Great movers with a positive attitude

Rent-a-Son helped me move into my new apartment in one day and I couldn't have been happier with their level of service, positive attitude, teamwork, and problem-solving approach. Some moves can be difficult or aggravating; this one was a pleasure from start to finish. Thank you so much, guys!

Moving

They really did an excellent job. The team arrived on time and ready to work. They put down stair and floor runners to protect the home I sold and protected the home I was moving into. They came prepared with tv and mirror boxes. The hustled all day and not a word of complaint. Which considering the home we started at had 4 flights of stairs is impressive.

I would highly recommend rent-a-son to anyone who asks.

Moving to demolish the residence

We had 5 guys and two trucks move our entire house to another house. The guys were great, all pleasant, capable and knowlegeable. They even disconnected our glued stove as the technician we had hired for the job didn't show up in time. They were very carefull with all the furniture and covered the floors as well. Their price is more reasonable than some other competitors and didn't have any hidden or unexpected fees. Just make sure you pack everything well ahead of time and stay to the end to make sure everything is taken as small items maybe left behind otherwise. I was very happy with this company and will be using them again.

Milton to Renfrew

Amanda provided excellent service coordinating my son’s move from Milton to Renfrew. The crew was very professional and arrived as scheduled. They efficiently protected and packed all items. Everything arrived safe and sound and the move was all completed between 9-5!
I highly recommend Rent-A-Son for any future moves.
A job well done!

Partial Move

Was required to move some furniture (couch, kitchen table, double bed, cabinet were among some of the larger items) to a one bedroom studio apartment.

The entire experience was fantastic and hassle-free. On top of having an accurate quote and providing an on-time, same day move, the movers (Julian and Alex) were very diligent and took great care in moving the furniture.

I would highly recommend Rent-a-Son will be using their service again in the future.

Rent-a-Son reduces the stress of moving!

I moved my 2 bedroom condo + my car from Calgary to Ontario with Rent a Son. This is the 2nd time I've used them within two years and I have no complaints. Amanda is a pleasure to work with. The estimate I was given is usually in line with the actual weight, no hidden fees during the move, and the moving staff they contract are always amazing. Also, shipping my car was a breeze. I'd use Rent-a-Son again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone. They make the whole stress of moving a lot easier.

One Step Ahead With Everything

Rent-A-Son was great. We had two pickup stops before our new home and we had a couch that had to be hoisted out a window because of size.

The crew of Daniel, Julian, Alan, Joe and Shaq were amazing. They were quicker then expected and always one step ahead.

Daniel was the foreman on the crew and a beast when it came to hoisting the couch. He had all the guys organized and we never had a doubt our stuff was being taken care of.

Julian was always busy loading on the way out, Alan and Joe were making sure everything was always protected and moved properly and I don't think I ever saw Shaq take a break!

They were so quick I couldn't keep up, you'd turn around and another room was empty or piece moved. Then on the unload they were so quick i just stood there and tried to keep up on telling them which room stuff went to. Thats when you realize everything they did on the load into the truck. Stuff is coming off wrapped in covers/blankets that you didn't even know they had wrapped on the front end because they are so quick. TV's and mirrors were perfectly protected and Joe took a lot of time to ensure they were boxed perfectly.

You are always nervous before move date but this group actually made moving enjoyable. I would use them and Rent-a-Son again.

Highly recommend!
