Move to new apartment, smooth sailing thanks to Rent-A-Son

I am someone who usually has friends, family, a case of beer and pizza waiting when finished a move. COVID-19 has changed all of that.

Junior, a 17-year veteran, and new-recruit Troy made for a great team. We were so impressed by their work ethic. They moved us out of a two bedroom apartment within one hour flat, and efficiently moved-in to our new abode within 2 hours. They even finished 1.5 hour early!

Thanks to Rent-A-Son for providing quality movers, and their Co-ordinator Amanda for excellent customer service.

We were highly impressed, and would recommend Rent-a-Son to anyone looking for a reliable, safe and stress-free moving experience.

Moved from Quebec to Ontario - Great Service

Tyler, Johvonne, Natanael, and Andrew helped my family move from Brossard Quebec to Newmarket Ontario. I would highly recommend them, as they were professional, courteous, strong, efficient, and very careful with the items being moved. They took about 3-4 hours to load + disassemble the items on the pickup date, and another 3-4 hours to unload and assemble on the drop off date. I am highly satisfied with their service.
The cost of the move was proportional to the total weight of the items moved, and unfortunately, the total cost came a bit higher than anticipated after the weigh in.

Great Job!

Tyler, Johvonne , Arman and Dion were very professional, great attitude and did a perfect job without a scratch! I would definitely recommend this company. Only problem is that their storage costs could have been explained better. Other than that, great company!

Residential Move

I had previously worked with Rent A Son on a commercial project and they did a phenomenal job so I knew I could trust them with my personal belongings. Tyler, Johvonne, and Amanpreet were wonderful. They wrapped our things carefully, and were very quick. They were clean, rolling mats out on the floors of our home to ensure no mess or damage. I highly recommend Rent A Son, and Tyler and his crew.

Awesome move

A++ company from the back end staff to the movers. Amanda was great and coordinated two concurrent moves for us, and Tyler and Johvonne were perhaps the best movers I’ve had (I’ve moved about 8 time). Very careful, courteous, quick and nice. All of that for a really competitive price. I won’t go anywhere else now.

Great Friendly Service

Tyler and Johronne were the most tremendous, patient and friendly movers. They took the time to ask me questions and check with my preferences. They were prepared to go above and beyond to support with my move.

I would absolutely recommend their help.

Great Movers!

I’ve used Rent-A-Son for a few moves before, so they were the first company I called for another move from Toronto to Durham. It wasn’t a ton of stuff, but the new place had stairs and we simply could not lift all that stuff up all the stairs. Tyler and Johvonne were AWESOME. Super fast, didn’t damage a single thing and even offered to take a few smaller items we had just planned to toss in the car. While rent a son won’t be the cheapest option you’ll get a quote from, they are very professional and are incredibly great at what they do. Highly recommend.

Move from Toronto to Hamilton

We used Rent A Son to move from Toronto to Hamilton. Tyler and Johvonne arrived right on time, and to me and my spouses frustration, the service elevator in our building wasn't working right away. Instead of waiting around for the elevator to be fixed, Tyler and Johvonne went right to work wrapping our furniture and moving it to the hallway to get it ready for if the service elevator was repaired. It was eventually, and everything was smooth sailing from there. They were very professional, quick but also careful, and really friendly. We would definitely recommend this moving company to people.
