“Had a pipe break rented a machine to dig very nice workers and great price. We live across the street so they was able to pick up as I had to work the day it was due back. Highly recommend”

“Our company rented several pieces of equipment from General Rental and had a really great experience with them. They were great to communicate with. They were on time, responsive, and flexible, and they were very reasonably priced. Being a company from out of state, it was really great having a local company treat us with honesty and respect. I highly recommend General Rental for all your rental needs.”
“Chris (the owner) goes above and beyond to make his customers happy! General rental is the only place Weddington Concrete rents equipment and tools. Thanks for being such a great business and helping small local businesses succeed in such a crucial way. I highly highly recommend Steubenville General Rental!”
“The best selection of industrial and construction equipment anywhere. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's obvious that this business is well run by a very dedicated and hard working family. Great deals on weekend rentals, especially on heavy equipment (trackhoe, rollers, saws, etc.). Delivery options and excellent advice on all of their products make getting the job done a reality in any situation.”
“Well maintained rentals and great selection of Milwaukee tools with the best prices you'll find. Recommend checking the store before going anywhere else.”
