About 40 percent of Fallon homes were built before 1980, and the median Fallon home dates to 1985, so a Fallon pack often means an older house with plenty of stored belongings. O'Brien's crews pack the whole home or part of it, and the free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
Fallon, the seat of Churchill County, has about 9,500 residents and 3,800 households. About 51 percent of homes are owned, so rentals make up the other half, and the median home has 4.9 rooms.

Older homes and rentals together
Housing in Fallon runs from older ranch-style houses to newer subdivisions to rentals. Each needs its own approach. An older owned house is likely to hold years of belongings in the attic and garage. A rental is likely to hold fewer large items but has a firm move-out date.
The estimator sees the home first and the schedule second, and the estimate says what will be packed and when.
What a pack looks like in a 4.9-room home
It is a modest house. Two or three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a garage or carport hold most of the contents. Of about 4,600 homes, about 2,160 have three bedrooms and about 1,690 have two. The crew packs smaller homes in a day or two, with cartons sized for the contents.

A long drive to Fallon
Fallon is about 61 miles and 77 minutes from the Sparks warehouse via I-80 and US 50. The estimator's visit is planned in advance, and the packing and loading days are set on the written estimate. See the Fernley, Fallon and Lyon County page.

Packing for military families
Fallon is home to a Navy air station, and many local moves are military moves. Military household goods moving and storage is available, and O'Brien's is DOD approved. Booking goes through your installation transportation office. See military moving at NAS Fallon.
Supplies
Boxes and supplies are sold at the Sparks office, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. The in-home estimate includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes. See moving boxes and supplies.
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!!!
