How much do you charge?

On-site Consultation: $100 (more info about on-site consultations)
Off-site Consultation: $50 (more info about off-site consultations)
T
ransformation plan: $100 per hour (average 2.5 hours) (more info)
Hourly work: $100 an hour (two organizers, two hour minimum)

On-Site Consultations
Consultations take approximately one hour.  We come to your home or office, look at the space, talk with you about what you want, and make our best recommendations for how to solve your problem and help you achieve the organization you desire.  If you hire us to create a transformation plan, we will spend an additional 30 minutes to an hour going through a detailed interview with you so that we understand exactly what you want and need.  We'll also measure and photograph your space.

You can purchase a transformation plan and do the work yourself, or you can hire us to help you do the work.  For some projects, a plan is essential.  In other cases, it's simpler and more economical if we just work with you for as many hours as it takes to complete the job.

Which approach is best for you depends entirely on your unique needs.  If you're really serious about getting organized but can't afford these rates, please call or email and we'll talk.

Off-Site Consultations
We meet you at a place other than your home or office to discuss your organizing project.  These sessions usually take 30-45 minutes.

To prepare, give yourself time to compile and bring to our meeting:
--Photos of the area(s) needing work.
--Filled out questionnaire (we will provide).
--Your personal list of concerns.  Prioritize them if you can.

We will look over your materials, listen to you talk about what you want and need to talk about in relation to your project(s), and give you our best input, advice, and ideas. 


Will I know what the whole job will cost before we start?

We will try to give you an accurate estimate, and we will keep you informed as we work if we think we need more or less time. We will not work more than the hours we’ve agreed to without consulting with you first.

Do your rates include supplies I may need to complete the job?
You will have to purchase any furniture, shelving, storage, painting, or other supplies necessary to finish the job. However, we focus on working with what you already have and on staying within your budget. It is entirely up to you how much you want to spend on additional supplies.

Why should I hire an organizer?
In addition to doing the physical work of organizing, we are your personal coaches to provide that extra nudge to finally "get it done", the motivation to keep going when the job gets tough, and the creative vision to see past the roadblocks that may have kept you from starting or completing your project(s).

Organizing is ultimately a creative process. We will share our creativity with you, and we hope to encourage your creativity as well. Our goal with every project is to empower and educate our clients. We’ll be delighted if you learn so much from working with us that you don’t need to hire us again!

So what exactly do you do?
Whatever it takes to help you get your space organized.  We bring tools, cleaning supplies, a label maker, and space in our vehicle to take away your donations, trash, and recycling.  We take everything out of the space we're working in (in stages if necessary), help you sort it into "keep", "trash", "donate", "recycle", and any other categories we come up with.  We clean the space we emptied, rearrange or install new storage tools or furniture if needed, and then put everything away.  As we work, we also apply creative on-the-spot problem solving, help you make decisions about what to keep and what to let go of, and teach you organizing skills and principles. 

Together, we can accomplish more in one day than you ever imagined was possible!
