The movers took extra precautions to ensure that nothing was damaged and got the job done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this company and would definately use them again in the future. Thanks to Johnathan and Steven for their diligence.

Moving Day

I moved my mother-in-law from a condo to a retirement home. We chose Rent-a-Son because the estimate was reasonable and my m-I-l liked the name. The two gentlemen, Trey and Josh, arrived right on time. They were both courteous, efficient, careful, and thorough (save for a Robertson screwdriver which a neighbour lent us). It was a real pleasure to have them look after this often stressful event. It went really smoothly. She’s all settled in. Thank you guys!

Move

Rent-A-Son helped us move from our one plus den apartment in Toronto, which was a 4 storey walk-up, to a 3 bedroom house in another city, on a blistering hot day. The movers were polite, careful, hardworking and friendly. Would highly recommend this company.

Move withing the city

We had Corey (team leader), Adjei and Coner for our move. They arrived on time, were courteous, and most importantly efficient. The starting property had tight stairs and they were very careful maneuvering items. They got to the destination on time and re-assemble all the furniture carefully.

They made the moving day pleasant for us, and I would highly recommend them.

Move from Hamilton to Toronto

I've moved multiple times in the last twenty years, and Rent-a-Son is the best moving co. I've ever had (I've used them twice now). Erika was extremely efficient and thorough before the move and Mason and Jonathan were terrific throughout the move. Polite, funny, respectful and competent. They took apart an extremely heavy table and reassembled it after the move, brought some of my stuff to storage and then to an apartment - they were friendly and worked fast the whole time. Thanks!

Moving stuff to storage locker

The team came on time (early actually), were courteous, careful with my things (including the antiques), noted any prior damage or problems and were quite fast with their work and easy to work with. I look forward to working with this crew again for my next move. I have moved a lot and this group was among the best of all my moves. Thank you!

Excellent Service and Beyond

I was moving from a house to a 2 BR condo apartment. The things I had was lots for an apartment as I did not know how much I had until I move in. Rent-a-Son was really understanding from Rob who coordinated the move, to Parseus team leader and Aslan, team manager.

We had the elevator problem at our condo when both were broke down. Parseus had to leave our stuffs at the storage while Aslan came back the other day to continue the move.

All the team members from the office to the crew are phenomenal. I have been moving lots through the years but no one could meet half of Rent-a-son standard. They always the right attitude and understanding for our difficult situation.

I truly appreciate the hard work, professional and dedication. You guys are the gems in the business.

Amazing team Rob Nunner, Aslan, Parseus, Mike, Tobias, Nick...

Move contents of storage container back into my home

From the first contact the service at rent a son was professional, efficient, and friendly. They too great care and had great respect for me, my things, and my new home. The move went smoothly and they even took the time to help rebuild some of my furniture. A great experience and a great team. Thank you!
