  • The Right Equipment At A Reasonable Price 5 out of 5 - by Alan C. on Sep 28, 2015 I rented 28" scaffolding for a stairwell ceiling repair. They were very helpful in getting me the right components. The equipment was in very good condition, worked perfect for the job and the price was very reasonable. I've rented various pieces of equipment from them including a skidsteer, hole digger, generator, and a trailer, and all the rental worked out excellent.
