Frequently Asked Questions
How do you begin?
Contact me. I’ll call you, get an understanding of the project, and arrange a free one-hour in-person consultation. During the consultation, I will develop a Plan of Action for each space to:
Establish your purpose and activities.
Understand your vision and goals.
Utilize ideas you have.
Develop assignments and tasks that you need to complete.
Complete an inventory and recommend products for you to purchase.
What is the cost?
$75 an hour. Upon booking, I require a 50% deposit (sessions are typically 3-6 hours). The balance is due at the end of each session. You will have to cover the cost of extra items to complete the project, such as containers and shelving.
How do you bill?
Cash, check, and Venmo.
Do you work outside of Portland?
Yes. I charge $0.60/mile for travel over 40 miles round trip.
What spaces do you organize?
I can organize any reasonable space you have in the house. Within each space, I can organize micro-spaces. For instance, in your kitchen alone, I can organize your pantry, refrigerator, utensil drawers, food cabinets, appliance cabinets, dish cabinets, cleaning supply cabinets, and wine storage.
How long does each project take?
Every project is different. Some may take one or two sessions lasting a few hours, while others require several sessions to complete. I suggest booking several sessions for those more sizable projects over weeks or months.
Will you do the organization for me?
I can. It works one of two ways.
You can set aside donation items before I arrive, allowing me to work while you are focused elsewhere.
Or
If you need help deciding which items to donate, I am happy to help you work through difficult but necessary decisions before I take over the organization process.
Will you clean while you organize?
I will help you wipe down items, but I do not clean spaces.
