O'Brien's runs the estimate, packing and loading for a Minden move out of state, with the Bekins network carrying the shipment. 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/) ## Minden: Who moves in and out - Moved here from another state in the past year 237 - Share of residents 6.4% - Moved from abroad 0 - County Douglas County Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html). Minden is a small town of about 3,700 people, and a share of 6.4 percent means newcomers are easy to spot. Many came for the valley floor, the Sierra backdrop and the open space, then a job, a school or a parent elsewhere pulled the family on. In a town this size a long-distance move is a visible event, and a few clear steps keep it calm. ## Why Minden's inbound share is high The Census Bureau counts about 237 people in Minden who lived in another state a year earlier. Against a population near 3,700, that share is more than that of Carson City or Reno. Minden is the Douglas County seat, and about 74 percent of Minden homes are owner occupied, which tells you many arrivals bought rather than rented. An owner who bought a few years ago and is now moving on holds a full house: furniture bought for the larger space, garage gear, and sometimes a shop. That is the typical Minden estimate. ## The estimate at your Minden door An O'Brien's estimator drives about 47 miles from Sparks to Minden via I-580 and US 395 for the free, no-obligation visit. The estimator walks the house and outbuildings, lists the contents, and writes an itemized written estimate. The visit comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep. ## How the move leaves the valley - The estimator visits and the written estimate is agreed. - The crew makes an itemized inventory and condition report, then packs the rooms you chose. - The crew loads, and the Bekins network carries the shipment to your new state. - Delivery and unpacking follow your written estimate's delivery window. O'Brien's has been a Bekins Van Lines agent since 1955. Read about [the Bekins relationship](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/bekins-agent/) before you book. ## Coming to Minden from out of state For a move into the valley, you book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network. The shipment is delivered to your Minden address, and the crew unpacks it. If your home is not ready, wooden vaults hold the load in our Sparks warehouse, with vault storage from $40 per month. ### 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, Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move) - [Douglas County, Nevada](https://www.douglascountynv.gov/) ### 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 Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/) - [Long-distance moving from Gardnerville](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville/long-distance/) - [How an interstate move works with a Bekins agent](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/how-interstate-moves-work/) - [Bekins Van Lines agent since 1955: what that means for your move](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/bekins-agent/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Long-distance moving from Gardnerville](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville/long-distance/) - [Long-distance moving from Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/long-distance/) - [Long-distance moving from Carson City](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/carson-city/long-distance/) - [Movers in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/) In Minden ## More services in Minden - [Packing services in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/packing/) - [Storage for Minden households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/storage/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/senior-moving/) - [Office and commercial moving in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/office-moving/) - [White-glove furniture delivery in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/white-glove-delivery/) Answers ## Long-distance moving from Minden questions Still have a question?

April 7, 2026 I was so satisfied and impressed with O'Brien. My move went perfectly. If I have another move, it will be O'Brien for sure!! ### Owner's reply WE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR THE MOVE WENT SO WELL!!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know. F Francie H. February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity! M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local. They take great care of your moving needs.
