NICE GUYS. PRO MOVERS. EVERY TIME.
Are you looking to move heavy, designer furniture? Perhaps it’s time to distribute valuable items from a family estate? Maybe you even need a hefty piece of artwork carefully brought to the auction house?
Whatever your specialty moving needs may be, Rent-a-Son offers exceptional moving services for even the smallest, heaviest, or most delicate of moves. We also provide home staging, furniture rearranging, and furniture removal services.
Let our team of friendly, professional small movers in Toronto help you get your antique collection, valuable item, or specialty furniture to its final destination with ease.
Antiques come in all shapes and sizes, but luckily, we’ve had experience moving just about every kind. From valuable artifacts and ceramic works to grandfather clocks and china cabinets, we know how to cushion it and contain it for the safest of trips.
We can work with you to develop creative crating solutions, such as honeycomb boxes or double-corrugated containers to fit your specific needs and ensure your items are secure. We’ll also inquire about your home layout and the layout of your new destination so that we can plan strategically for any tight corners or small stairwells
A large piece of artwork is an investment and can be invaluable. The last thing you would ever want to happen to your art is a scratch on the frame or a hole through the canvas. Our seasoned movers have worked with large paintings and small ceramic sculptures alike. We understand how to package, buffer, carry, and transport your artwork from Point A to Point B flawlessly.
Whether you’ve just scored the perfect piece of designer furniture from an estate sale or looking to move your piece to its new home, Rent-a-Son can help. No moving job is too big or too small for us. We’ll consider everything – humidity, temperature, home layout, cushioning needs – we prepare for it all. These determining factors will help us create the ideal container and transport format to prevent damage to your designer furniture.
Sometimes your items only need to go as far as the other room or down the hall. While many moving services don’t offer services for such short distances, we understand that even the quickest moves sometimes need a helping hand. Our friendly team of movers is happy to help our clients stage a home or rearrange furniture for a new look.
If you’re looking to sell your house, sometimes you want to declutter and create a clean, open design to woo potential buyers. Our movers will meet you at your home and follow your lead as we help to bring in, move out, or set up pieces of furniture for the perfect home staging. You’ll have items moved out in no time with the help of our decluttering and home staging services.
A simple rearranging of the items you already have also can refresh your space. If you don’t want to move your items yourself or want the extra care and protection our experienced team can offer, we’re happy to come over and do the heavy lifting for you.
Moving heavy, bulky items can be one of the hardest parts of moving. When you overestimate how much room you’ve got in the moving truck or how much weight you can lift on your own, that’s when accidents happen.
Don’t run the risk of damaging something you hold dear. Some items, such as pianos, require more than technicians to help with heavy items—they require specialised expertise. Leave it to our moving experts to wrap, package, move, and deliver your heavy items. We have the appropriate collection of tools and resources to ensure any item, no matter how heavy, gets the proper support it needs as it makes the journey to its new home.
When dealing with your heavy, specialty items, we only ever send our most seasoned and qualified movers to do the job. They’ve received specialised training for this particular type of move and will arrive with all the necessary supplies. A designated crew will do whatever is essential for safe delivery.
Whether you’re in the middle of renovating, selling your home or wanting to get ahead on your move, you sometimes need to make more room for bigger and better things. Rent-a-Son provides our clients with careful furniture removal as well as proper storage, donation, or disposal of your items.
Rent-a-Son movers will make the furniture removal process quick, easy, and painless. If you’re looking for temporary furniture storage, you can rest assured that all of your precious belongings are under the best care in our climate and temperature-controlled storage units. On the other hand, we’re pleased to provide you with the disposal or donation of any furniture you wish to discard.

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!

Most moving companies consider any move with freight under 2,000 pounds to be a small move. Usually, a studio or one-bedroom apartment worth of furniture and belongings would fall into that category.
The best way to move a few boxes across the country would be to use a full-service moving company. You can take advantage of shared loaded moving, and a full-service moving company can find a spot for your boxes on one of their trucks.
It all depends on how much they have to move, but local moves are often less expensive than long-distance moves. Movers can take care of loading and packing your items as well, so the entire experience will be pain-free for you.
You should not pack anything that you do not need. Also, make sure not to pack any cleaning solvents or chemicals, like garden chemicals, and aerosol cans. Do not pack propane cylinders either. We also do not recommend packing perishable food.
If you pack your own items incorrectly, for example, you can overload a box with heavy and easily breakable items; these will not be covered for damages. Our company is only liable for boxes that we have packed ourselves.
We cover almost any items that get damaged in a move (which we are proud to say does not happen often), but there are other extreme cases where we do not hold liability. Familiarize yourself with our insurance policy to know exactly what is covered and what is not.
Movers appreciate tips on any size move.
Moves are charged based on how long they take and how much manpower is required. You will not be charged extra for items having to be moved up or down stairs, but it could take longer because it is more difficult.
You can get the best deals on a moving job during the winter. You can also get a better deal if you choose to move during the week compared to the weekend during any season.
You should send us a message to get an estimate. That way, you know all the costs upfront and there are no surprises.
We do not advise leaving lightbulbs in your lamp while moving because there is a chance they could break. They can easily be packed safely along with your other breakable items.
Rent-a-Son team can handle your small move seamlessly, delivering reliability and value. Our process begins with a transparent and up-front pricing. We strive to provide our clients with the most accurate estimate possible, so there’s no confusion during the moving process.
We are fanatics about planning, and we’ll speak with you in detail about the items you’re looking to move and any other pertinent information. Once we work out the details, we’ll give you an honest quote. We’ll also stay in touch with you throughout the planning process to ensure we’re not missing any critical details.
On moving day, we’ll arrive promptly and in uniform, ready to take care of the rest. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that we take great care to pad and protect everything. We’ll remove your items quickly and carefully, load it up properly into our trucks, and safely deliver it to your new spot. Before we head out for the day, we’ll be sure that everything is complete and ready to go. If you have any concerns, your team’s moving foreman will be there to put them at ease.
