Internal Move

We were having wood floors installed on the second floor of our 3-story townhouse so furniture had to be moved to temporary spaces on the first and third floors. The crew arrived on time, introduced themselves, discussed what had to be moved and where, and then immediately began moving the pieces to their designated locations. There were very large & heavy pieces that could not be moved because there was no place to move them to. They padded these three huge pieces and put them up on dollies, so that the installers could move them around easily. We were so pleased with how carefully they handled our furniture that we have already hired them to come back to move the furniture back to their original places. This was the epitome of a stress free internal move.

Move from condo to house

Patrick's team was excellent, courteous, and patient despite putting in a long day with a bunch of unforseen problems (condo elevator double booked, etc.). They needed reinforcements to get the job done, which we paid for. We haven't seen the final invoice, but unless there is a huge surprise, which I doubt, I would use them again in a heartbeat. We appreciated that Julio, who seemed to be the foreman of sorts, spoke fluent and totally respectful Spanish to my mother in law. They helped bring a stressful day to a successful close.

moving in

My mother just moved in with us and we wanted to make sure she's comfortable so we had all her furniture moved to her new room. Rent-a-Son did a wonderful job. The two guys were super friendly and the move went as smoothly as possible. They put everything where I asked and nothing was damaged so thank you for doing such a good job! I will recommend to all my friends.

Moving

I had heard horror stories about GTA moving companies so I was sure to do my homework. Rent-a-Son is Better Business Bureau certified and won best movers for two years running so that was very positive. When I called for a quote I worked with Erika who gave me an excellent impression of the company for the beginning. She and I worked together to discuss my moving needs without making me feel pressured. The quote she provided was exactly what I was charged -- no hidden fees.

When my two movers showed up (early, I might add) they were so friendly and efficient. I moved to the Beaches in which staircases are very narrow so I was worried some of my furniture wouldn't make it up the stairs but with some fancy footwork they got everything up into my new apartment. My dad who was there to help with the move kept calling them "his sons" and may have even invited them to Easter dinner.

I would recommend Rent-a-Sons to anyone! They made what could have been a very stressful and exhausting experience hassle-free.

Moving services

Contacted company based on positive reviews on Homestars, was not disappointed, they were a pleasure to deal with right from the initial phone call. We used them to move some furniture and boxed items into storage for temporary period. The two guys that came were on time (even 10 minutes early), polite and best of all, quick and careful. They finished the job earlier than estimated and we do not have a single complaint. We definitely plan to use them again and have already recommended them to friends.

Moving Household

This is the second time we have used Rent-a-Son to move within the past 8 months.
Both times we successfully moved a household of 5 within 8 hours, without a single incident, scratch, break, or missing item.
We had a different crew of three guys each move, and both were fantastic. All of them were polite, professional, and enthusiastic. Throughout both moves there were various issues with getting stuff out, getting stuff in, extra work, etc., and all the guys were more than willing to work through and solve the problems.
Unfortunately for us we will be moving again, but we will have one less worry in knowing that the actual moving day will be very easy as we will be depending on Rent-a-Son again.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,700.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
We were very prepared, putting everything possible into boxes and disassembling things ahead of the movers' arrival. We also had all the boxes labelled with what was in them and which room they were to go to. The movers told us this helped tremendously and partially contributed to the ease of the move.

Moving Services for a Corporate Reception

Extremely efficient, friendly and helpful!! The crew arrived right on time and were very professional. The job was done in half the time I would have expected, even when moving some very heavy and awkward items. Would definitely hire the team again for events or personal moving. Outstanding job!

Moving Services

We recently used Rent A Son to move half of our stuff out of a high rise condo and into a mini-storage facility and to take some things to goodwill. They handled the move very well and nothing was damaged. They were referred to us by a friend and we would recommend them as well. We've just booked them for our second move into our new place.
