Moving Company

Rent-a-Son was fantastic!!! They were incredibly professional, organized and careful. NOTHING was damaged, not even the smallest scratch. The Sons were so courteous and kind it was a pleasure spending the day with them. The truck was huge and they were well equipped with tools and blankets and tape etc. The office team was also great to deal with, they were very responsive in answering questions and very accommodating. I will never use another company.

Courteous, Professional, Over & Above Customer Service!

I have now used Rent-A-Son for 2 moves, and I would not only use them again in the future, but I recommend them to everyone I know who is thinking about hiring movers. The crew that did my move were absolutely top notch! Extremely professional, friendly, courteous, and very good at what they do. Hussein is who I booked the move with is also entirely focussed on customer service and willing to go over & above to ensure customer satisfaction. Extremely happy with this service!

Move

This is my second time that I've used their services, and they've exceeded my expectation each time. The movers were friendly, courteous and efficient. The move was completed within the estimated time allotment. The movers handled each item during the move as if it was their own. However, what made this moving experience exceptional was how they took the time to install and arrange the furniture in the new place.

Moving again.

I used Rent-a-Son in 2010 and now I'm on my second move and I had no doubt that I'd use them again. They pulled up my previous estimate and Hussein Sherazi had promptly given me a call. Hussein is who I had dealt with two years ago.

Simply put, they are easy going, personable and above all, professional. Moving companies get a lot of slack, but there are some great ones and this is the best one that I've worked with.

Move to Rent-a-Son Storage and then again to House

OveraLL, I have to say I was quite pleased with the move from our old house into Rent-a-Son storage. A little bit of back and forth regarding prices, time and incorrect invoices, but not such a big deal. The cost for the first part of the move was about what we were quoted and expected. The movers that came in, wrapped everything securely and filled the truck in a reasonable amount of time. Each blanket wrap cost 6.99 per blanket where as other movers advised they were included in there overall price. There was minimal markings noticed on the walls which was to be expected due to the size of some of our furniture. Nothing a little paint couldn't fix. The movers were very polite and mentioned how impressed they were with how ready we were, mattresses bagged, fake plants bagged, etc. I will post again to let you know how the move from storage to the new house goes! Thanks!

What could this company do to improve their services?
1. Placing down roller moving mats over the carpet where the movers need to walk as the workers must for safety reasons wear their shoes. (In my case, we had cream carpets!) 2. Include furniture wrapping in the move as it should be part of the business to want to provide the best protection and service.

Condo Move

My experience with Rent-A-Son was great from start to finish.
Hussein was the point person from first contact and was the same person I was able to deal with when I needed to make changes to my order before my move. He was fantastic. We had some good laughs as he tried to lower my stress level.
The movers Nick and Paul were fantastic..really low key and all business, but so easy going when things went wrong...like the 7 flights of stairs with my couch when the elevator was too small.
They acted like it was nothing out of the ordinary as I felt extreme guilt!
Great experience all around.

Packing and Loading my POD

My experience with Rent-A-Son was outstanding. Linh in customer service was extremely helpful and made great suggestions. Dave & Jeff who helped pack all the glass tables, fragile pieces and beds, etc. were very careful, professional, accommodating & exceeded my expectations. They loaded up the POD perfectly - like a jigsaw puzzle - and maximized the space. I would absolutely hire Rent-A-Son again and recommend them to friends and family. More importantly, I'd ask for Dave & Jeff to be assigned to my next move!

Moving

I hired Rent-A-Son due to the good reviews in HomeStars. I'm glad that I did because Rent-A-Son is the best mover I have ever hired. The "sons" (Paul, Mike and Nick) are efficient, professional, friendly, and helpful. Everything goes smoothly. I know I paid more than an average mover, but it's worth every penny.

move in and out of house

Have used Rent-a-Son twice now for a move into our current rental and a partial move out into our new home. Both times, the fellows were punctual, professional, and efficient. When contacting Hussein to schedule the moves, response time has been incredibly fast. The company is very responsive to all needs (including getting a second copy of a lost invoice) and keeping everything on track and moving... Highly recommend this company!
