I hired Sappington's to move a washer and dryer...they pulled the electric wire out of the dryer. They never even offered to have someone come and look.
Neutral Sappington & Sons Moving Inc Reviews
Might be fine at moving. I wouldn't know. They never called me back. 3 stars for the benefit of the doubt. Assuming that they were unable help me...the professional thing to do would be to call and inform me that they were unavailable.
