Our rental and warehouse teams are paperless, digitized, and optimized to offer the easiest rental experience possible, and zero headaches. Many of our customers are repeat-renters because of our high-quality service.
Lightbulb is here for you. First, we answer our phones 24/7. Second, we dig up thorough answers for customer gear questions. Third, our vans deliver equipment across four states. We provide top-quality crew that’s as diverse as the communities we serve. We open early when customers ask, and we stay late if you get stuck in traffic.
