Only about 10 percent of Dayton homes were built before 1980, one of the lowest shares in our service area, and the median home dates to 2002. Most packs here are newer houses with big kitchens and three-car garages, and the free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
Dayton, in Lyon County, has about 15,800 residents and 5,800 households, and about 80 percent of homes are owned. Of roughly 6,100 homes, about 3,750 have three bedrooms and about 1,600 have four or more.

Newer homes, larger rooms
A house built in the 2000s often has a large open kitchen, a great room, a primary suite and a three-car garage. The median is 5.9 rooms. Rooms like these hold more furniture and more wall decor than older, smaller floor plans, and the estimator counts the pieces that need wrapping, such as sectionals and dining sets.
Where about one in four homes has four or more bedrooms, a larger share of kids' rooms and play areas shows up on the packing list. See the guide to packing kids' rooms.
What the crew packs first
The crew starts with the least-used rooms and works toward the kitchen, so you can live in the house until the last day. A full pack is done in one or two days depending on size, and the labels name the room each carton belongs in.

The drive from our warehouse
Dayton is about 44 miles and 66 minutes from our Sparks warehouse by I-580, US 50 and FAS 650. The estimator's visit is booked in advance, and the packing days are written on the estimate. See our Lyon County service area.

Packing for a growing household
Dayton is a place families grow into. Packs here are often for a move up to a bigger house or a move out of town after a job change. Both get the same packing, and the long-distance version includes an itemized inventory and condition report before packing. The packing choices are on the partial packing page.
Do it yourself, with help where it counts
Boxes and supplies are at the Sparks office, and the packing calculator estimates your count. Many Dayton households pack the closets and toys themselves and ask the crew for the kitchen, the artwork and the furniture.
The two employees showed up on time and were very polite and ready to work. Our quote was 8 hours and they finished in 5 hours. Office staff checked in prior to move and confirmed all details and check in after move to make sure everything was taken care of. Would use this company again for sure!

Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
