Special Considerations

Q- Is your house always in perfect shape?

A-      Nope! I’m human and I’m busy so there are times that things pile up and need to be taken care of the next chance I get. I try my best to put everything in its place before bed and before I leave the house which helps immensely, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen.

A-      Nothing! Please don’t pick up or clean. I want to see your home exactly as you normally live in it. I need to understand why you’re asking for my help and seeing it with my own eyes is one of the best ways for me to come up with a unique plan of action for you. Do not be embarrassed... I’m here to help, not to judge. Better yet, most of my clients just send me some pictures of their spaces and we don’t even have to have an in-person consultation to get started.

A-      Yes! However, I will not make you get rid of anything. I will ask you questions and guide you to make your own decisions with prompts that make you be honest with yourself, though. We will make sure everything you do decide to keep has a purpose and a place and then we’ll work together to donate, recycle or discard anything you decide to get rid of. You’ll just need to make sure to have boxes or trash bags available.

A-      Pretty quickly! I find that most of my clients want to get started ASAP and I book them at my next available appointment which is usually within 2 - 4 weeks of our consultation.

A-      I’m not sure because every situation is different! I will be able to give you an estimate when I see your spaces and learn about you, the current condition, and the desired outcome but there are so many variables that affect the project time that I cannot give a definitive answer.

A-      I have a 3 hour minimum because it would be very difficult to do most projects in less time but am available for up to 10 hours at a time. I work Monday-Friday, typically between 9am and 7pm, project dependent.

A-      It depends! If we’re working in your kitchen I ask that all of the dishes are cleaned and dried. If we’re working in your closets I ask that all of your clothes and linens are washed and dried… but they don’t have to be folded! If you have young children that require a lot of attention, it’s best that you have childcare lined up for them.

A-      I don’t know, yet! I always like to get through the entire space before determining which products, if any, are necessary for you to keep up with the new organization system I put into place. Most of my clients already have so many organizing products around their homes that I end up not recommending they buy more. If I do recommend that you buy something I am happy to show you an example of what I think you should use or I can shop for the product on your behalf. I’ll even come back and install most products for you if you’d like!

A-      Not if you don’t want to! About half of my clients hire me because they simply don’t have the time or the interest in organizing but instead, just want it taken care of for them. Others like to be right by my side the entire time and talk through exactly what I’m doing and why. It works well either way because I ask a lot of questions at the consultation and am able to explain how the project is going to go before the session begins. However, if you need to purge then you do need to be with me for that portion of the project.

A-      Probably not but I don’t compare clients and I try not to discuss other projects in too much depth. Everyone’s circumstances are different but the clutter and complaints are often similar. I always come up with a solution unique to you and your needs but do consider what has and has not worked well in other similar situations.

A-      Not much! I bring a couple pairs of work shoes to make my feet happy (and I sanitize them between clients). I bring plenty of water, snacks and meals for myself. I wear layered clothes to adjust to the temperature in your home, attic and garage. I bring the tools I think I’ll need, including a label maker, in case you want simple labels. I love all kinds of music and will listen to whatever you want if that helps you concentrate while working with me. If you’re not working with me I’ll listen to music or a podcast on my own phone.

A-      Only if something is especially dirty. I will give a shelf a quick wipe down or run the vacuum over a cleared off floor but otherwise I do leave cleaning up to my clients because it’s not the most efficient use of my time on your project. A lot of my clients do opt to clean as I go because they’re excited about the way things look again! The good news is that cleaning will be a lot easier after I’m finished because spaces will be decluttered and you’ll know exactly where to put your items back when you do clean.

A-      Yes! I offer maintenance plans for spaces I have worked on. Life happens! If for some reason you find that you have let your organization get out of control again, I will come back and help you get everything in order but also figure out why the system didn’t work well for you. I’ll adjust the system so that you’ll be better able to stay organized this time around.
