I have been renting equipment from American Rental for close to 10 years as I have renovated parts of my old home! They have always given me the best advice and really cared about my success with projects whether I was landscaping, sanding floors, or anything else. They guys are always super nice and smart about the best equipment to rent. If you have any kind of project or just need to rent a truck, this is the place to go. The prices are also so reasonable and I save a lot of money on home projects!🌺
