This is the third time we have used Rent a Son's moving service in the last year and a half. Each time we had a different crew of three "sons", and each time the move went very well and the guys were very professional. By the third move we were able to get a nice discount and because they now have larger trucks, we actually paid less for our final move than we did for the first two. Also the sales and admin. staff are great to deal with... all in all we enjoyed three relatively easy moves of a household of five within a year and a half and Rent a Son were a huge a huge contributor to that success!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Have an actual consultation with the client about how to prepare for the move. For example, what would be that best way to pack items, save money, etc. I know I am very prepared when it comes to moving, but I am sure other clients could use some assistance when it comes to packing ideas.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Get lots of boxes from the same place (i.e. home depot) so you can quickly and easily pack and stack all your items together. Use smaller boxes for heavier items (books and clothes), and don't be afraid to use one whole large box for larger/bulkier items. Label each box with EVERYTHING that is in it and which room it is to go into. Finally, use as much time as possible to prepare; leaving everything to the last minute means odd items packed together and unlabeled boxes, which makes for a very lengthy "unpacking".

I believe in singing the praises of those who are deserving of them, and Rent-A-Son is definitely deserving! This was hands down the most stress-free, worry-free, and absolute BEST move I've ever experienced. The guys were fantastic - on time, polite, thorough, and fast-moving. We even finished a few minutes early - BAM!! And Hussein deserves a special shout out as he was so helpful and understanding through all my changes and updates to the schedule (I was moving stuff from 3 different cities!). I'd highly recommend Rent-A-Son to anyone who wants to have a stress-free move. Tammy I will definitely be tweeting, facebooking, and singing your praises to anyone who will listen. Keep up the great work!

We hired Rent-a-Son based on their reviews on Homestars. Everyone we were in contact with at the company was very professional and courteous. Erika was very responsive to our questions throughout the quote and booking process. The moving crew arrived on our move day on Dec. 15 fifteen minutes early and promptly started to work. They took great care with our belongings, ensuring everything was properly protected. It was no small task moving us out of 4 story townhouse! In the end the move cost came slightly under estimated due to their efficiency. We are very pleased with Rent a-son's service and would recommend them to our family and friends.

INCREDIBLE...is the best word to describe my experience with Rent -A-Son. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and will spread the word on this top notch company. Our movers (named Justin & Silvio) were very professional, conscientious, swift and also possessed amazing attitudes. Our 5 hour move turned into a 9 hour move...and neither of them flinched. Their stick-to-it-ness was commendable!!! Patrick, the coordinator was also extremely helpful from beginning to end. KUDOS to all!

We were throughly impressed with the service level from start to finish - from the customer service I received from Erika who coordinated our reservation to the 3 movers (Joel, Taylor and Stefano?) who did the moved. They were punctual, personable, hard working and efficient. They wrapped everything up and was very careful with our stuff. It was also completed ahead of schedule. Before this moved, I was very hesitant with moving companies as I've heard a lof of horror stories. I would definitly not hesitate to recommend Rent a Son to family and friends. It was worth every penny.

We hired Rent-a-Son to move our furniture to our new home. I was very pleased when they showed up 15 minutes early, and promptly went to work, laying mats along all traffic areas, and taking a tour and asking specific questions to ensure they knew everything they were doing. Furniture was wrapped and packaged carefully whenever necessary, and the whole job was completed ahead of schedule. Friendly, hard working guys. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

The movers were great, very courteous, spoke excellent English and were very timely. They thought "outside the box" and dealt with minor issues very well. I would definitely use Rent a Son again!

I had Rent-a Son help me move a few boxes and repack them. My daughter also had a few chores to be done in her condo. Adam who was sent to assist us did a commendable job. He was punctual, efficient, personable and courteous. I would unreservedly recommend the company for any help you might need in the house. No doubt, I will seek their assistance in future.

Nice guys, generally careful. Underestimated amount of time it would take to move, but management agreed to revise final bill to both our satisfaction. Drove truck on my neighbor's lawn but company agreed to repair it. Company is committed to doing good work and righting things that went wrong during move.
