Gardening clean up

I'm always happy with my Rent-a-Son experience. They are always courteous, punctual, pleasant, and very hard working. They take direction very well and do exactly what you ask. In the most recent case, one son did 8 hours of yard work for me ($200 + tax with their spring clean up special) and everything looked great. An overall excellent experience that I will repeat.

Yard work; spring clean up; washing and setting up patio furniture

I used Rent-a-Sons to clean up my garden and wash the patio furniture in preparation for Spring. I found all Sons that I dealt from Rent-a-son to be very professional and courteous. It was supposed to rain. I was pleasantly surprised when I called the day before and was able to speak to a 'live' Son who assured me that they would be monitoring the weather right up until the time of the appointment. The Son was very punctual, polite and efficient. He constantly asked for my feedback and quickly completed each task as asked. I was very very pleased, have already told many people about the experience and will definitely be using Rent-a-Son again in the near future. Good job and a great idea!!

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Have additional "filler" tasks available in case the Son completes the tasks ahead of schedule.

General help

We've used Rent-a-Son several times for a variety of jobs around the house. The Rent-a-Son helpers have always been friendly, helpful and on-time.

We`ve been very impressed by the service, would use it again and would also highly recommend Rent-a-Son.

general cleanup and moving

We were faced with the daunting task of cleaning out my mother-in-law's rather large condo when she moved to a retirement home. Plus we were faced with a tight timeline. The staff at Rent-a-Son were a g-d send to us. They provided us with help very quickly. The staff were punctual, efficient, very hard working and very courteous. We couldn't have done it without their help. We can highly recommend them. Thanks for your help Rent-a-Son

Getting condo in shape to sell

I was a woman "on the verge" because I had a very limited time to transform my clutter-filled
condo into a sale-worthy space. (I had to return to the States due to a family emergency.)
My two "sons" were hard-working, patient, supportive and calm in the face of my being NOT
calm! They dismantled my bed, put together and filled many boxes with my stuff, helped me move
heavy books, hung pictures, brought order out of chaos and kept me sane. Oh, and my condo sold on the very first day. When I return
to Toronto, I will depend on Rent-a-Son to help me prepare for my move.

front and backyard spring cleanup

Rent a son provided professional, courteous service and did all that back breaking work for me. The "son" was punctual, took direction extremely well and even worked without complaint in the rain.

Basement decluttering and cleaning.

We were delighted with the polite and friendly young men Rent-a-Son sent us to declutter and clean our basement. No job was too dirty or too difficult for them and completed with exemplary attitudes.
Organization was professional and on time. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Manual labour

Spring changeover - storage boxes moved to and from apartment locker and locker had to be reorganized. "Sons" did everything asked of them and they made good suggestions as to how the locker should be organzied in a more efficient manner.

garden clean up

John showed up on time. He was a pleasure to deal with. I left him to the garden clean up and when I came home from work the job was done. I would hightly recommend this company to friends and co-workers. Rent-a-Son was referred to me by a friend of a friend, I'm glad I called them.

Digging flowerbeds

I wanted all the sod in my front yard removed to plant flowers and grasses. A tough job that would have taken me an entire weekend to finish. Nick showed up right on time, worked so hard and cheerfully, and had it done in three hours. I will be calling them again in the future and have already recommended them to several friends. Just a pleasant, no-fuss, easy company to deal with,
