Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What if I’m embarrassed by how badly I’ve let things go?
Answer You’re not alone. A lot of people feel the same way.

Professional organizers have seen it all. Their goal is to help you clear the clutter and understand how it got that way in the first place. Once the job is done, they’ll help you change your storing patters so that your room, house, office, etc. stays orderly
Question: So what is a professional organizer and why do I need one?
Answer A professional organizer is trained in helping residents make the most of the space available in their homes or workplaces. They help you understand the costs and risks of having too much clutter around. They also explain the benefits of getting and staying organized
Question: Is purging a big part of the process?
Answer One of the myths associated with professional organizers is that they show up with a dumpster and trash everything. Good organizers will work with you to make sure that the solution they come up with fits with your lifestyle and goals. Nonetheless, purging does play a part of the process, but what goes and what stays is all left up to you.
Question: Is the same system sold to everyone?
Answer No each person, each family, each home, each office and each situation has a unique set of circumstances and needs. So the strategy, design and techniques that are right for you may not be right for a friend or neighbor. .
Question: What sorts of spaces can be organized?
Answer Again, that’s up to you and your vision of the space in your home or office. Most professional organizers will work on just about any kind of space, including:

  • Kitchens
  • Dens
  • Bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Craft rooms
  • Play rooms
  • Attics
  • Garages
  • Basements
  • Dining rooms
  • Home offices
  • and of course, Closets
Question: How long will the whole process take?
Answer That really depends on the size of the job and the amount of clutter you’ve accumulated over the years. To offer a frame of reference, however, a 200 sq. ft. walk in closet with a mid-level build out, takes on average about a week, after the design is done.
Question: Do professional organizers have insurance like other home improvement contractors?
Answer If it’s a reputable one, yes, they should be insured.
Question: Do I have to be in available while the space is being organized?
Answer You can usually remain involved in the process as much or as little as you like. But typically, after the designs are approved, you do not have to stay around to supervise.
