higher).

Moving can be extremely stressful and for me this wasn't. I would highly recommend to anybody looking to move.

Moving

I hired the Rent a Son company for my big move from a house in Markham to a condominium on July 26th, 2018. I was extremely impressed by the gentlemen's who were moving me. They are the best movers that I ever dealt with. I was very happy with their care for all my items. I will recommend them to all my friends who needs mover. Way to go Rent a Son way to go.

in house furniture move due to big renovation

I have used Rent a Son for many years for various moves. Their staff is always great and our last move was no exception. Great energy and very polite staff with a can do attitude. Plus Erika is our coordinator and she is superb. She knows how to ensure the arrangements are all correct and suitable and is also very pleasant and efficient. Thanks Rent a Son.

Home move services - absolutely EXCELLENT!

I had been in my current apartment for almost 10 years, so the prospect of having to move was not something I was looking forward to. I was referred to Rent-a-Son by a friend who had used their services several years prior, and after looking at several movers, I went with Rent-a-Son. I am very glad I did! Everything about my move - from the arranging of the services, with Amanda, to the absolutely EXCELLENT care Brian and Jonathan took of my possessions as they packed, moved and unpacked them - was handled efficiently, professionally and with the utmost care for me and my possessions. I would not hesitate to recommend Rent-a-Son to anyone looking for movers. My experience with them was stellar.

Industry Leader

My family had the pleasure of using Rent-A-Son twice in one week to complete a large move. From the first phone call to the signing of the invoice, it was a seamless, pleasant, and reliable experience that alleviated so much stress. Rent-A-Son exceeded our expectations. They were consistently professional, communicative, customer-oriented, and personable.

Christy and Erika were great to deal with via telephone and e-mail pre-move, and our two moving teams were superstars. Our first team - led by Junior, and including Stephen Brian and Marco - worked well together, were all smiles, and hustled for eight hours. It was clear that even though we were paying by the quarter-hour, they were motivated to move efficiently while safeguarding our personal items and valuables. Our second team - Stephen (again) and Diego - performed in the same manner, for five hours, despite having only been originally booked for a two-hour job.

We cannot recommend this company enough and believe that every moving company out there should be modelled after Rent-A-Son.
