Frequently Asked Questions
We know hiring a professional organizer can feel like a big step and you probably have questions before you decide to make the investment. Below are the questions we hear most often from potential clients. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.
Getting Started
-
Click on one of the buttons linked above to schedule a virtual assessment, call us, or text us. We’ll talk about your biggest challenges, what success will look like, and whether we’re a good fit for you. There’s no obligation and there’ll be no pushy sales tactics.
-
We’ll discuss your space, your goals, and your specific challenges. We’ll ask you to use your camera to show us around and then we’ll answer any questions you have. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of possible next steps and a customized recommendation.
-
No, please don’t. It’s helpful for us to see how you really live in and use the space so that we can create recommendations and systems that actually work for your real life.
-
Availability varies but we can generally get clients in relatively quickly.
Services & Scope
-
We help with whole-home organizing and decluttering, individual rooms (kitchens, closets, garages, basements, etc.), move management and unpacking, downsizing, and paperwork/financial organizing.
-
Both. Some clients start with one or two priority areas. Others prefer larger or whole-home projects. We’ll help you decide what makes the most sense.
-
Yes. We offer move management support such as decluttering before a move, packing guidance, coordination with the movers, and unpacking into your new home.
-
Yes. Many clients schedule follow-up sessions to maintain systems or tackle new areas as life changes. Chronically disorganized and very busy clients will often book “tune-up” sessions to help them stay on track in spaces we’ve already organized.
Special Situations
-
Yes. This is one of our specialties. Our team has training in ADHD and chronic disorganization. We design systems that work with how your brain actually functions, not against it.
-
This is one of the classic issues with chronically disorganized individuals. Many of our clients have tried generic advice or previous organizers without lasting results. We focus on simpler, more realistic systems that account for energy levels, decision fatigue, and real household routines.
-
Absolutely. We are proud of our reputation of being non-judgmental. Your home will not shock or overwhelm us. We meet you exactly where you are and treat you and your space with respect.
-
We have specialist training in hoarding and can discuss your specific situation during the free assessment and determine the best approach or referrals if needed.
Pricing & Logistics
-
Pricing depends on the scope of the project, the level of support needed, and the number of organizers involved. You can expect decluttering and organizing projects to start at $800 per room, and vary based on client decision-making and density of items in the space. After the free virtual assessment, we’ll provide a clear recommendation and estimate so you know what to expect before committing.
-
We typically charge by session. Session costs vary based on number of organizers.
-
Not necessarily. We work with what you already have whenever possible, and find that after a thorough decluttering our clients often have a surplus of organizing products. We’ll only recommend products when they will genuinely solve a problem and make the system easier to maintain.
-
We can research and obtain any products needed for the project.
Working Together
-
You have to be present in the home, but your level of involvement can depend on your preference and the needs of the project. The more of your decision-making that is required, the more involved you’ll need to be.
-
Absolutely not. We will, however, make recommendations based on our expertise and experience, and will point out if the decisions you are making will prevent us from reaching your stated goals.
-
Sessions are typically scheduled in half-day blocks that allow meaningful progress without exhausting you (decision fatigue is often a real challenge). We’ll recommend a pace that fits your energy and schedule.
-
This is common. While we won’t declutter and organize other people’s belongings without permission, we can discuss strategies for working within a household where not everyone shares the same organizing style or motivation.
Service Area & Practical Details
-
We serve most of Rhode Island, including Cranston, Providence, Warwick, Johnston, East Greenwich, North Kingstown, and many nearby communities. Contact us if you’re unsure whether you’re in our service area.
-
Yes. We carry appropriate insurance for the work we do in clients’ homes.
-
Most projects will involve a team of at least two organizers. Variations from this standard will be discussed during your assessment.
After the Project
-
You’ll have clear systems in place and guidance on how to maintain them. Many clients feel a significant reduction in daily stress once things have a logical home.
-
Life changes, and systems sometimes need adjusting. We’re available for follow-up sessions or tune-ups when needed.
-
If your donations fit in our vehicles, we’ll take them away to local donation centers. Otherwise, we can arrange for services to pick up overflow donations and trash.
