5 stars for sure!!! I used Sappington & Son Moving Inc for my move, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly efficient. They handled all of my belongings with great care.
They were quick and very affordable. I had them move a 2 bedroom apartment within the same city, and managed to do it faster than I had anticipated. Very cautious and courteous of moving my boxes.

Craig walked us through what to expect and how to prepare for the move. Dave was there first thing in the morning to explain the game plan and introduce the crew. The driver Leo was amazing! So knowledgeable, courteous, and very skilled at his job. His crew worked so hard and efficiently the entire day and didn’t slow down until the last box was unloaded. Very much a pleasant experience all around!!
Both experiences were great. I'm particularly impressed with the care they take with furniture, floors and walls. As part of this second move there was a marble table which another mover previously broke into pieces. Bekins handled it perfectly - it's all in one piece!

Father & Son Moving and Hauling did an excellent job moving our furniture and boxes for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.
Good job of installation of a large refrigerator. Quite a challenge to enter the house and move it to its final location. They were very careful to not disturb expensive antique furniture.
