 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Stretch Inc.  We hired a large tent for my birthday function at home.  They were super helpful in guiding me as to the right size of tent, and did a site visit to my home which was really helpful because based on the layout of my party they recommended a bridge over my pool so that traffic flow would be vastly improved.   It was not expensive and made a huge difference!  I also hired some gas heaters from them which worked very well.  The set up and tear down crew were superb.  I will definitely use these guys in future!

The stretch tent was set up on time and looked fantastic, and the collection afterwards was just as smooth and hassle-free. Everything was handled efficiently, allowing us to focus on enjoying our event.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality stretch tent service. Exceptional customer service and a seamless experience from initial contact through to collection. I'll definitely be using them again!
