Backyard clean up, edging gardens, removing tons of rock and wood debris

The subject line doesn't begin to describe the sheer volume of random stone, clay chips, and wood pieces that littered the back yard of a home I recently purchased.

My two rented "sons" had to make their way through the barriers of the Mississauga Marathon to my newlyh purchased Port Credit property (and that was not an easy task as I discovered myself in making a similar drive from my current home). The day could not have been more cool, wet, and dreary, start to finish. The rain never let up for a minute.

Nonetheless, these two guys worked tirelessly to clean up the yard, came and asked me whenever input was needed and then got straight back at it .... I am thoroughly impressed. The weather was truly miserable but in all ways these gentlemen were polite and non complaining and extremely helpful.

I would use this service again in a heartbeat and very likely will! Highly recommended .....

Spring yard clean up

This is the 1st time I used Rent-A-Son.
I booked 2 'sons' for 4 hours for the clean-up of my mother's garden which included raking and bagging.
I had to leave them to work unsupervised and they did an excellent job.

The whole experience from beginning to end was professionally handled.
After sending an email inquiring about rates etc I promptly received a phone call and was able to get all the information I needed and was able to book the afternoon I wanted. The office even called to tell me one of the men would be slightly delayed.
What a relief being able to feel confident about a company. I will definitely use them again.

Moving boxes and furniture from a PODS carrier into an apartment.

On the recommendation of the PODs company we contacted Rent-A-Son. The gentleman we talked to was very accommodating and knew exactly what was needed and quoted us a fair figure for moving furniture from a POD into an apartment.

The young men who were sent from Rentasons arrived promptly at 8 am as needed. They brought with them mats and carpets to cover our own carpet and a trolley to help with the load.

The two young men, well-educated and very polite, emptied the POD for us in exactly the time frame allotted. They were careful with the furniture and boxes and put together the bed and frame without being asked.

Altogether we were extremely pleased with the service provided to us.

Moving Services

We were getting ready for a renovation and needed to clear the furniture out of the space. We called Rent A Son to inquire about their services. I received a call back right away and we were able to arrange the services. Moving day arrived and Rent A Son were here right on time. I was very impressed at how efficient they were. They knew exactly what they were doing and were able to maneuver some very large pieces down a steep set of stairs without damaging the furniture or walls. They moved everything we asked them to and were very happy to do anything we asked. Overall we were very happy with the work and would definitely use their services again. It was worth every penny!!

Office Move

We used Rent-a-Son for our recent office move and highly recommend their services. Moving day went smoothly with the efficient help of Rent-a-Son and we even completed the move ahead of schedule. Great care was taken in loading the truck and all furnishings were well wrapped in protective blankets.

Thanks for a job well done!

Small office move

Very happy with the move. Service was great. The "sons" were polite. Nothing was damaged & the support leading up to the move was excellent. We will be using them again for junk removal. I would use them personally for other services as needed & would definitely recommend them to friends & family.

Moving, yard work, fireplace resurfacing, etc.

I am a single mom, with a new baby. It's difficult to get things done around the house. I have used Rent-a-Son for moving services, yard work and other odd jobs. Every experience has been great. The "sons" are reliable, personable and I feel comfortable that they are going to do the work required.
I have recommended Rent-a-Son to friends who have all had positive experiences. I don't know what I would do with out you!
