5 Reasons to Use Pro Organizers for Unpacking After a Move

6/15/2024

Moving is not your cup of tea. You've been dreading it for months. You've done your best to declutter and pack before the move, but realize in a panic that you have zero plans for when you arrive at your new home. How are you going to do this on your own (and with that never-ending back pain)?

​Today we'll share how our team of organizers will unpack and set up your new home in a functional and maintainable way. Let's go!

Reason #1: Our Unpacking Service Removes the Overwhelm

You've finally arrived in your new home. You want to feel relieved but you're about ready to lose it. Boxes are towering over you and you can't find a single thing you need. Why did you label everything "miscellaneous"?! Then you remember your friend mentioned that professional organizers can do the unpacking for you ... hey, that's us!
​

It's hard to unpack a kitchen when you've just moved and have no energy left. Fear no more! Take the kids to play (or yourself to a coffee shop!) while we work our magic and unpack your home in just a few short days. 

​We'll even create a product list for you, then do all shopping, and make any returns. No buying tons of bins that don't fit your pantry when you get home.

Reason #2: Our Unpacking Service Makes Sense of Your Stuff

When your home is filled with moving boxes and the moving truck pulls away, you may feel lost and don't know where to start. As professional organizers, we make sense of your stuff.

We start with a conversation to learn more about how you labeled boxes. If you labeled boxes generally and they're not in the correct rooms, we'll sort through boxes and make sure they all get to where they belong.

We’ll think critically and use our professional opinions to help decide where we will designate homes for items. For example, you may be tempted to store your bath towels under the sink like you did at your old place (but then have nowhere to store your extra toiletries), when we point out that there’s a perfect hall closet to use as a linen closet! 

We will expertly divvy up toys between playrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. We’ll even help you decorate! Just because you had certain decorations in your office at your old home doesn’t mean they’ll fit nicely in your new home. We do a lot of problem solving to utilize all spaces and find that perfect fit.
​

And don’t forget that we bring in helpful organizing products and take out any donations you no longer want. A new home is a fresh start and could be the motivation you need to say goodbye to that excess clutter.

Reason #3: Our Unpacking Service Prioritizes Essential Spaces

When unpacking, certain rooms are more important to unpack first than others. Who cares if your garage is fully unpacked and organized if your kitchen and bedrooms are unusable?

​When unpacking, our first priority room is usually the kitchen (the heart of the home), then bedrooms/closets, then bathrooms. Everyone needs to eat, sleep, and get ready in the morning. Creature comforts in place will help you enjoy your new home faster.

​If you'd like different rooms unpacked first, let us know and we'll start there. We understand moving has a lot of moving parts (pun intended)! We are flexible and our goal is to lower your stress.

Reason #4: Our Unpacking Service Gets You Settled Quickly

We recommend contacting us a month or two before your move so you can get on our schedule and enjoy your new home ASAP once moved in. We can even start unpacking your home as the movers bring in boxes on moving day.

Even if you’re not sure of the exact day you’re moving, it’s good to get an estimate and idea from us and if you book we can tentatively hold dates for you. We try to be as flexible as possible and can move sessions around once you get a better idea of when the big day is happening (not to mention, we help with decluttering before a move too, which makes the whole process smoother and you’re not paying to move stuff you don’t need).

But it's never too late to reach out! Some clients contact us days or even months after they've moved into their new home. They wanted to do it themselves but quickly realized it was too much to handle alone. They’re going to lose it if they have to live out of boxes for one more week! We will try our best to accommodate you and fit you into our schedule, so it’s always worth reaching out.
​
When unpacking, we like to send in a team of 2-4+ organizers so we're out of your hair as quickly as possible. With a team we can have your main rooms of the home (kitchen, pantry, bedrooms, closets, and bathrooms) unpacked within a couple of days.

​We will work with you to prioritize what spaces you want done first. After those are complete, we’ll tackle the rest of your home until no boxes are in sight. Every closet, drawer, and room will be tidy and calm. You’ll feel at home and settled. And if you only want one or two areas unpacked, such as your kitchen and pantry, that’s fine too! 

Lastly, if you need our help ASAP, there’s always the option to start with a single day with one organizer. This will allow us to schedule you on our next available day (sometimes even the very next day) and get you some relief and progress right away.

Reason #5: Our Unpacking Service Finishes What it Starts

Our organizers don't just unpack your boxes and leave everything for you to deal with. We strategically decide where your items should go and organize it all into maintainable systems. Bins will be labeled, clothes will be hung by type and color, and you'll easily be able to find what you're looking for. We'll do a walkthrough and show you where everything is and make any tweaks you would like.
​

We can create a list of our expert product recommendations for your spaces, do all shopping, and make any returns. We also take any donations away for you, and we have trusted service providers we can recommend for any additional tasks/needs for your home such as handymen.​
