Move to new house

We chose rent-a-son based on the positive reviews on home stars and were not disappointed. Patrick came to our house to provide an estimate, as we had both a garage and attic in addition to the stuff in the house. He was very nice and provided a quote within a day. On the day of the move, the movers showed up on time and ready to go. The "sons" were polite, very careful, and efficient. Nothing was broken, and they somehow managed to fill a truck to the brim like a Jenga puzzle. It was honestly a pleasure to spend the day with them. They even moved some heavy items from our new basement that we had already stored during renovations up three flights of stairs. My final bill was within $100 of the estimate. I would highly recommend their services.

heavy moving

We used Rent-a-Son on Sept 12th, 2012 to help load our POD. We were all extremely impressed with how hard the two men worked. They were quick, efficient, and very friendly. I was so impressed that I have booked them again to help unload my POD when we move into our new home in October.

Rent-a- Son

Great Service for loading my POD. The movers were very quick and proffessional, and made it stress free.They were very careful with our belongings. I will definately use them again to offload my POD when I move into my new home, and I strongly recommend anyone who is moving to consider this company for a stress free move.

Moving from Condo

I was recommended Rent a son by one of our employees. From the beginning with the service from Bob Mather everything went smoothly. Both Marc Teine and Brandon Jenkins were extremely quick and efficient. They went above beyond to make the move run smoothly. Thank you all very much.

I needed 40 boxes moved from my condo down to my storage locker in the basement.

I am having my condo renovated and needed someone to take about 30 boxes I had packed down to my storage locker. I arranged this job a few months ago and worked with Hussein to accomplish that - he was great to deal with. My son arrived exactly on time as planned and did a great job of moving the boxes and organizing them exactly how I wanted. In fact, he did it better than I was originally thinking. Great service, totally reliable and it makes moving stuff really easy.

Moving and storage

I hired Rent-a-Son to do a two-part staged move. The first part has been completed and I am absolutely thrilled. In less than 2 1/-2 hours, the three efficient, professional and fun movers had the contents of our 750 square foot condo wrapped and in the truck, ready to go to the storage facility. I have moved more times than I care to think about and this is the first time I haven't had to help or do anything other than offer the guys some water.
Bob Mather was my contact at Rent-a-Son and he provided me with clear and concise estimates for the move. The movers were prompt and even when a slight delay crept in, Rent-a-Son called to let me know the movers might be late (they weren't). We have quite a few antique pieces going into storage until we move into our new house and all pieces were wrapped securely and will be kept in a climate-controlled environment. The cost per hour is completely reasonable and now that I've experienced the service, I'd say it's a great deal!
I highly recommend Rent-a-Son.

move to new apartment and storage

We were very happy with the efficiency and care of Luis and Sam which was positively observes by the friends helping with the move. Erika was calming and reassuring when the road was blocked because of a nearby gas leak (cause of a long delay). Keep up the good work and treat the sons well!

Moving

Had a very positive overall experience with Rent-a-son. Chose them as our mover based on high Homestar and BBB ratings. Another factor was the quote, it was the highest of the three we received, but it seemed most reasonable. In the end, based on lots of prework, our move came in 1 hour less than the quote with no surprise costs. I don't see how it could have been done faster without cutting lots of corners. The team worked at a very fast pace and at times were even running back to the house to get another load. Hussein, the sales rep, was great to deal with and very personable - followup call the day after the move. All of the guys on the move team were very polite, helpful and made us feel comfortable with our stuff. The movers only asked us to sign for the time and in out and had nothing to do with billing. This was great as they seemed only motivated to get done quickly and no chance of the dreaded 'pay or else'. All of our family and neighbours were very impressed with the blue shirted team of 'sons'.
