Clearing out basement for an upcoming renovation

We were preparing for renovations in our basement and needed to move everything out and into the garage. I didn't want my husband and our friends to do it (their over 40 backs aren't what they used to be!)so I checked HomeStars for movers. Rent-A-Son had great ratings, and rightfully so. Two young, strong men, Daniel and John, showed up at our home exactly on time, they were extremely efficient (finished early) and very polite. They were also very careful not to cause any damage to my walls or my furniture. I will call them back when the renos are done to move everything back.

Moving furniture, IKEA furniture assembly, odd jobs

I first used Rent A Son to help declutter and move furniture to prepare for a house sale. I have also used them to do a garage clean-up, gardening, and to assemble and install Ikea cabinets. I have always had a very positive experience, with the young men being punctual, hard working, and polite. I will certainly use them again and would recommend them to others.

yard work and general house repairs

The "sons" are polite, energetic, capable and flexible so that no matter what summer tasks needed completing, the tasks were done well and pleasantly. Now that it's time for fall cleanup, they're my first call!

General labour

I was listing my house for sale and had a couple of renovation projects that needed to be completed. I was stretched too thin and running up against my deadline. Generally speaking, if you had time to hire, train and supervise the people to finish something like this, you wouldn't need them. I received a pleasant surprise with Rent-A-Son. Their people showed up on time, worked intelligently, efficiently and independantly. They were intuitive, skilled and capable.

I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Moved & Assembled Furniture

Nigel was prompt, courteous and quick. He carried a 100lb. IKEA dresser (still in box and needed to be assembled) up 3 flights of stairs with ease. He then assembled the dresser and moved the old one into the basement.
If I had paid IKEA to deliver and assemble this piece, it would have cost almost twice the amount. Fast, efficient and professional. I hightly recommend Rent-a-Son.

moving and weeding of lawn

I had a huge weed patch for a front yard. It is not big at all but I did not want to do it. Rent-a-son did a good job of weeding in the time agreed and started on the back as well. Great work.

The movers were quick, pleasant, and got the job done well.

Moving bachelor apartment

$90/hr for two movers & van, which was just the right size to handle moving a small bachelor apartment. Movers showed up promptly on time and worked very quickly, finished right on schedule, no furniture or boxes damaged. Would definitely use again.

Moving

With very short notice, Rent-a-son came through for us with high quality moving support. An on-time, courteous and hard working crew made our move that much less stressful. This is our second time using Rent-a-son and we highly recommend them!

assistance moving contents of house to storage and off site in preparation for renovation

Even though our job was five hours longer than estimated, our crew continued to provide great service. Though obviously tired and worn out by both the work and the heat they stuck with us until the work was done, didn't exhibit any attitude and left the job with a smile. They were amazing.

Tricky move with a heavy sofa bed and many stairs.

Hussein was an amazing customer service rep and he sent us David and Murad. They were professional, charming, friendly and extremely hard working. They loaded a very heavy sofa bed on to the van and tackled the unload with smiles and great energy.
I would use this company over and over again, and will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family. Top notch service.
