West Reno sits about 4.9 miles and 10 minutes from our Sparks yard, partly along I-80, and its homes have a median of 4.7 rooms with three bedrooms as the most common size. O'Brien's crews pack these homes room by room, and 10 free heavy-duty boxes come with the free in-home estimate.
West Reno is the established part of the city west of downtown. The Census figures for this ZIP (89503) count 13,195 households, about 46 percent owner-occupied, in a mix of single-family houses and attached homes. The elevation is about 4,700 feet, and the road to the Sparks yard is a short run east on I-80.

The road east is part of the plan
The distance matters because packed cartons and furniture travel it. From West Reno it is about 2 miles of I-80, plus city streets, to the Sparks end of the route. That is a short run for a local move, which is why a crew can pack in the morning, load in the afternoon and still have time to unload into a vault in Sparks the same day if the new home is not yet open.
Three bedrooms is the usual size
In this ZIP about 4,400 homes have three bedrooms, about 4,300 have two and about 1,600 have four, while about 600 have five or more. A three-bedroom home packs cleanly: a main kitchen, a family room, three bedrooms and a garage. Most of these packs fit into a day or two, depending on the garage and how much is in the closets.
Older homes, years of storage
About 59 percent of homes here were built before 1980, so closets and kitchens are often smaller than in newer homes. The garage tends to be where years of storage pile up: holiday bins, camping gear, tools. Tell the estimator what is there, and the cartons and the hours are planned before packing day.

Packing choices at the estimate
Whole-house pack by the crew
Kitchen and pictures only, with the rest packed by you
Garage and storage areas packed ahead of the move
Box packing only if you will move yourself
When part of the household waits
If the new home is not ready, packed cartons can go into wooden vaults 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft in our warehouse, from $40 per month, until you call. Stored goods are ready to ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice. See how vault storage works.
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!!!
