Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m intimidated and/or my space feels too messy?

It's completely normal and understandable to feel intimidated by the idea of welcoming a stranger into your home to sort through your things. I'd love to speak with you to start a conversation; I will not pressure you in any way to commit to anything right away. We can simply chat and keep in touch until you are ready to move forward.

 

What is the duration of each session?

I suggest organizing sessions last between 3-6 hours, and multiple sessions may be required until your project is finished. Once we complete our initial consultation and walk-through, we will develop a project timeline that works for your schedule.

 

How does pricing work?

I provide three primary package levels and hourly organizing services. Following our walk-through and project action plan, I will suggest the most suitable package for you. Opting for a package will entitle you to a discount on our hourly rate. Visit our Service & Pricing page for more details.

 

What areas do you serve?

My services are available in the Maple Grove and surrounding area - up to a thirty (30) minute radius of our Maple Grove location. If you're located outside this area, please contact us to discuss what arrangements can be made.

 

Do I need to prep my space before the walk-through?

I ask that you keep your space exactly as it is – no need to clean or prepare beforehand. This will allow me to evaluate your space and talk about what works (and what doesn’t). I can then create a plan that will make it functional for you. I understand that having a stranger in your space can be uncomfortable, we will provide you with the utmost support throughout the entire process, zero judgements.

 

Do I need to purchase supplies prior to the project starting?

Nope! After we sort and declutter we will assess what is remaining and I can make recommendations on the best organization products to use in the space and/or reuse existing organization products you already have.

 

Do I need to be present during the organizing session?

Depends! The level of client involvement varies from person to person. Some clients prefer to work side by side, while others prefer to be more hands-off and see the final product. Regardless of which approach you prefer, I am happy to work with you to ensure that your needs are met.

 

How does the organizing process work?

I will begin by sorting all of your items, grouping similar items together. Through close collaboration with you, I will help you decide what to keep and what to discard, and offer guidance and support during this decision-making process. Once everything has been sorted, we will determine the ideal location for each item and label them accordingly. I will then follow up with you after a month to check how everything is working and provide additional support, tools, or resources if necessary.

 

What happens to the items I am purging?

I will do a drop off at local donation/recycling facilities after each organizing session as part of my services. I can arrange a dumpster, bagsters, etc. if needed (client is responsible for the cost).

 

How does the payment process work?
I have different payment structures for our services depending on what you require. For package pricing, I require a 50% deposit upon signing the contract, with the remaining balance due at the end of the project. For hourly organizing, there is a minimum of 3 hours payment upfront, and I will charge by the hour afterward. I accept various payment methods including cash, checks, and major credit cards.
