Moving

I found Rent-a-Son on HomeStars and called them for a quote to move some furniture within my home. Linh provided me with detailed information about the services that would be provided for the move and the cost. She explained that there is a 4 hour minimum, and when I explained that I only had 5 pieces to move, she suggested that I take advantage of the handyman services Rent-a-Son provides since I would have already paid for the time. She suggested that I make a list of jobs I needed done around the house and send it to her for approval. Thanks to Linh and her advice, I not only got the furniture moved, I also got my dining room table assembled, a blind rehung, and a door rehung. The 'sons', Andrew and Hamed, were very friendly, efficient, and professional. They were very careful with the furniture. I highly recommend Rent-a-Son.

Move and Storage

This is the first time I have moved using a moving company and I was super happy with Rent-A-Son. Everyone was very pleasant and professional throughout the entire process, from providing initial information, scheduling, moving, and storage. The 3 guys who moved my belongings were friendly, considerate, and careful. The move was seamless. I would recommend Rent-A-Son to anyone who is considering using movers and would definitely use them again myself.

Home Move

Two days ago my wife and I moved out of our condo and into a brand new home. I was very stressed to start the day but Kyle and Jamar from Rent-A-Son eased all concerns as they were organized, on time, professional, friendly, and as careful and dilligent as a moving company can get.
I was most impressed with how they wrapped and packed some of the loose items and at no point did I feel I needed to watch over them. The Rent-A-Son service pre and post move were also top notch. Customer Service called me to confirm and talk me through some of the expectations I should have of their team before moving day along with a post moving follow up call to go over everything and provide them with feedback. I would strongly endorse Rent-A-Son as a reliable, affordable company that services you like no other. I have moved multiple times and I have yet to experience a team like Rent-A-Son. If your moving don't hesitate to give them a call because at the very least you will get a friendly voice on the other end.

Move for Stagging our Condo

I have moved several times over the past 6 years and this was by far the best experience I've ever had with a moving company! Zoltan and Nick were on time, professional, well organized, and hard working. To top things off their service is affordable! The moved items from our condo and from another location where we had loaned a family member some furniture. If you're planning a move this is the company you're looking for!!! I can't say enough good things about Rent-a-Son!!!!!

moving

We researched many moving companies and heard through the grapevine about Rent-a-sons. Not only were they fair priced they were helpful and efficient with answering questions and giving us our quotes.
Our move went smoothly and we were so pleased with Rent-a-sons that we decided to use them with another move and recommended them to our parents who used Rent-a-sons too.

Condo move

You hear horror stories about movers from everyone and their barber right before you’re about to embark on hiring a company to help you with a move so let’s just say I was a wee bit nervous. I'm a single girl and was doing this all on my own. Rent-a-Son was a dream team!! They arrived right on time and went above and beyond any expectations I had. I have never seen two men work as hard and fast these two did...and holy smokes they were fast as! I totally recommend them to anyone looking for a good quality moving company!! Thank you rent-a-son for making this move a breeze!

House Move

Heard excellent things about this company from people at my office so we got them to quote. Rent-A-Son provided flawless, tailor-made service, great crew, top quality materials. Everything you need for a perfect move and nothing less. We highly recommend.

Household move

Move went perfectly, office determined the number of guys I required, and came spot on within 20 minutes of the estimates. The gang worked non-stop all day completing the total house move with 2 stops delivers. Furniture was dis-manteled professionally. I would highly reccommend Rent-a-Son to family and friends.

A painless, even pleasant move to a new home!

As a family of four (and soon to be five) we were dreading the hassles that would come from packing up our two-bedroom apartment and moving across town to something larger. We were more than pleasantly surprised, however, to see how quickly, efficiently and politely Justin and his coworkers at Rent-a-Son worked to get us done in a matter of hours. They didn't even break for lunch, but ate on the way over to our new place. They were careful not to ding any doors or walls. They asked us where we wanted things, and then moved them again when we changed our minds, without complaint. All in all, we were very grateful and I'm thrilled to recommend them to other HomeStars users.
