AFTER MOVE ASSEMBLY/UNPACKING/HANGING

I just moved from MTL - lots of my stuff was in storage and moving men did NO assembly...just piled boxes in. My 2 'sons' assembled the platform for me ded, desk, dining room table and coffee table and moved all my living room furniture in place.

Home renovation: carpet installation.

The "sons" were careful, hard workers. It was obvious they knew how to handle furniture carefully. They were pleasant, polite young men, willing and eager to take on any assigned task.

Moving help - Loading and Unloading 16ft Cube Truck

I had 2 'sons' help me with my move from a 1+1 condo into a townhouse. The move was pretty rough on both ends, with long treks to elevators, stairs etc. The guys were absolute life savers!! I've done a lot of moves, including 2 cross-country moves and these guys were better than any professional movers I've ever worked with. I made sure everything was packed up and the furniture was wrapped and they helped me get it all on and off the truck. I can't say enough good things about Rent-a-Son. Right from the first phone call to the final invoice, they were exceptional to deal with!

Help with moving

Our rent-a-son was Kori. He was great - arrived on time, and was very professional and courteous. He did everything we asked him to do, and even helped us problem solve a few issues that were coming up as we went about the work. Most importantly, he was very respectful to my elderly father. That gives him the highest marks in my book. We will definitely use this great service again, and we will recommend it as well. Thanks!!

Help with moving

I was moving apartment and wanted to avoid moving companies in Toronto because they all seem sketchy. Instead I rented a U-Haul and got Rent-a-Sons to help with carrying the furniture and boxes. Their service was great - arrived on time, was polite and pleasant to deal with throughout the process, really hard workers and knew a lot about moving (e.g. the best way to loan the truck and tape down dresser drawers). Also they charged additional time by the quarter hour, so when we weren't quite done after the three hours we'd hired rent-a-sons for, we paid for an additional 15 minutes.

Gardening

I love the Rent-a-son service. Next day appointments. Bright, energetic, competent workers. Take supervision well. Perfect for a job you can't get around to or are physically unable to do.

Odds & Ends

I have rented 'son' for various projects and jobs around the house and at work from packing, moving, garage clean-up, yard work, furniture moving, demolition. I have always felt the 'sons' were ready willing and able to complete the work quickly and efficiently.

lawn mowing, weeding

Rent-A-Son is very professional with great staff and customer service. The work done was excellent and thorough. Everything went smoothly right from the moment we called. The only disappointment is that we had thought it was a 'flat rate', but tax is extra. This wasn't clear either by phone, nor on the site.

We booked for 2 hours (which is a different per-hour rate from the 3 hour rate, which I knew in advance) and ended up needing 3.75 hrs. So we could've saved nearly $30 - and tax is extra, which I didn't realize. However, it was an excellent job and pleasant experience - thank you Hussein and Max!

I would suggest to anyone who tries out Rent-a-Son to perhaps allow for extra time and go for the cheaper overall rate, whenever possible, to avoid disappointment.

internal move

I was able to arrange a move within 24 hrs, the guys were courteous, and respectful. The move was finished in less time than expected, and all furniture arrived at the new unit in perfect condition. And my freshly painted walls were unmarked! Elizabeth F, Scarborough
