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. or call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) [4.3 on Google · 71 reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/) Family owned since 1941 [U.S. DOT No. 30611](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/licenses-and-authority/) ## Fernley: Homes and rooms - Median rooms per home 5.6 - Single-family detached homes 76.6% - Homes by bedrooms no bedroom: 65, 1: 249, 2: 1,581, 3: 5,553, 4: 1,542, 5+: 151 - Built before 1980 14.1% Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html). Fernley has about 24,000 residents and 8,800 households, and about 72 percent of homes are owned. The median home dates to 2001, and of roughly 9,100 homes, about 5,550 have three bedrooms. ## One in four is not a house That leaves about a quarter of Fernley homes as apartments, townhomes and other attached or manufactured housing, and those need a different plan. The estimator notes stairs, parking and the carry distance, and chooses carton sizes to match. Houses are the larger share, and they bring the garage with them. The packing list for a Fernley family house starts with the garage and ends with the kitchen. ## A town that moves About 16 percent of Fernley residents moved within the past year, a high rate in the Census count. A town with that much movement has a lot of packs on short notice. A lease ending, a job starting or a house closing sets the date, and the crew works to it. Ask about partial packing if you only need part done by a deadline. See [partial packing](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/partial-packing/). - Kitchen packed by the crew - Garage and tools in small cartons - Clothes in wardrobe cartons - Furniture padded and wrapped ## Distance from Sparks Fernley is about 39 miles and 63 minutes from the Sparks warehouse by I-80 and US 50 Alternate. The estimator's visit is scheduled ahead, and packed loads can go on to the new home or into vaults. See the [Fernley, Fallon and Lyon County](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley-fallon-and-lyon-county/) service page. ## Boxes and supplies Cartons, paper, wrap and tape are sold at the Sparks office, 2277 Glendale Ave. The first 10 heavy-duty boxes are free with the estimate and yours to keep. The [packing calculator](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/packing-calculator/) estimates how many cartons each room needs. ## Packing for a long-distance move Fernley households also move out of state. The crew packs for the long trip and makes an itemized inventory and condition report before packing. Long-distance moves run through the Bekins network and are priced by weight. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [FMCSA, Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move) - [Lyon County, Nevada](https://www.lyon-county.org/) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Movers in Fernley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/) - [Fernley, Fallon and Lyon County](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley-fallon-and-lyon-county/) - [Partial packing and box-packing-only service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/partial-packing/) - [Packing calculator: how many boxes you need](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/packing-calculator/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Packing services in Fallon](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fallon/packing/) - [Packing services in Silver Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/silver-springs/packing/) - [Packing services in Yerington](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/yerington/packing/) - [Movers in Fernley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/) In Fernley ## More services in Fernley - [Storage for Fernley households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/storage/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Fernley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/senior-moving/) - [Long-distance moving from Fernley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/long-distance/) - [Office and commercial moving in Fernley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/fernley/office-moving/) Answers ## Packing services in Fernley questions Still have a question?

August 4, 2023 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!!! R Robert B. June 22, 2026 The movers were very professional and took care of my stuff there were no worries and stress free amazing job. M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local.
