Moving

We had two "sons" help us fill a pod with our very heavy furniture. They also moved some other heavy articles to a storage space. They had excellent attitudes, worked hard and were polite. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them to unload the pod!

Moving furniture, boxes

As a professional organizer, I often need additional assistance carrying heavy boxes and furniture. My Rent A Sons arrived on the job promptly, were polite, efficient, capable, and friendly. My clients were extremely impressed, and I would definitely use them again. Paula Gardner www.asavvysolution.ca

labour for moving household goods to a storage unit (1 "son" for 2 hours)

A recent car accident made it impossible for me to help my husband move some possessions to a storage unit. I rented a van but forgot to book with Rent-a-Son. In a panic, I phoned Stephanie in the office at 8:30 am the day of my move and she managed to find a "son" willing to show up at 11:00 am. Everything went so smoothly, I can't say enough good things about this company and its employees.

Cleaning - washing walls

John came and cleaned walls and worked really hard for 4 hours. He washed walls with a sponge mop and bucket and cleaned a really difficult fridge. He did a good job.

Moving Furniture

I hired 2 guys for 2 hours to move my furniture from a 1 bedroom unit into a bachelor unit in the same building. They were prompt and friendly and worked fast with little supervision. They brought every last piece of furniture in my old unit and set up my new place as well. I will use Rent-a-Son again and would recommend them to everyone.

Cleaned up the gardens and weeded the flag stone patio

I have 2 teenage children who should have been doing the job of my 'Rent-a-son'... there is no way they would have worked as hard or done such an outstanding job for the cost. We were thrilled with Rent-a-son and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs work done around the house. WELL WORTH THE COST! EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS! Thanks Rent-a-son!

Loading Mi-Box storage container

It's my first move and I was feeling a little anxious about the process as it's not your typical home to home move. My future home is going to undergo extensive renovation so I needed to put my things in storage. After much research I discovered the portable container concept but I still needed movers. I hired Rent-a-Son to load my mobile container and although I only had 3 large pieces to move, plus the coffee table, 7-pc dining set and a mattress, the pieces I do own are quite substantial (in weight and quality) that I didn't feel comfortable relying on family and friends to assit with them. For me, professional was the only way to go and Rent-a-Son exceeded my expectations in their movers' work ethic and super personalities. I hired them for 2 hours with the anticipation of having to finish loading lighter items myself for an additional hour but not only did they get these items loaded, they were done 10 minutes early! So not only was my moving experience painless, but it was actually pleasant! This gal is still grinning and feeling an immense sense of achievement...lol...!! Already looking forward to hiring them for the container unload months from now!!

Moving

I hired Rent-A-Son to help my wife and I move out of our house. The guys showed up on time, were helpful, respectful of my possessions and worked really hard the entire time they were at my house. I would highly recommend Rent-A-Son to all my friends, family and colleagues.

Moving

Sean and Josh arrived 10 minutes early, were personable and even with moving experience under their belts were very open to taking suggestions and taking our lead on the move. I hired 2 sons for 3 hours precisely to do the heavy lifting and that is what they did. The guys worked hard and really made the move go as smoothly as it could have gone.

A big appreciation to Sean and Josh for coming out on a long weekend and working very hard. This is my second move using rent a son and I will definitely use them again. Next job - Yard work.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Both guys in a move need to be able to go the 3 hour distance especially if you hire guys to do heavy lifting. One guy definitely worked twice as hard and it was much appreciated!
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
We hired 2 sons for 3 hours and rented a 16ft cube truck. We also had 5 others (friends and family) helping us and we got the job done in 3 hours. If you don't have extra help please hire the suggested number of sons for the suggested number of hours. These guys know their business very well!
