We recently had to move our large library and other items into short-term storage. Shawn Magnus, owner of Hendra Moving, was a delight to deal with — he was especially accommodating to us as a non-profit. His team were efficient, helpful and polite — special thanks to Jonathan and Mitchell for a great job! Highly recommended for your next move! https://www.facebook.com/hendramoving
