FAQ
How long will organizing take?
The amount of time to complete the area will be determined by your needs. After you define your expectations for the area and you plan for the possibilities, then we can better determine how long your area will take. We work at your pace and in 3 to 4 hour blocks of time. It goes faster than you think!
Every client’s needs are different – but on average:
- CLOSET: 2 sessions
- GARAGE: 3 sessions
- BEDROOM: 4 sessions
- KITCHEN: 4 sessions
- OFFICE: 5 sessions
Do you make me get rid of my stuff?
NO. We help you decide what is important to you first and foremost. It is through the sorting process that you – the client – decide what stays and what goes. After we have the treasures sorted, we find the best place for them.
If something is to be disposed of, it is you – the client – who makes that decision.
How can I benefit from hiring a Professional Organizer?
A professional organizer looks at things from a different perspective than the homeowner.
- We offer a new or different way of looking at things.
- We offer various solutions for your space.
- We are there to show you systems that work.
- We are there to motivate you. We work as a team.
- We teach you how to maintain an organized area after we leave.
Do you work alone or do I need to be there?
We work as a team. You know what is valuable to you and what you want for the space.
Do you call to remind us of a scheduled appointment time?
YES. Organizers call one day in advance of the appointment to confirm the day and time.
What if I need to reschedule my appointment time?
Please give the organizer 48 hours’ notice if there is a scheduling conflict. If an appointment is not cancelled by 48 hours before the appointment, a one hour charge will be added to services invoice.
How far will you travel to organize?
We live in Pinellas County/Tampa Bay area, so we go by the average of 20 miles or 30-minute travel time.
Do you share any of my information with anyone?
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! We collect information to serve you as a client. Your personal information is never shared.
We may request permission, at the first visit, to use “before and after” photos and testimonials of work completed.* But it is you, the client, who makes the decision.
How does it work?
Give us a call. We listen to what your needs are and set up a preliminary plan of what you want from the space. We make an appointment time for our first visit. When we arrive, we take a tour of the areas you want organized. We work together for our scheduled number of hours. A few minutes at the end of our session, we discuss what went well what we accomplished and what we plan to do next. Afterwards, photos are taken* of completed areas.
If I have a large job or many areas to be organized, do you offer a discount on your fees?
YES – for large jobs, we offer package plans with discounts.
