Timp Rental

Timp Rental has excellent equipment and helpful staff. I have rented many things from them over the years and they have always been top-​notch. Their equipment is usually rotated every couple of years, so it is newer, and everything I’ve used has been well-​maintained. Their prices are also competitive, especially considering they have to compete with some «big-​box» stores in the area. It is a family-​owned business and the owners have always been willing to work things out if there are any issues.
I’ve rented skid steers (Bobcats), excavators, trailers, chain saws, boom lifts, generators, pumps, carpet cleaners, shopvacs, tables, chairs, aerators, pressure washers, stump grinders, weed wackers, leaf blowers, and probably some other things. I have also purchased used equipment, moving supplies, and rented moving trucks from Timp Rental. Overall, my experiences have been really good.
I would like to speak to another reviewer’s post regarding weekend rentals. If you pick up something Saturday evening before close, and drop it off Monday morning, you can have it for a good part of the weekend (Saturday evening and Sunday) for the price of one day. That’s a pretty good deal, especially for things without an hour meter. If you get something with an hour meter, I think you get up to eight hours (one day rental) on the meter, but you still get to use it at your own pace over two days for the price of one.
I’m not sure why that user decided to take the equipment for around 72 hours (he picked it up Friday afternoon) and only expected to pay for 24 hours. Of course there was a late fee… probably to cover lost revenues for lost rentals because the customer didn’t keep up his end of the bargain to return the equipment Monday morning.
Also, if you have problems with equipment (all equipment, no matter how well maintained is subject to problems (whether wear-​and-​tear or user error), give them a call to work things out! I had a belt come off while I was using a stump grinder. I gave them a call, and they sent someone out to fix it and credited my time for no additional cost because it wasn’t my fault.
Ok, one more thing. They’re also really good at walking you through how to use the equipment if you’re not familiar with how something works. The employees are familiar with everything they rent and pretty patient with customers like myself who might be trying something out for the first time. They walked my wife through how to start a chainsaw I asked her to pick up for me, and she came home and started it right up in front of me. We’re talking a hard-​to-​start lumberjack type chainsaw. It was pretty sweet!
Anyway, good people, good equipment, good prices. If you’ve got a question, ask! I’m pretty sure it’s in their interest to be helpful and ensure happy customers because they’ve got a lot of competitors. In any case, Timp Rental is my first choice for equipment rental and has been over the last nine years.
