South Reno and Damonte Ranch has 16,848 households, 68.9 percent of them owner occupied, and the yard in Sparks is 9.8 miles and about 14 minutes away on I-580. Offices here tend to be suites in suburban centers, and a move is mostly a question of getting the floor plan right.
The area has about 41,859 residents at 4,504 feet, on the southern edge of the Truckee Meadows. It grew as a place to live, and the businesses that serve those homes grew with it: dental and medical suites, real estate and insurance offices, tutoring and design studios. Moves tend to involve a handful of workstations, a reception area and a supply room.

An owner-heavy area and what it means
With 68.9 percent of homes owner occupied, South Reno is a settled residential area, and a business that serves it wants to stay nearby. Many moves here are short: a larger suite across the same shopping center or a newer building a few exits down the freeway.
Short moves still need a plan. The estimator walks both suites, counts workstations and cabinets and notes what must be set up first so the front desk can answer the phone on day one.
14 minutes on I-580
The yard is 9.8 miles from South Reno via I-580, which is about 14 minutes in free-flow driving. For a crew, that is a short run, so a move can be split into a morning load and an afternoon set-up with the trucks returning between legs if the job needs it.
Evenings, weekends and holidays are available by arrangement, which suits offices that cannot close during the day. See after-hours moves.
Suites with sensitive equipment
Clinic and dental suites carry equipment that needs a vendor to disconnect and reconnect it. Tell the estimator what is in the suite, and arrange for the vendor on the day. The crew moves the furniture, cabinets and boxed supplies from labeled plans.

Storage, if the new suite is not ready
A build-out can run late. Furniture and files can go into wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, at the Sparks warehouse from $40 per month, then ship on about 2 to 3 weeks notice. See commercial storage.

My family moved exclusively with Bekins when I was young and O'Brien's made it a pleasure to return to this fine local company. I would be pleased to have any members of O'Brien's as friends and highly recommend O'Brien's to anyone needing the services they provide!

Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move.
