Are you planning an outdoor construction project? Whether you are landscaping your own house, organizing a larger private venture, or managing a commercial project, the scope of all the equipment that you will need is enormous. Anyone who has ever worked at any level on a construction project will agree—you have to have the right equipment! For various reasons, many choose to go the route of equipment rental. Here are some tips to keep in mind.

First, make sure that the equipment rental company provides the highest quality equipment. There are companies out there that offer the same old equipment that they have had on stock for years. While they do their best to maintain the equipment, it is bound to break down sooner or later. However, here at CalWest Rentals, we guarantee that all of our equipment is up to date and will be in working order on the day of your project, or we will either replace it or refund your money. (Call us for more details.) We want to remove any unexpected “surprises” or delays on your project.

Second, make sure that you are renting from someone who understands the equipment. For all of us at CalWest, when it comes to equipment rental it is not just a job, it is our business. Therefore, because it is our business, we go out of our way to understand everything about every tool or heavy equipment that we carry — everything from augers to jack hammers or bulldozers to backhoes. We will not rent out equipment without being knowledgeable about that piece of equipment.

Third, make sure that the people you are renting from offers good customer service. Are they available to answer your questions or are they just in a hurry to get you out the door? If you have any questions you will want knowledgeable staff to be able to answer any and all your questions and to help you to make sure that the equipment you are planning to rent is appropriate for your project. A knowledgeable staff will be able to tell you this. At CalWest Rentals we want you to feel like your project is our project, too. That is why we take our 75 years of combined rental experience to work for you!
