About 3.5 percent of Minden's housing units are used seasonally or occasionally, a share higher than most of the Carson Valley, so storage here often means goods for a second home. O'Brien's wooden vaults in Sparks start at $40 per month.

Minden is a town of about 3,700 people in roughly 1,500 households, with the Douglas County seat on its doorstep. Only about a quarter of the households rent, which makes this a homeowner town where storage tends to come with a project, such as a remodel, an addition or a retirement move.
The Census counts about 3.5 percent of Minden housing units as seasonal, recreational or occasional-use homes. That sounds small, but it is several times the share in Carson City, and it reflects owners who keep a Valley house for part of the year.
Those owners often have furniture that rotates between homes. Vaults hold the extra pieces in Sparks while the house is closed up or being refreshed.
About 74 percent of households in Minden own their home. Owners tend to store because of something happening to the house rather than a lease date.
A kitchen remodel might need three or four weeks of storage. A sale might call for staging furniture to be swapped out. A family heading for a smaller place might store what is left.
The Sparks warehouse is about 47 miles and 58 minutes from Minden, close to an hour on the road. Crews load on site in the Valley and drive the vaults north in one run.
Check NV Roads in winter before a packing day, since conditions between the Valley and the Reno area can change fast.
Tell the estimator how long the goods will sit and where they will go afterward. If the answer is another house in the Valley, the delivery is scheduled with the office once your date is firm.

Yes. Minden is in the Carson Valley, part of our service area, and the crew loads at your home.
Yes. Some customers store only for a few months, and the vault price is the same service whether the stay is short or long.

I was so impressed with the way the crew handled and packed each piece of furniture for short term storage. They were polite and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a move.

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.
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!
