I was lucky to hear about Rent a Son from a neighbour of mine. She raved about the service, so when my "real" son and son-in-law became too busy with their own responisbilities to continue helping me with certain seasonal jobs around the house, I called Rent a Son. This was the best money I had spent in a long time. The young man who came was prompt, hard-working and polite. Luckily, I had made a list of what I had wanted done, because he worked so quickly and accomplished more than I could have imagined. I take advantage of this wonderful service at least twice a year. Each time, the service lives up to, and exceeds, my expectations. I have recommended Rent a Son to many people, all of whom have thanked me many times. Three cheers for Rent a Son! I thank you and my son and son-in-law thank you.

nice work - they were quick to get back to me, quick to arrange a time, kyle and nick (the movers) arrived promptly and the entire move took exactly the amount of time that they estimated (and there was no waiting around or slow-motion moving in order to match the estimated time). they worked quickly, efficiently and were very friendly. thanks, guys.

I had a great experience with Rent a Son. They moved everything in a timely manner and were very pleasant and easy to work with. The only issue I have doesn't have to do with their quality of work and it's that they charged me 1.5 hours of work for them to drive from their office to my location so it's better if you have a larger job for them to do.

Company Response:

Hi Dominic, Thank you for posting the review. We understand your issue with the traveling fee. We have to charge it for all moving jobs so that our movers can be equipped with all the necessary moving supplies, equipment and tools to successfully complete their work. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to helping you again with your upcoming move. Thanks for your patronage!

These are the best movers in Ontario. We were moving from a condo to a house. Julio, Javier and Paul were running just five minutes late to the condo, but called in advance to let me know - very considerate. When they arrived, they didn't know that the condo didn't have an elevator, and the move would involve them going up and down four flights of stairs for every box. They didn't complain - they just got to work. On the other side, they faced some obstacles because the design of our house makes taking furniture upstairs tricky. Still - no complaints. Even when I told them they didn't have to move some things, and that I would move them later, they replied with "no ma'am, it's our job, tell us what we can do to help." What movers are like that?! They took the greatest care with our belongings in both homes. By the end of the move, there was not a single scratch on any piece of furniture or wall in either home. They were incredibly kind, patient and hardworking. They are worth every single penny, and I highly recommend them over any other service. They also come out cheaper than many of their other competitors also listed on homestars (I called and spoke to 6 services before deciding to go with Rent-a-son based on their price and professionalism). By the next day, I had the invoice in my hands with no hidden fees - it was bang on the estimate (Dustin - the president, is gifted for calculating ahead of time what he thinks the move will cost you). Rent-a-son is exceptional in every way. They will be our movers for life.

Having looked at so many moving companies, and getting more confused than ever, I turned to Homestars for guidance. I picked one of their top rated moving companies, and I was not disappointed. I gave Rent a Son my particulars ( move furniture only, no boxes ) and they returned with a written estimate shortly thereafter. Moving day came and they arrived on time, did the job efficiently, finishing within 15 minutes of the original estimate. No problems, no breakage. They made it super easy. Thanks, Dustin, for your professionalism, and your guys did an excellent job. I would use Rent a Son again, and I will look to Homestars for any other projects.

I have used Rent-a-Son many times - to move apartments, to help pack and unpack, to do odd jobs and general help around the apartment, like putting together file cabinets, etc. I have some mobility issues and it is really like having a young "son" around to do these jobs that I have neither the time, patience or ability. I give them a 10 out of 10 rating.

very helpful, polite and thorough young man. Followed all our instructions and did a fine job. this is the fourth time we have used the service, and I will continue to do so throughout the year, for any work we have requiring strong arms and patient work.

Having to move on my birthday was something I was not looking forward to. However, the "sons" from Rent-A-Son made the whole experience relaxed and stress free. From the initial consultation with Erika to the movers packing/moving my furniture, the experience was professional and worry-free for me. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the "sons". They showed up earlier then their scheduled time, and took their time to wrap ALL my furniture. Nothing was damaged during the move. They were both considerate, and I am very thankful for their services. I hightly recommend Rent-A-Son for their professionalism. Thanks again!

I have used Rent-a-Son over the years and have been very happy. They now offer additional services of Gardening, and Moving, Not only were they professional when it came to all the services, whether it was the landscaping, cleaning up the house for moving or the movers themselves I can find no fault with them. They are the upmost professional in all their attitudes and work ethic. You could do no wrong in hiring them to do any job in or around your house. They know their jobs and they do their work without much direction or question, they really know what to do.

The job was on budget as well as on time with the estimate they provided. Both members of the crew were very courteous and professional, and paid special attention to some of the more fragile items. I need to do another move in short order and look forward to working with this company again, and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a mover.
