Frequently Asked Questions

How much will this cost?

We offer complimentary in-home consultations and will provide a customized project quote afterwards.

How long will this take?

Session times vary based on the extent of the project, the volume of items, how quickly decisions are made about items, what you’re able to complete between sessions, and your availability.

What is your service area?

We service Lemont and surrounding suburbs.

Will you clean my house?

Professional organizers are different from a cleaning service. A cleaning service cleans around the clutter; a professional organizer eliminates the clutter.

Offer items to friends and family.
Sell items at a garage sale or consignment shop.
