What areas do you organize? We tackle most areas of your home or office: bathrooms, closets, garages, junk drawers, kitchens, offices, pantries, and playrooms. Feel free to visit our Services page to see more information on what we offer. If you don't see what you need, contact us and let’s chat!
Do I need to be present while you organize? Either way works for us! Some of our clients like to be a part of the process, some like us to handle everything, and sometimes it’s a little of both. This is something we can discuss during the 1-hour consultation.
How long does the process take? Every project is different, and many factors impact how long a project takes. Factors include the size of the room, the number of items needing to be eliminated, and the types of items being organized (for example, paperwork and sentimental items take longer than bathrooms and pantries). Not to mention, some clients are quick decision makers while others take a little longer. After the consultation, the Lead Organizer will provide an estimate and will make every effort to stay on track. She will also keep you informed if the process is taking longer than expected so you can pivot if needed.
How much do I need to spend on supplies such as bins, baskets, and other organization systems? Again, every project is different. At the consultation, we will discuss your budget and your vision to find a way to satisfy both. However, please keep in mind that people are more likely to maintain an organized space if they have the right tools and systems to keep it organized. That does not mean it needs to be expensive, but it does need to work. We can also discuss what you already have on hand and what we can put to good use. Some people want to use supplies they already own, while others prefer a fresh start with new, matching storage systems. This can all be discussed at the consultation.
What happens to everything we eliminate? I will take care of it for you so you are left with a fresh, clean space! I will happily to take donations to a local charity and remove all trash from your home. If there are items you want to consign, I can recommend a few local consignment stores where you can take your things when you are ready.
Will The Art of Neat help me maintain my space once it is organized? YES! We love returning to our clients’ homes and offering our Refresh Services.
Will my sessions be confidential? Yes! All consultations, meetings, conversations, and questions are between you and The Art of Neat organizers.
