Things you should not do when moving include:
● Keeping everything and not throwing away unnecessary items
● Being disorganized
● Getting in the way of movers
● Not giving yourself enough time to pack
When you work with an experienced professional moving company, they can explain their process so that you will feel confident that on the day of your move, things will go smoothly.
Yes. To make the process go smoothly, we can provide you with a checklist of everything you need to do before you move and in what time frame it should be done.
Yes. As a full-service moving company, our movers will move your furniture into any room you request. It is a good idea to check out your new residence beforehand and have an idea of where you want things.
It depends on how much you have to pack. However, it is a good rule of thumb to start packing at least two weeks before the move, so you will have enough time. If you have a lot of items, you may need to start even earlier than that or request packing services, so that the move can be done in a timely fashion.
Packing things in boxes that are not overloaded and making sure delicate items are wrapped and secure will speed up the process. You should also throw away items you don’t need, and do a general cleanup of your entire house before making an inventory of everything that needs to go.
Bags can be convenient because they often have handles and are easy to carry. Boxes work well for square items, such as books, games, and electronics, but caution must be taken not to overload them. Certain items will be jostled around too much in bags and could damage other items. This is where working with professional packers can help.
A good rule of thumb for half a day of work is 20 dollars per mover and 40 dollars for a full day or around 15%-20% of the total cost of the move.
It will depend on how much needs to be packed, but you can rest assured that there is no wasted time working with packers who work full-time packing houses. They know the best way to pack efficiently and quickly, without damaging anything in the process.
It depends on how much needs to be packed and moved, and how far the trucks have to drive. To get an estimate, send us a message, and we will be happy to let you know how much your move is expected to cost.
Although local is the core of our business, we also provide commercial moves, long-distance moves, piano and pool table moves, packing and unpacking as well as moving supplies. If you have any kind of moving need, we can do it for you!
Whether you require a home relocation or an office move, we strongly recommend emptying any contents from your furniture pieces prior to moving day. Furniture is not designed to be moved with items inside and this can cause unnecessary stress on the item. To minimize the risk for damage or misplacement, please remove any loose items from your furniture pieces prior to moving day.
All of our trucks are tracked by the latest GPS technology which our team of dispatchers are closely monitoring at all times. If the crew does take a wrong turn, we will be in contact with them right away to guide them back to the direct route and to your location as soon as possible.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a complicated move with items coming from Toronto up to a rural property. The team at Rent a Son was absolutely amazing! They took such care in packing and wrapping all my belongings. I loved that it was the same crew the next day to do the unload 2 hours away. They took as much care in the unpacking, including helping to move many items into a tight crawl space.Posted on Kerry ReynoldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brock, Carlos and Wealth were a pleasure to work with…fantastic attitudePosted on Larry RomaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have moved with Rent-a-Son twice and both times the experience has been exceptional. This time, my movers were Trayvon and Pritpal, and like my previous "sons" they were efficient, professional, did everything with care, and were patient as I ran into some issues at my new building which had them waiting for a while while I sorted it out. They were incredible and I would not hesitate to recommend them and RAS for your next move.Posted on F Bowman (princessmombi)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rent-a-son are one hell of a team. I recently went through situation which required me to leave my home suddenly. Ericka who was working with me to book a move date to move, as I kept changing locations, was friendly and understanding. She took care and answered all my questions and problems. The movers Ramone and Jowanye are amazing. They were on time, quick, polite, understanding, hard working. They did the entire packing and move in record time and everything was properly secured. Great guys. Will be using them again and will recommend them to anyone.Posted on Matthew ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful team and company to work with. I’ve worked with this company 3 x now and each time was 5 star service. I’ve worked with Fabio and Jowayne this time. They packed like the pro’s they are. They made a difficult and stressful day easy. They were pleasant to work with, considerate, knew exactly what to do, understood our needs very well and worked fast.Posted on SnowdrenchedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Move was flawless. This is my second time using Rent a Son and Ramone and Carlos were amazing! So friendly, efficient, and took great care of my belongs. The move took less than the 7.5hrs booked so I saved a bit of $$. At this point I would always use Rent a Son. Thanks a million!!Posted on KarenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
