FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge $65/hour for the lead organizer and $55/hour for each additional organizer (when needed). The hourly rate includes time spent in the home organizing and designing, as well as time spent researching and shopping for supplies and decor. Cost of containers and supplies will be at the additional expense of the client. There will be NO additional charge for time spent on returns and donation drop-offs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In most cases, I will do an in-home consultation, prior to beginning the project. This gives me the chance to see the areas that need my attention, and discuss the client’s goals and expectations in person. I can also get an idea of what supplies I might need to purchase, or what items already exist at the residence that I can repurpose. Although each client has different needs, I have a basic template for how I approach each project. For instance, an organizing project will always begin by grouping and sorting, so we can determine total inventory and decide which items can be saved, tossed or donated. I also need to get an idea of whether they might need help maintaining the areas in the future.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve worked with all types of clients, but recently there has been an influx of people who are transitioning from one phase to the next. For example, I have lots of clients who need help downsizing their elderly parents homes, or clients who are switching from large homes to condo-life once their kids are in college. I also have a bunch of young moms who need help combatting their school-aged children’s toys and clutter, plus others who are simply moving and need help with space planning, packing and unpacking.
