FAQs

Why should I hire a Professional Organizer?

Think of an organizer as a personal trainer for your home and lifestyle. Professional Organizers have the education and a special set of skills that allows us to help you with your disorganization. We also don’t have the attachment to or history with the items and spaces you need organized. This allows me to help you reach your goals. Our focus is on you and your organizational goals!

Do you offer services in my area?

Currently, we are able to offer services to clients in The Loop, New Eastside, Lakeshore East, River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square, Lakeview, Uptown, Ravenswood, North Halstead, Roscoe Village, Wrigleyville and Edgewater. If you are outside our current service area, we will gladly refer you to organizers who may serve additional areas.

When do you schedule organization appointments?

Appointments are available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays between the hours of 10am and 4pm CST (and select Saturdays 10am to 2pm CST).

How long will it take to get organized?

This depends on how large the space is that we are organizing, how available you are during the process and how quickly you make decisions on what stays and what goes. Each organizing session is different and each person, home and needs are also different.

Organizing is a process, not an end result.

How do I get started?

How much does organization cost?

All of our clients and their organization projects are unique. We custom quote your project(s) during your On-Site Project Assessment. To get a sense for the amount of organizing time your project may require, please check out the Packages tab. Materials for organizing such as bins, baskets and filing systems vary from person to person. We can help you find great materials to fit your style, lifestyle and budget!

How do I prepare for my organizing appointment?

There isn’t much to prepare. However, if we are working in a closet please be sure your clothing is clean ahead of time. Same goes for a linen closets or kitchen organization. If you have children that aren’t part of the organizing process we recommend getting a sitter so that you can focus of the project.

What happens on the day of the organizing appointment?

The day is finally here! Your organizer will arrive with my supplies and we will jump right in. We will sort and edit and finally organized your items into your existing storage bins or new ones that were purchased based on our recommendations.

Will you help me dispose of unwanted items?

YES! Your organizer can assist with removal of small items (clothing, household decor, toys, small appliances, etc) that can be easily donated to a local charity and will send you the donation receipt. For larger items or large quantity of items, they can recommend organizations that will pick up for a small fee at your location. They can also recommend organizations for electronic recycling and other items that should not go into the regular trash or may not be accepted by a local charity.
