White-glove furniture delivery in Old Southwest Reno

Old Southwest Reno is the 89509 ZIP code, about 35,600 residents in roughly 16,800 households with a median of 5.1 rooms and 56 percent of homes owner-occupied. The neighborhood is known for tree-lined streets and older homes. A delivery to one of those homes means narrow driveways, mature trees and street parking.

Older homes, finer details

A 1975 median build year, with many much older homes, means original woodwork, plaster walls, narrow stairs and sometimes a basement entrance. White-glove delivery takes those details seriously. Doorways are measured, corners protected and floors covered before the first piece is carried in.

Street parking and tree-lined blocks

Mature trees and parked cars narrow the approach to many Old Southwest homes. Tell the estimator which side of the street is easiest, whether a permit is needed and if the driveway fits a truck. A short walk from the truck to the door calls for more carries, which is planned for in the estimate.

Heirlooms and furniture with history

Higher-value older homes often hold antiques and family pieces. O'Brien's wraps and moves fine art and antiques, and the same care applies to a delivery. Furniture can wait in vault storage from $40 per month while a restoration or a remodel finishes.

What protection looks like in an older house

Protection starts at the door. Runners go down on hardwood and tile, corner guards go on the walls at turns, and furniture is lifted rather than slid. Older homes often have a few steps between rooms or a stair with a tight turn, and the crew carries in sections where a piece comes apart. The estimator will ask which surfaces matter most to you, such as original floors or plaster walls, and the written plan names them.
