As the weather gets warmer and winter’s ice and snow fades into chilly memory, we begin to think about opening the house up and doing our spring cleaning. With all of the warm summer months ahead of us and all of the projects we like to accomplish, wouldn’t it be nice to still find the time to enjoy the beautiful weather? Renting equipment you need to accomplish your spring projects and cleanup will ensure that you’ll have exactly the right tools for the job. You also have the expert advice on getting things done quickly and safely.

Whether you need to clean up indoors, outdoors, or get your yard in shape, we’ve got you covered:

Freshening up indoors
Once it’s warm enough to open up the doors and windows, rent a carpet extractor for a deep, thorough carpet cleaning. You’ll be amazed at what a professional cleaner can pick up. For wood flooring, a rented buffer can rejuvenate your floor; removing scuffs and scratches, and with a new coat of urethane it will look brand-new.

 Sprucing up the outside
A pressure washer will quickly remove the dirt, grime, and mildew from the outside of your house. It’s also the perfect tool for cleaning your deck, patio and driveway.

Once you’ve cleaned your deck, siding or fence and find that the time has come for a new coat of paint or stain.

Lawn and garden needs
If you have downed trees or just want to clean up some brush, a chipper will turn all of that debris into useful mulch that can benefit your landscaping. For larger trees and shrubs, chainsaws and tree trimmers are available to rent as well.

Want to get a head start on a beautiful lawn? Begin by renting a de-thatcher (also known as a power rake) to remove the old thatch (dead grass, leaves and stems) that are choking out your lawn. Follow that with an aerator, which will incorporate holes into your lawn, allowing water, air and nutrients to more easily reach your lawn’s root system. As your grass flourishes, rent an edger to finish your lawn’s manicure.

If you want to give your shovel (and your back) a rest, rent a roto-tiller to handle your garden or to prepare an area for your landscaping. If you just need to dig, a power auger is the perfect tool to dig holes for fence posts and deck footings.

Renting the tools you need for your spring projects is extremely efficient and cost-effective. You’ll be using better quality equipment at a fraction of the cost over purchasing, plus you won’t have to store or maintain any of it. That translates into extra storage space in your shed or garage. Once you figure in the added value of expert advice, you’ll see that you’ve got a combination that is hard to beat.

Outside the Orange County Convention Center for the The ARA Show 2020

“It takes more than the right equipment to run a successful business now and in the future.” 

This February, members of our EXPERT RENTAL family attended the ARA Show in Orlando, FL.  The ARA Show is the American Rental Association’s annual convention and trade show for the equipment and event rental industry. It features equipment for construction/industrial, general tool/light construction and party/special event rental segments.  The ARA Show is a closed show, meaning only those involved in the equipment and event rental industry are eligible to register and attend.  With more than 700 exhibitors, rental-specific education classes and social events, the ARA Show 2020 served as a bustling marketplace for products and services as well as a hub for our team to network and learn from others in the industry.

Stop in to our showroom today to see some of the fantastic, new items we brought back from Orlando!

Every year we make them, and its that time, so here we go.

 1- I’d really like to get several projects done at home. I’m thinking about re-doing some plumbing (we’ve got the tools here at Taylor) and laying tile in my mud room (wet tile saw, check.  Floor sander to remove the old glue, check.)  If I get really lucky, the ceiling in my kitchen will be painted (scaffolding, check! Its tall!) .

2- This year, I am going to  have that BIG party I’ve been planning for years.  Maybe it won’t happen because we are too busy doing YOUR parties, but we have so much to celebrate in our lives, and I think that its high time we do so!  Of course I’m going to have a beautiful party tent, one of our CD/MP3/Laptop sound systems, a big grill, definitely a popcorn machine, tables and chairs, some funky lights, and absolutely those racing ponies!  A girl can dream right?   What do you have to celebrate next year?  Keep our website in mind to help you plan your perfect event.

3- I will make sure that you, our customers, are kept aware of the latest and greatest tools we’ve added to our inventory to help you meet your project needs. We are looking at some great stuff……we’ll see what Santa brings.

4- Then there’s all the organizing stuff…. keeping it organized, keeping tidy both here and at home.  Out with the old, in with the new!  We’ve often been complimented by customers by the look of our store.  We use a lot of our rental tools to keep it bright and shining. filled with helpful hints…..and we’re glad you noticed….. and we try to keep our party area seasonal to inspire your creativity.

 5- And finally, our resolution to you. It has been our goal for 23 years to provide Top quality rental equipment, ready for you when you need it, with smiling and helpful assistance at a fair price.  We’ll work even harder in 2015 to keep it so.
