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. 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: Homes and rooms - Median rooms per home 5.7 - Single-family detached homes 84.6% - Homes by bedrooms no bedroom: 43, 1: 9, 2: 265, 3: 1,161, 4: 197, 5+: 0 - Built before 1980 16% 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 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](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-while-selling-a-home/). The crew can also help with de-cluttering and home staging. - Pack off-season clothes and extra furniture before photos - Move packed boxes to storage during showings - 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](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/carson-city-and-carson-valley/). Moves that leave Nevada go through the Bekins network, and the crew packs to the standard an interstate shipment needs. ### 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) - [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/) - [Carson City and the Carson Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/carson-city-and-carson-valley/) - [Full packing service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/full-packing/) - [Moving boxes and packing supplies at our Sparks counter](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/moving-boxes-and-supplies/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Packing services in Gardnerville](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville/packing/) - [Packing services in Gardnerville Ranchos](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville-ranchos/packing/) - [Packing services in Genoa](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/genoa/packing/) - [Packing services in Johnson Lane](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/johnson-lane/packing/) - [Packing services in Indian Hills](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/indian-hills/packing/) - [Packing services in Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/packing/) - [Movers in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/) In Minden ## More services in Minden - [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/) - [Long-distance moving from Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/long-distance/) - [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 ## Packing services in Minden questions Still have a question?

September 28, 2025 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! ### Owner's reply Laurie, Thank you for the awesome review! We are glad to hear everything went smoothly, and you were satisfied with the service. We want to also thank you for your business we appreciate you! N Nicole B. June 25, 2025 The crew worked extremely hard and treated our belongings with care. Customer service was outstanding leading up to, during, and after move. Thank you! S Sonia P. 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!!! ## Get your free, in-home moving estimate An estimator visits, walks through everything and gives you a written, itemized estimate.
