Apartment Move

I moved on the 2nd coldest day of the year and my movers were still amazing and helpful! We had two different houses to move from, one with a small front door and large couch, but they were able to move everything without any problems and with humour as well. I would definitely recommend this company; they were great at communicating and excellent service.

Moving/Toronto to Montreal in the winter!!!

I moved from a condo in downtown Toronto. The elevator had been double booked. Rent-a son movers Julion and Jamie and Alex(who was in Toronto only) moved most of my belongings down the stairs in a tight access situation to save time. In Montreal which had been hit with a 38 cm. snow storm the day before Julion and Jamie unloaded and moved me in to an apartment with steep old wooden staircase which they shoveled and salted. It could've been a dangerous situation. They were amazing!!!

I am very happy with Rent-a-son movers and will use them again. (But hopefully not for a while!) Hassle-free professionals with accuracy in estimating moving costs. Other companies I checked out came in almost twice as high in costs. Great job!

quick move in Toronto

I realized at the last minute I was not going to be able to move the heavy items and had already rented a truck from Budget. Rent-a-Son came through on very short notice. Perseus and Abdul were amazing - friendly, fast and careful. I would highly recommend this moving company!

From Toronto to Kitchener

We needed to make a move from our city condo in the to our new home in the amazing city of Kitchener. Right from our first interaction with Rent-a-Son until the very last item was placed in our home our experience was the best we had ever experienced. The office team was prompt and knowledgeable. The move team was friendly, very careful and got every item through the narrow corridors of a small condo building safely to our new home. We highly recommend the Rent-a-Son team!

Exceptional Move

Just before Christmas we moved from our house to an apartment. We were familiar with Rent-a-Son because they had moved a friend of ours the previous year, and had done a great job. Well, they certainly are consistent. They arrived on time with the full team of polite, courteous and professional young men. They treated all our possessions with care and handled the move without incident. The loading and unloading took less than a day. They disassembled and reassembled furniture as required and always treated our previous and current home with respect. We are very impressed.

Move

This was my second time using rent-a-son fir a move. Borh experiences were great. Junior and his team made moving a breeze. They wrapped each piece of furniture and assembled/disassembled with care. They managed to move furniture through very tight spaces and sharp corners quickly, expertly and without any damage. On top of all that they were very friendly, polite and respectful. It was truly moving with piece of mind.

Movers

My 83 year old mom was moving into a seniors apartment and she was a little anxious. The movers arrived on time, were extremely courteous and were careful with her furniture.
The estimated cost was close to the final bill. Everyone who I was in contact with was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
