moving

The crew from Rent-a-Son was great - we couldn't have asked for better. They were so skilled and good humoured despite the challenges of getting oversized items, including a piano, down stairs and around corners. They took so much stress out of the move for us, and we're so grateful to them for that!

Small condo move

The three 'sons' who arrived were all friendly, efficient and very careful with my possessions! They made the moving process much smoother than it would otherwise have been - I didn't have a lot of furniture but had them move my fridges between my old and new place in addition to my stuff and they did this efficiently also. Would recommend.

moving

I'm very pleased with the services they provided. Starting from giving me the quote and the actual moving date, staff are friendly. There are no hidden charges, all applicable charges are in our quotes. The "sons" that helped us on the moving date are accommodating and very careful. They wrapped our furniture the way that I could not think they would do it so that we will not gonna have a scratched.

I will definitely use rent - a - son again in my future moves.

Small move; big furniture

The entire process of working with Rent-a-Son was a pleasure. I called a few days before my move and they managed to fit me in. Tyrell and Jerome showed up exactly on time, polite and charming. They packed up my large pieces of furniture with care, moved them across town and put them where I wanted, maneuvering around the staggering amount of stuff already in my house.

I could not recommend these boys more highly - I only wish my own sons were half as helpful.. Thanks so much!

Moved from London to Toronto

Can't say enough about the team of Julian, Alan, and Axel that completed our move from London to Toronto in one day. This was our second move with Rent-A-Son and they did not disappoint! Even after a very long day, the team continued to show attention to their work with completing the final box after dark. Also want to thank our coordinator Amanda, who has organized both of our moves, for ensuring another smooth day.

Great Move Rent A Son

Julian and Reggie came and moved me on September 1st. These guys were quick, friendly and careful. What was supposed to be a 3 hour move was finished in an hour and a half. Would definitely recommend their service.

House move to a new town

These guys are the best. Our latest job involved moving our house contents to our new home, which unfortunately is still under renovation. Everything with the move went exactly to plan: they came when they said they would, packed everything in the truck in record time, and unloaded our belongings without a hitch, despite the unfinished interior. No staircase? No problem! They worked out a method to get furniture to the bottom floor safely. Unfinished rooms? No worries, furniture was placed so not to impede the ongoing renos.
Everything was unpacked in perfect condition, and the final billing was below their estimate!
I really feel that Rent a Son has been our partner throughout this whole process. They moved our furniture for the home staging, and two weeks later, they moved the furniture back. They were flexible when we had to reschedule our moving date. They helped us develop a back up plan involving storage in case our new home wasn't in a state to move our belongings in. And they didn't blink when I added more items to move at the last minute.
I can't say enough good things about Rent a Son. I've no doubt I'll be calling them again after the renovations are complete to help us move furniture (again!) They're friendly, courteous, helpful, always on time. I especially appreciate their can-do attitude. Many thanks to Erika, Jordan and his team.

Toronto House Move

From first point of contact through move completion, Rent-a-Son was extremely professional. We hired them twice over the course of the contents move of our 3000 sq. ft. house, first for staging into storage and second for the final move. The move team of Julian, Junior, Tyrell, Liam and Attimus were very professional and so postivie and upbeat throughout the entire move...even at the destination location which had very poor access. They were beyond careful with our furniture and contents and we're always asking how we were doing...understanding how stressful a move can be on homeowners. They worked extremly hard for us on one of the hotteat days of the year. I highly recommend Rent-a-Son!
