What should I expect when hiring a home organizer?

As professional home organizers, we specialize in helping you conquer clutter and disorganization. Our approach is rooted in compassion and confidentiality, offering hands-on assistance to bring order to every corner of your home or office. Our experienced organizers begin by assessing your spaces and understanding your unique needs. From there, we craft a personalized action plan to guide you towards achieving your organizational objectives.

Once the action plan is agreed upon, we schedule your project date(s). On the scheduled date, our dedicated team arrives, fully equipped with the action plan in hand, ready to manage every aspect of your project from start to finish. Our ultimate goal is to assist you in decluttering your space and creating intentional, inviting, and organized areas that align with your vision.


Will you clean my house?

We’ll ensure the general area is neat and give a thorough wipe-down of the surfaces within the spaces we’re organizing. It’s important to note that while we maintain cleanliness to a certain extent, our services do not encompass tasks like cleaning, washing, scrubbing, or deep cleaning.


How can I prepare for my home organizing project?

While most of our clients prefer not to prepare for their projects, we do suggest a pre-purge of the space before our team’s arrival if you wish to reduce project costs. If you’ve already eliminated expired or unnecessary items, our team can then focus solely on sorting and organizing the items that are most important to you.


Do you install shelf liners?

Shelf liners serve as excellent safeguards for your cabinets and dishes, ensuring cleanliness and protection. We have a direct partnership with a top-tier manufacturer that specializes in premium shelf, cabinet, and drawer liners. These high-quality liners are meticulously customized to precisely fit the dimensions of your spaces. As part of our service, we’ll expertly install these liners before organizing your areas, ensuring both functionality and preservation.


Do I need to be involved in the process?

TThat depends on your goals for your space. If you’re looking to have a thorough purge and declutter before organizing, we recommend collaborating with our organizers. However, if you prefer a more hands-off approach, we can handle the entire sorting and organizing process. In this case, we’ll set aside items that appear to be expired, broken, or no longer relevant, such as nearly empty shampoo bottles or baby pacifiers from years ago. This way, you can easily review these items and decide what to keep and what to part with. Please be assured that we do not discard anything we believe you may still need or find valuable.


Do you take away donations and trash?

We provide the service of hauling away one car load of donations per day. Please keep in mind that we do not manage garbage disposal. Instead, we’ll bag the trash and place it conveniently in your garage for you to handle on your regular trash pickup day. If you have a particularly large project and need to dispose of substantial amounts of trash or donations, we can offer recommendations for businesses that specialize in handling such disposal.
