FAQs
How many organizers are recommended?
We highly recommend two organizers since it’s the most cost-effective method. Two or more organizers work much more efficiently and can ultimately save you money. For unpacking projects, we usually offer a minimum of two organizers, depending on the scale of the project.
do you organize during an unpacking service?
We organize and put items away in a tidy manner and we use what you have on hand to help with storing items. For a full organizing service, we can always come back with more products and provide our full system for organizing your space.
What’s the first step in getting organized?
We begin the process with a free consultation. Depending on the project, we’ll either speak to you on the phone and request pictures or offer an in-home consultation. During the consultation process, we’ll discuss your personal needs and help you decide what organizing methods are best for your home.
What are the steps for the entire organizing process?
Although this changes from client to client depending on specific needs, we typically go through a four-part system to sort, purge, organize, and maintain. It’s important to us to ensure the longevity of the project, therefore, we label most storage containers to help keep everything in its place. We also want our clients to be aware that even though they hire us for a specific space, items may need to find their place in other parts of the home.
What should I do with all of the items I’ve decided to purge and/or donate?
Donate, sell, recycle, or trash. We’re happy to donate small items for you. For large items and quantities, we have several recommendations for drop-off and pickup donation centers.
Do I need to purchase organizing bins for the process to be successful?
The short answer is no. We’re happy to be as resourceful as possible and use things that are currently in the home. We also have many recommendations for containers and bins that have stood the test of time and have proven to be successful. We do have a business discount at Container Store. Let us help with the shopping if that’s something you’d like us to do for you!
Do you hang shelving or build large storage items?
We do not offer shelf hanging or building but we work with reliable handymen in the area and can set up times for them to come out and do any building or hanging of products. We can setup free-standing & simple shelving units that fall within our comfort level. We know your time and money is valuable and we try to be as efficient as possible.
How involved do I need to be?
You can be involved as you’d like to be. We typically prefer clients to be a part of the sorting and purging process so we have a good understanding of why you’re holding onto certain items, and we can help you declutter. We can take it from there and do it all with as much of your involvement as you’d like to give, as long as we’re able to ask questions along the way to ensure the best functionality of your spaces.
Why do I need to hire an organizer?
Clutter is overwhelming and deciding where to even get started can be overwhelming as well. A professional organizer knows where to start. We will guide you every step of the way, with no judgment, taking it one pile or mess at a time. Investing the time into organizing your home is hard to do for most busy families, so allowing a professional to do it all is a game-changer.
