Quality Rental

What Quality Rental does

Quality Rental Centers Inc., operating as Quality Rental, is a privately held, family-run rental superstore headquartered at 390 Walcott Street, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Founded in 1969, the company has continuously served Southern New England (Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut) with two principal service lines: (1) event and party rentals — tents, tables, chairs, linens, catering and bar equipment, dinnerware and glassware, climate control, audio/visual, staging, inflatables, games, and concessions for weddings, graduations, and special occasions; and (2) equipment and tool rentals — aerial platforms, loaders and tractors, compaction and earth-moving equipment, air compressors, concrete and masonry tools, generators, lawn and landscape equipment, trucks and trailers, and small-engine repair — for contractors and homeowners. The company combines a physical showroom, an e-commerce catalog with online pricing for most items, and direct delivery and pickup services, supplemented by free event consultation, CAD-based floor plans, and site inspections for tent installations. Tent pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed due to surface, obstacle, weather, and timing factors; standard delivery is included in the rate for ground-level service within truck-accessible distances. Revenue is generated through rental fees (one-time/transactional), labor charges for setup/knockdown services, and delivery, with payments accepted by cash, check, or credit card (subject to a 3% service fee on large credit card charges and a security deposit on all orders). The business is independently owned with no institutional investors, parent company, or public listing identified, and operates with 11-50 employees across its showrooms.
