moved from a townhouse to a condo

I am extremely happy with my move with Rent-a Son. The whole process and pricing was carefully explained by Bob. My movers..Aslan, Zvonimir, and Marc worked quickly and efficiently on both ends of the move. I had to make two short stops between homes and they beat me to the new place even though they stopped for gas and had a very short lunch break. They were very accomodating to any requests and the standard response from Marc to my questions was "no worries, we will take care of it". I would highly recommend Rent-a Son and, my crew in particular, to anyone thinking of moving.

Moving services (storage)

As a single mother, I found the thought of moving locations overwhelming. I contacted "Rent-a-Son" and after reviewing over what I was looking for, I secured their services. From the initial contact, the service provided was prompt and friendly and well worth the money.
The 'sons" arrived on time and not only listened to what needed to be moved, but also offered suggestions and asked good questions. They worked the entire time, were polite and took care in ensuring my belongings were packed and wrapped appropriately and secured well in the storage unit.
I would recommend their services to anyone looking to secure such service and will be utilizing "Rent A Son" again for my relocation move in.

Moving

I used Rent-a-Son the middle of July 2012. They were great. The 3 guys were hard-working and very polite. They were very careful with all of my things - even adding extra padding or protection to several things I had already packed. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

small home move and storage

Rentason was timely, professional and accommodating. The truck showed up early, the men had great attitudes and they worked hard and fast. They were extremely respectful of my belongings and even got along great with my 3 year old son. They packed my stuff really well and organized and inventoried my stuff in storage. I highly recommend Rentason to anyone who is moving or needs storage services.

Moved from a large home into a smaller home and packed a large "portable storage container" for us as well.

Moving out of our high-end luxury custom built home with all of its fine finishes was a serious concern for us which we highlighted to our move coordinator Hussein Sherazi. Having had bad experiences with damaged staircases, scraped entry doors or moves that took "forever" and over budget, we knew how to interview our next mover!
This move was our biggest and most complex ever and it came in under budget, under the time alotted and actually took less time to move than our former smaller tudor home.
The crew and crew leader were excecptional. Clean, courteous, and diligently packed and wrapped like it was their own stuff. Hussein explained they have fulltime crews that are corporately trained which explains the difference. Cannot say enough and as a custom home builder, general contractor and construction manager that is keenly aware of the meaning of customer service; Rent A Son delivered (no pun intended)!
Thank you everyone at Rent A Son.

What could this company do to improve their services?
As far as we are concerned; the are doing it all right!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Rent A Son offered us every level of service from packing materials, packing services to pure labour for packing our temporary storage unit. We saved considerably because we did pack and wrap most of the small stuff ourselves. So if you want the ease of unpacking and savings by doing as much yourselves and knowing exactly what is packed where and boxes suitably marked, then combining Rent A Son with this will bring you an experience like none other we have had before. And we don't impress easily!

Movers

I used this company for a move into my condo. I was very happy with them. They were very thorough in understanding my needs and creating a list of what was being moved. I had to change the date of my move a couple weeks before and they were very accomodating. The two movers who showed up were very friendly and very efficient. Everything went smoothly. Overall, there was nothing more I could ask for in a moving company.

moving

We had a great move with Rent-A-Son. The team w asa very professional and more importantly, a genuinely nice group! Dave the manager was very organized, assessed our home and its contents quickly and efficiently and the team got right to work. I honestly did not see the anyone on the crew take a break other than a very short lunch between our two pick up points (which was well deserved, as they worked a 12 hour day!). Dave kept us informed of everything that was going on and he and the other team members were friendly, asking any needed questions and working in a happy, yet very quick manner. They were very thorough in taking care of delicate items and packing the truck to maximize the space.

I was really surprised by how polite and cheerful the guys were able to stay all day, as moving is a great deal of work and we had a LOT of things to move, from two different locations. There was never a moment of grumpiness or static.

Moving is usually a very stressful experience but the day was made a lot easier by the Rent-A-Son crew!! Special thanks and kudos to each of the team members that came. We could tell that they all really cared about their work and were determined to make our move as easy as possible for us, for which we are very grateful.

As foreman, Dave was very conscientous and ensured that we were entirely satisfied with the move. Cody, Dima and Julian worked very hard and the crew all worked together well as a team.

Finally, thanks as well to Patrick Human who was very helpful and professional in providing our estimate and setting up the move. He was very helpful on the phone and via email and made me feel confident that everything was set up and ready to go.

Moving and organizing a school

I am very pleased with the professionalism of Rent A Son. The 2 'son's' I got were careful, respectful and very accommodating. They were punctual and efficient and it was a pleasure to deal with them. As well as the assistance received from the head office was fabulous. This was a last minute booking and they were very accommodating. I would use them again.
