Storage for Gardnerville households

Gardnerville has about 5,500 residents in roughly 2,800 households and sits at the center of the Carson Valley. It is more renter-heavy than its neighbors, and that mix creates frequent moves with dates that rarely line up.

The rental market in the Valley

Gardnerville's 48.5 percent renter share is nearly double Minden's. Apartments and rental homes turn over often, and a tenant who has found work in a new town may leave quickly.

Storage helps when the next place is not ready, when it is smaller, or when part of the household moves first.

Moves that overlap

The Census puts the share of people who moved in the past year at about 17 percent, compared with about 8 percent in Gardnerville Ranchos next door. High turnover creates demand for flexible dates.

A household might store its furniture for six weeks and have it delivered when the new lease starts. Another might keep it for a year during a deployment or a temporary job.

Getting to the warehouse

Our Sparks warehouse is about 49 miles and 63 minutes from Gardnerville. The crew loads your home and carries the vaults on a single truck.

The estimator confirms the packing day with you, and the office schedules delivery when you are ready, with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship stored goods.

Matching vaults to a rental

Each wooden vault is 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, which holds roughly a room of furniture. Most apartments fit in two to four vaults, and your estimator makes the real count.

Vault storage starts at $40 per month. The vault sizer gives an early estimate you can bring to the visit.

What to have ready

• Your lease end date and new move-in date
• A list of rooms that go to storage
• Any items you want kept out of the vaults
• The address for final delivery

Free estimate and boxes
