Pressure Washers
Cleaning a driveway, deck or patio is essential maintenance for any homeowner. There are many different types of pressure washers available, and the kind you choose depends on a few factors. Consider the surface area to be cleaned, your budget and your available storage space. If you’re not ready to make a purchase, rent one of our gas or electric models to complete the chore.
If you have a smaller area to hose down, renting a pressure washer is ideal for spring cleaning and the occasional scouring session. For those with limited outdoor storage space, this is a great way to make sure your exterior stays tidy without compromising on quality.
Safety Note: Wear protective gear like hearing protection, safety glasses and work gloves when using a pressure washer.
Carpet Cleaners
The look of your carpet can make all the difference inside your home. A carpet cleaner is designed to tidy up stairs and high-traffic hot spots in almost any room. With the right accessories, it can also clean car interiors. If you want to refresh your carpet but aren’t in the market to purchase your own cleaner, rent one instead.

Ladders
If you’re painting an accent wall, installing a new ceiling fan or cleaning the gutters, a quality ladder will make the job easier. These kinds of projects don't happen as frequently as other home maintenance tasks, so for many people, a ladder rental is the smart option.
All ladders offer access to higher areas in and around the home. Compact fiberglass versions are great for working near electricity. Heavy-duty extension ladders can be used for commercial applications. Either way, the right ladder will ensure your next DIY project is a success.
Utility Trailers
If you need to haul items for a home renovation project, a short-term utility trailer rental is a cost-saving alternative to renting a whole truck. Whether you need a small, open-side trailer for landscape and gardening duties, or you’re looking for a high-side model to transport taller items, we have a variety of options available for rent.
Smaller trailers are designed for lawn chores like mulching and fertilizing. The larger versions can haul cement, stone pavers and building materials. Whichever you need, rest assured that our rental options will help you complete your project.
Tile Saws
If you’re taking on a bathroom or kitchen renovation, you’ll likely need a tile saw. These powerful tools cut floor and wall tiles to the exact measurements required to fit in your space, but they're not the kind of tool most homeowners need on a regular basis.
Renting a tile saw is an approachable option for both novice and advanced DIYers. Lightweight and portable models are available, making transport to and from your workspace easy and fuss-free.
Safety Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, use a 120-volt grounded outlet when operating a tile saw.
The Home Depot Tool Rental Center has a 4-hour minimum rental period, and most items can be rented for a day, a week or 4 weeks, depending on how long you’ll need. Each task is different. Maximize your rental period by planning head and plotting your project timeline. Terms and conditions apply, so stop by your local Home Depot for more detailed information.
