How long does a typical home organizing session take?
Most organizing sessions last 3-6 hours, depending on the size of the space and scope of work. A single room like a bedroom or office typically takes 3-4 hours, while larger spaces like kitchens or whole home projects may require multiple sessions. We work at your pace and can break larger projects into manageable sessions.
Do I need to buy organizing supplies and storage containers?
We recommend waiting until after your initial organizing session to purchase supplies. During the organizing process, we'll identify exactly what storage solutions you need and can recommend specific products. This prevents over-buying and ensures you get the right containers for your space and needs.
What should I do to prepare for an organizing session?
Minimal preparation is needed! We recommend clearing any personal items you want to keep private and having cleaning supplies available. Don't pre-sort or organize - that's what we're here for! Just ensure we have access to the spaces we'll be working on and any storage areas.
Do you help with decluttering and deciding what to keep?
Yes! Decluttering is a core part of our organizing process. We help you sort through items using proven decision-making frameworks, but all final decisions about what to keep, donate, or discard are yours. We provide guidance and support throughout the process with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach.
How do I maintain the organized systems after you're done?
We teach you simple maintenance strategies during each session and provide written guidelines for keeping your spaces organized. Most clients find the systems easy to maintain because they're designed specifically for your lifestyle. We also offer follow-up sessions and maintenance services if needed.
Do you offer cleaning services along with organizing?
Yes! We offer comprehensive organize & clean packages that combine professional organizing with deep cleaning services. This is perfect for getting a fresh start in your newly organized spaces. We also provide standalone deep cleaning services and recurring maintenance cleaning.
Can you help with moving and packing?
Absolutely! Our moving & transition services include pre-move decluttering, professional packing, unpacking in your new home, and setting up organized systems from day one. This service saves time and ensures you start organized in your new space rather than living out of boxes.
