Frequent Questions (FAQs)

A: Yes! Our owners and employees have extensive construction and rental experience, and will give you our best, collective advice about how to accomplish your projects in the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective way. Our team can suggest the appropriate equipment for your projects, and will educate you so you feel secure in the machine’s operation and capabilities before you leave our property. Bring any questions with you, or contact us in advance to assess the best solution for your needs.

For your safety, be sure to investigate any requirements and regulations for your project and the area you are working in. (For example, you’ll need to research city or regional building requirements such as depth for gas line trenches, caisson diameters, etc.)  Any underground projects require a locator’s assessment, so be sure to call 811 before beginning any underground work.

A: Yes, depending on the amount of expertise and equipment required, it is possible to complete projects you may not have imagined possible! While more complex projects should be directed to contractors, having the guidance and training from our knowledgeable staff will be all you need for many simpler projects around your home and yard.

Bring us your questions! If, for example, you have questions about how to prepare your garden for spring planting or how to trim a tree in your yard, contact us so we can give you the best advice on equipment applications and the most cost-efficient tools and equipment for rent. You can easily learn how to operate a garden tiller or pole saw, and many other pieces of equipment, with a few basic instructions.

Check out our Resource Page for instructional videos and books that we recommend. There is a wealth of information available to everyone on the Internet, instructional videos on YouTube, and innumerous books available for Do-It-Yourself projects. We believe there is great satisfaction in accomplishing projects on your own, and we pride ourselves in empowering you to do just that!

A. Yes, we have light delivery options as well as semi trucks that deliver equipment throughout the Pikes Peak Region. We calculate our delivery charges from our location that is closest to your jobsite. This means that overall we can deliver more quickly and less expensively than any other rental company in town. We frequently deliver as far north as Denver, south to Pueblo, east to Limon and west to Breckenridge. One of our strengths is prompt deliveries and pick-ups at reasonable costs. Call us or submit a quote request and include your address or jobsite location to have the delivery cost included in your rental quote.

We also rent trailers and receiver hitches for hauling your own equipment if you have the appropriate towing vehicle.

A: A valid driver’s license is required, as well as a major credit/debit card. (We do not accept checks or cash to initiate a rental transaction. If you prefer to pay cash upon return of the rental equipment, we will refund your initial credit card charge at that time.)  The name on the driver’s license must match the name on the credit card.

A: You can get a general sense of cost from the item prices listed on our website. Keep in mind that these listings do not include required taxes that are specific to your area, fuel, merchandise, optional pickup/delivery charges, and the damage waiver.

A damage waiver covers the normal wear and tear of the equipment during proper operation. For more details, see our Rental Policies.

To get an estimate of your rental costs with the additional charges, please call us.
