About 85 percent of Minden homes are single-family detached houses, and the median home was built in 1995, so a Minden pack is usually a full house with a garage and a yard. O'Brien's crews pack the whole home or just the rooms you choose, and the free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
Minden is a small town of about 3,700 people in Douglas County, and nearly all of its housing is detached houses with an owner in them. About 75 percent of homes are owner-occupied, and the median home has 5.7 rooms.

Houses from the 1990s
A home built in the mid-1990s usually has an open kitchen, a two-car garage, a laundry room and a primary bedroom with a large closet. Each of those is a packing job. Kitchens and closets are where a crew spends the most hours, and garages are where the box count climbs.
Because most Minden homes are owner-occupied, they hold a long run of belongings. People have lived there long enough to fill the cupboards and the garage shelves.
Packing before a sale
Many Minden households pack before they list the home. Box packing only lets the crew pack the things you do not need for showings, then move them to storage in wooden vaults until the sale closes. See storage while you sell your home. The crew can also help with de-cluttering and home staging.

Keep daily dishes and clothes out until the move
A pack that matches your time
A full pack covers everything. A partial pack covers the kitchen, the pictures and the rooms you want done. You can also pack the soft goods yourself, such as linens and clothes, and let the crew handle glass and furniture. Your estimator writes the choice into the estimate during the free in-home visit.

The drive from Sparks
Our warehouse is at 2277 Glendale Ave in Sparks, about 47 miles and 58 minutes from Minden by I-580 and US 395. That is a longer trip than the Carson City run, so the estimator visit is scheduled with you ahead of time. Boxes can also be picked up at the Sparks office, which is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
Valley moves and farther
Minden sits in the Carson Valley, and the crew handles the valley towns as one area. See Carson City and the Carson Valley. Moves that leave Nevada go through the Bekins network, and the crew packs to the standard an interstate shipment needs.
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!!!
