You have the option of hiring one or two organizers.  We recommend two organizers for at least the first session. Two organizer packages are more efficient and productive than one, giving you "more for your money." While one of us concentrates solely on you and your needs, the second keeps things moving.

If you are not ready to commit to more than one session, consider beginning with one session to see how things go.  By the end of the first session, we will have a better idea how many more sessions it may take to complete your project goals. We do not provide estimates because there are often unforeseen circumstances that affect it. As we uncover things below the clutter, additional project needs may arise unexpectedly. Additionally, the time it takes to declutter, downsize, and organize the things within your home depends on many factors, including how quickly you can make decisions about what could be removed, the amount of space available to work in, and the overall volume of items you own.

We like to work in 5-hour sessions. We have found this to be just enough to be extra productive while preventing mental and physical fatigue for everyone involved. We typically begin mid-morning working 2.5 hours, take a lunch break, and work another 2.5 hours. We are flexible, though, and can work 5 hours straight through, with a short break somewhere in the middle.

The bigger the package, the bigger your savings, so you will want to consider how big the project is. The more items there are to be sorted or removed, the more time it will take to complete. One room or large storage space typically takes at least one full session. However, multiple small closets may be completed in one session. Kitchens usually take at least two sessions. These are typical minimums, but not every household is the same.

We are unable to give estimates,

but we have a solution!

Every project has too many variables to give an accurate estimate. The time it will take to finish depends on many things. They include the overall amount of clutter (visible and non-visible,) the amount of open space available for sorting and staging, your personal attachment to various items, your personal ability to make quick decisions, and much more. Although every situation is different, we can assess your needs over the phone, and we may, although rarely, request photos to have a better understanding.

If you are unsure how many hours you need, we recommend starting with a 5-hour session with 2 of our organizers. When we arrive, we will take a tour of the home and briefly discuss what your priority concerns are. Once we agree on an area to begin, we jump in. While working at your pace, we learn more about you, your needs, your sentimental attachments, and your ability to make quick decisions.

By the end of this first session, we will have good insight and can better guess the approximate time we think it will take to accomplish your project goals. At that time you can decide how to proceed. You may opt to purchase a larger package or pay just for that day's session, or you may even opt to work with one organizer instead of two in future sessions. We believe in flexibility and only want to work at a pace that is comfortable for you!

All matters are kept completely confidential and will not be shared without your written consent.

We will help you throughout the entire process, however necessary, and we will work with you in a way that will inspire you to take what you have learned onto other areas in your home and life well beyond our working relationship.

Organize My Clutter is pleased to provide you with professional organizing services. We strive to represent your interests efficiently and professionally and to ensure that you receive effective organizing services at the most reasonable cost possible. Our rates and fees are based on business necessities to maintain our growing company and are subject to change without notice.

Cancellation Policy

Weather-related cancellations will follow the decision of local school districts at no charge.

The $100 deposit per appointment day, collected at the time of scheduling, is refundable up to five working days prior to the appointment, and non-refundable if you cancel your appointment five working days or less prior to the appointment. However, the deposit can still be applied toward future work, if the cancelled appointment is immediately rescheduled.

Cancellations made under 1 day prior to the appointment, or missed appointments (“no-shows,”) will be assessed a $150 fee plus any travel/mileage fees.

Additional Costs

Your cost of organizing supplies, product purchases, or outside services, are extra at no additional mark-up to you.

• A shopping fee may or may not be charged based on the time and travel requirements.
• In the event an outside service is hired for specialized construction, repairs, installations, dumpster rentals, etc., we respectfully request the client pay them directly, rather than through us.

Most jobs require bags, boxes, or bins to sort items into categories.

• We keep large handled paper bags on hand for sorting which are also useful for delivering smaller donations. These are provided at no extra charge.
• If you prefer to use them we can provide easy to assemble bankers boxes for $2.00 each, which are suitable for long-term storage in climate controlled areas.
• We also provide 3 MIL contractor trash bags to use for trash and soft donations. If an excessive number of trash bags are used we will charge $1.00 each.
• Donations can also be contained in salvaged boxes you may already have on hand.
• Plastic storage bins are great for any long-term storage and many homes already have them. However, we do not recommend purchasing any ahead of time until we have worked with you for at least one session.
• Pre-purchasing any organizing products can often just lead to more clutter.

Occasionally, decluttering jobs are simply too big for just the client and our professional organizers to handle.

• In these cases, we may need to contract additional help, usually from local young adults or through a temp service. Each additional helper will cost $25 per hour.
• In the long run, having additional helpers will save the client money, because they will dramatically cut down OUR time by assisting in the physical needs of the job, producing much faster results.
