Q: Do I have to be around while you organize?

A: It depends on the space. Initially it is helpful to have you present to give direction about what stays and goes, and when we finish we need you present to go over the space, make any changes and have you sign off on it.  Of course, if everything stays then you don't need to be there but we always encourage participation so if you want to be present, we welcome it.

Q: Do I have to get rid of things, and if so, how?

A: In most circumstances you will have to part with items. Many of us hold onto things we no longer use, or are broken. In fact, only 20% of what we own we actually use!  The rest we think we might use...someday. To help get you on the right track, we can go through your items with you and determine what stays and what goes, or you can give general direction about the kinds of items that can go. You have the option of then discarding the items, selling them or donating them. In each case, we have suggestions to help you make the best choice.
 

Q: What forms of payment do you accept?

A: We accept cash, check, Venmo, and Zelle
 
Q: What happens if I cancel a job I have put a deposit on?
 
A: If you cancel a scheduled job, you will not get the deposit returned. It will be kept as a consultation fee.  We do this for two reasons:
1. We have set aside time to organize your space and cannot book anyone else for that time.  If you cancel, especially close to your project date, then we are unable to book someone else and have to return any product purchased for your job.
2. Sometimes potential clients give us a deposit and schedule a day only to later cancel because they have gotten ideas from us and think they want to do it themselves.  This protects us from giving away too much free information.

Q: What are your hours?

A: Generally we schedule jobs to start between 10-10:30am and work for 3 hours max. We do work weekends too at no extra charge, so let us know if that is something you prefer.
And, if the job requires two days, we like to schedule both days at once so you are on the calendar and we can get your job finished faster.
 
Q: Can I use your service as a tax write-off?

A: In many cases you can, but as always check with your tax advisor. If we are organizing a space, like a home office that is used for work, it can.  
 
Q: Are there any former clients I can contact?
A: Yes. We can provide you with references so you may speak with former clients to get a feel of what we do first hand.  We are also listed on Yelp.com, Google, and Angie's List- all provide reviews that were posted by clients.
