Dayton in Lyon County has about 15,800 residents, and 88.6 percent of its homes are detached single-family houses, more than almost any town we serve. O'Brien's moves these households from the Sparks warehouse, about 44 miles away via I-580 and US 50.
Dayton has grown quickly along US 50 east of Carson City. The numbers above show a younger housing stock, with a median year built of 2002 and more than half of homes built in 2000 or later, and a high share of owners. Dayton homes are modern, large and full, and they come with garages and yards.

Single-family homes at scale
With 79.9 percent of households owning and nearly nine in ten homes detached, Dayton moves are mostly full-house moves. The median is 5.9 rooms per home, higher than Carson City, Fernley or Fallon. More rooms mean more furniture, more boxes and often a second truck.
The estimator plans crew size from the inventory. A typical Dayton estimate includes the garage, the yard and any play equipment; items that need disassembly, such as trampolines and playsets, are listed on the itemized estimate.
A road with several parts
The route has three pieces: I-580 to Carson City, US 50 east, and a short county road into the neighborhood, as the fact block shows. The drive takes longer than the mileage suggests because of the lower speeds on US 50, so the crew checks the day's schedule before adding a second stop.
New construction and move-in dates
Because so many Dayton homes are new, many moves line up with a closing or a builder's completion date. When the date shifts, a household can put its goods in a wooden vault in Sparks and take delivery when the house is ready. Shipping stored goods needs about 2 to 3 weeks of notice; see storage for Dayton households. Vault storage starts at $40 per month.

Dayton sits near 4,300 feet, lower than Carson City, so snow is lighter but wind is common. Crews tie off open truck doors and shrink-wrap upholstered furniture in wind. Call the office if road conditions change; the winter moving guide has more.
3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.

My family moved exclusively with Bekins when I was young and O'Brien's made it a pleasure to return to this fine local company. I would be pleased to have any members of O'Brien's as friends and highly recommend O'Brien's to anyone needing the services they provide!
