5. How long does organizing take?
Organizing time varies greatly by space based on the size and how many items are in each space, the amount of desired products to be implemented, and how quickly decisions can be made by clients on decluttering choices. We provide in-home consultations to see each space and provide a more accurate estimate.
Here are some rough guidelines by space:

6. Are products included?
We’ve got you covered when it comes to organizing products! Upon booking, we create a curated list of recommended products for your home and get your approval before ordering (please note that the cost of said products is not included in the organizing estimate). We'll do all the shopping, returns, and then only invoice you for what we actually end up using, plus a 10% shopping fee on the final product amount.
7. Will you make me get rid of all my stuff?
Nope! We always encourage and can coach you through decluttering so that you cull away the excess and have items that you LOVE and use in your home. There’s less visual clutter and it’s easier to find the items you actually use. With that being said, we will never force you to get rid of anything. You know best what is meaningful and useful to you. The final decision is always yours.
8. Will you judge my space?
Never. We pride ourselves on being 100% confidential with zero judgment. It can be nerve-wracking for someone new to see your space, but we’ve seen many homes and are there to help you!
9. How will I maintain the organization after you're gone?
With our home organizing services, we will create organized systems for your home that are functional and maintainable. If you don't have the time or desire to maintain the systems we put into place, we offer household maintenance services. We can visit your home weekly, monthly, or even once a quarter, to give your home a revamp and bring it all back to that perfectly organized state. Household maintenance services options are:
- Maintaining Spaces + Organizing Systems
- Mail + Paper Management
- Laundry Put Away
- Tidying Up Before House Cleaner Visits
- Holiday/Seasonal Decorating and Decor Put-Away
- And More!

What our clients are saying:
"IT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF."
Not only can I take a deep breath in my home, but Hello Simplified taught me a process of decluttering that I have used a handful of times on my own since their visit. They're easy to work with and I have already given their name to several people. You won't regret hiring them!"
