In home moving to undertake renovations

Ive had many good experiences with Rent a son helping with yard work and clean up and their moving service did not fall short either. They found me someone for a same day service and the customer service rep. kept us in the loop as she found us somebody. The young man who came was excellent! Will use them again.

moved furniture into a storage container

I used Rent-A-Son to help move my furniture from my house into a storage container. My customer service worker was upfront, followed up with our conversations, and was not pushy. The workers were on time, worked hard, and courteous. I will likely use them again to help place the furniture back in my home when ready.

Moving services

We were relocating from Toronto. At that time, i was not in a situation to get any immediate help. The rent-a-son guy did a great job in helping me move to my retirement place. He was very patient and kind with me and took care of belongings fine. I appreciate their selfless work! Great job!

Moving furniture within house

We had some heavy and awkward-sized pieces of furniture to be moved between floors. Rent-a-Son sent 2 men the same day we called; they were efficient, careful, friendly, and professional. We will certainly be using this company again.

MOving Support

I have used Rent-a-Son twice this year and both times the young men were personable, efficient and a pleasure to work with. They were proactive in helping me pack up my house and their intelligence and understanding of my needs was most valued. When at the last minute I needed more help than I thought, the sales staff was very supportive and got me someone on very short notice. Their end-to-end electronic process makes working with them a breeze! This company is professionally run and a pleasure to work with!

General labour

The last three months has been a marathon of buying and selling houses and doing renovations on both ends. What a scene! Being able to call in another pair of hands an a strong back at critical times has been an absolute godsend. We got help with everything from yard-word and garage cleaning, to painting and moving. This company offers an invaluable service for reasonable rates.

Moving

This is our second time hiring Rent-a-sons and again we are happy! The first time was in London, and now in Pickering. They did show up a bit late in Pickering, though we did receive a credit for that. They helped us tremendously and worked fast and efficiently. No complaints! We have used "cheap moving" companies before. They pull stunts like quoting one price on the phone, and changing the price once they arrive. In fact, the last time we tried to hire a "cheap Mover", they made us feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, so after 10 mins, we turned them away. Move yourself, get Rent-a-son to help with the big stuff, and use a storage company like "City Centre Storage" in London. You will have a "hassle free" experience and full control!

$300.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Arrive on time. Yes I know, you employ young people. It's the beginning of their career, and they need to learn the importance of timely arrival!!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Use Rent-A-Son!
