Local Moving Labour Services
One of our most common requests outside of local moving and long-distance moving is loading and/or unloading storage containers. These containers are offered by a variety of different companies in Toronto and our Rent-a-Son movers can load or unload them for you. These containers are often used for renovation projects, staging homes for sale, and temporary storage. We also offer the service of loading and unloading overseas containers for international moves.
If requested upon booking, our crew of moving helpers will provide thick, quilted moving blankets and any other materials required to properly secure your items. With a wide assortment of moving supplies and equipment available, we have everything covered in terms of protection to minimize the risk of damage to your items while in the containers. Our professional moving labourers will expertly arrange your items to maximize space in the containers and prevent shifting. At Rent-a-Son, we provide the highest level of customer service of any moving company in Toronto and apply these high standards to our container loading and unloading services.
As part of our moving labour service, we can also help you move items within a space. We move single items or rearrange an entire space within your home or building, if needed. Our movers will be sure to take time and care with your pieces, providing blanket wrapping or special packaging options for your fragile items. The crew will lay down floor runners to protect your flooring and will use their extensive skills and experience to carefully manoeuver items within your space. We also offer disassembly and reassembly if you have items that require it.
Even if you do not require the full moving experience with Rent-a-Son, we can load or unload your own truck or rental truck for you. We provide all the supplies and equipment needed and will even estimate the size of truck that you will need. By providing us with the necessary information, we can give detailed and accurate price estimates depending on your requirements. These services for loading and unloading personal trucks and rental trucks are only available in Toronto. Let us take over the hard lifting and moving labour so you can focus on getting where you need to be.

Our estimates are so accurate that they fall within 1% of the actual invoice, on average!
In order to provide you with a detailed and accurate estimate for our services, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your needs prior to your moving day. We will work together to collect inventory of the items you need moved using either an online form or a virtual survey of your home. While we do require you to complete these simple steps ahead of your moving day, it will ensure that we have a realistic and uncomplicated plan that you are happy with. As well, these steps will guarantee we have everything set up in the best possible way to avoid any surprises on moving day — both for you and your crew.
We believe that every great move starts with a great team!
We have an entire HR team dedicated to finding the best people, heavily screening and background checking all prospective employees. Rent-a-Son then takes things a step further by constantly training and upgrading the skills of all movers in the field through our own proprietary training program. Our foremen assume leadership roles to effectively mentor newer employees and help them to be the best in the business. All of our crews are professional and friendly and will make moving day an easy and great and stress-free experience for you!

At Rent-a-Son, we take every precaution to ensure the movers that we send to your residence or office are reliable and live up to our company policies of being honest movers. That is why we make sure everyone we hire passes a vigorous background check.
We have an insurance policy that takes care of both our workers and any damages that happen during a move (which rarely happens). If the labourer is hurt on your property, we make sure they are taken care of.
There is no need for you to rent a truck when you are moving. When you work with us, we cover it all! We have trucks for all our licensed drivers to use, and we do driving background checks for anyone driving company vehicles. You can rest assured that your items are safe when in the care of one of our drivers.
Yes. We have labourers on staff that specifically pack boxes. Choosing to have your boxes packed is a smart idea because it provides a layer of protection. If you pack your own boxes and something falls out because they are packed wrong, we are not liable to cover the damages. If we pack the boxes and something goes wrong, you are covered.
Moving is hard work and tips are greatly appreciated by all our labourers. If you think they provided courteous and hard-working service, you should give them a tip.
The cost depends on a few different things: how much work needs to be done, what time of day/week the work is required for, and what the work entails. We charge an hourly rate for all our services.
Any weekday is a good time. Laborers are also less expensive during the daytime hours. Anything after 5 p.m. incurs an afterhours fee.
It depends on what type of labourer you need. Do you need someone to move furniture around in your home or for packing, furniture assembly, or do you need labourers for an entire move? Call us or request an estimate for more information.
If you want to give them a tip, then cash would be ideal. But you should discuss this with your moving company directly.
No! We can complete all of the above services for office moves or any other type of commercial project. We also offer commercial staffing if required.
We never subcontract our work and our movers are always under employment with Rent-a-Son directly.
