Moving from 3-bedroom townhouse to 2 separate 1-bedroom apartments on two separate days

My sister and I have moved over five times in the last 20 years and have always had problems with whoever we hired. On the recommendation of a friend I went to HomeStars and checked out a number of companies, read the reviews and contacted them for a quote. In the end we went with Rent-a-Son and have never been happier. Three men showed up for my move on time and took complete control, carefully wrapping all furniture that required it, and moving everything into the truck in record time, always smiling and cheerful. Unloading at the other end went just as smoothly. I couldn't believe how stress-free the day was. My sister was so impressed that she called and asked if the same crew could do her move two days later. I'm not planning on moving anytime soon, but will definitely call Rent-a-Son without hesitation.

Internal Move

I needed my basement emptied, furniture moved to other rooms and boxes to the garage. The sons were polite and enthusiastic. They finished the job in under an hour and a half but were not rushing. They were careful and meticulous. They then asked what else they could do to fill the 3 hour time slot. I had them move some other things and assemble a new piece of furniture. They were quick and they cleaned up after themselves. They were still done before the three hours were up. I will definitely use them again but make sure my list of jobs is longer; they are super efficient.

Move furniture out/out to redo our hardwood floors

We were redoing our floors and had not realized just how much had to be done .... Including moving the fridge and stove and dismantling a TV cabinet and Dinning room table.
The guys arrived on time , moved everything very carefully - storing items in both the garage and and basement. They were very professional and helpful.
We would use them again and will recommend them to our friends

loading a one bedroom apartment into a uhaul truck

I recently used Rent a son and they were awesome, both young gentlement were extremely quick and efficient, I had booked them for a 4 hour job and they took an hour and a half. They were very friendly and quick. After using other movers and been charged and arm and a leg I would use them in a heart beat. They were by far the best and quickest. I would recommend not going for cheap movers that don't care about your stuff. Use these guys they are definitely worth it and definitely worth the price they charged.

Moving from Richmond Hill to cottage country

100% professional A+ service from the initial estimate to moving day. Scott, Jeff, Neil were on time, fast, efficient and super careful not to damage furniture. Office staff contact Patrick H. answered all my questions quickly. I highly recommend them.

Moved 2 houses to our new condo

I never write reviews but felt compelled. Rent-a-son was truly fantastic from the moment I contacted them to plan and get an estimate, to the move and follow up. We had 2 crews and both were fantastic - fast, courteous, very careful and helpful in every way. The 7 guys all had a fantastic attitude about everything, including waiting while we tried to find our locker, and for a fridge contractor to install the fridge.

The great service also continued after the move as there was some damage to the moving dock. The company dealt directly with my condo staff and made arrangements to fix the damage and cover all costs. These guys were truly AMAZING and you cannot go wrong. Ask for Aslan to lead the crew, he was awesome.

Moving

The Rent-A-Son crew helped us pack and move to our new home. We couldn't be happier with their service. The young men were polite, professional, and skilled at their job. They took a lot of the stress out of the process of moving.

Moving between 2 downtown locations

My second time using Rent-a-Son in the last 13 months and they are worth every penny. Easy to deal with and not one damage or problem during the move. My only minor complaint was that I didn't get a call in the days leading up to my move. It was a little nerve-wracking the day of, wondering if they'd show up...but they did, so all was ok :)

Moving, packing and general labour

I can't recommend this company enough. We had them pack our kitchen, help my husband with demolition removal and move our 5 bedroom house of 10 years. I worked with Erica on-line and on the phone to organize our estimates and arrange our bookings. She was extremely helpful and approachable. Ray and Paul did an excellent job packing my kitchen. The movers were incredible. Miles was the foreman and was extremely professional and responsible. Aaron, Sylvanus, Marc, and Dave were also amazing. They were extremely capable, good-humoured and skilled. My moving day was the most relaxed day of the entire process and for that I am very grateful. Everyone should take advantage of the high degree of professionalism this company brings to their work.

Internal moving

I've had the "sons" assist me in a few home projects and they have all been consistently fantastic - on-time, polite, helpful and hard working. I've recommended this company to my friends and they all give Rent-a-son rave reviews.
