Located at 3704 Jonathan Dr. in Bloomington, Master Rental rents construction tools and machinery to handymen, homeowners, and contractors. Through the Tent & Event division, we also rent tents, tables, chairs, and more.
We rent portable restrooms to both the construction and event markets.
Since April 2019, Deron Lavin has owned and managed Master Rental. He brought extensive knowledge of equipment to the company when he was hired as general manager in 2014. Deron's experience includes serving in the Wisconsin National Guard's heavy equipment unit and sales and customer service for Caterpillar and Ditch Witch. He takes great pride in his employees and his community.
Master Rental is easily recognizable within the Monroe County community, serving as a prominent supplier to Indiana University, local community schools, not-for-profits, significant corporations like Cook and Catalent, festivals, and fairs. We indeed take pride in the volume of weddings, graduations, and backyard-type celebrations! Big or small, Master Rental has Monroe County covered for equipment, tents, and now portable restrooms!
