F.A.Q.

What is a Professional Home Organizer?

A Professional Home Organizer is someone that helps you to overcome clutter and disorganization to make your time more efficient and your life less stressful and happier.

Why hire a Professional Home Organizer?

A Professional Home Organizer not only helps you clear your clutter, but they also create easy-to-follow systems to help keep it that way.  They are there to help you through the entire process or to get “down and dirty” and do everything for you. Your organizer will sit, sort, clean, file, and create a place for everything and put everything in its place to help make your home a better place to live. 

What are the benefits of getting organized?

When there is order in the house there is peace in the home.

How do I get started?

Simply contact me and we will set up a time to meet at your location, and I will give you a quote for the work you would like to have done. 

DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO “CLEAN” BEFORE I COME. This defeats the purpose because chances are you didn’t organize your “cleaning” and it will then take me more time to undo what you did, and start over.

You will tell me the problem you have with the space, what you would like to see changed, and what is currently not working for you. I will  evaluate the space as-is and formulate your custom plan, give you a price, and then schedule your start date.

Do I have to straighten up before you come?

Absolutely not!  This is a judgment free zone.  I realize you are calling for help.

Will you be flexible and able to work around my schedule?

Absolutely!

Will my sessions be confidential?

Your privacy is of utmost importance!  I may ask to take pictures but I never disclose names or identifying attributes.  Unwanted paperwork is disposed of via shredding on-site for your protection.

What are your rates?

My price is based on how many hours are needed to complete your plan. 

What if I only need you for a few hours?

There is a 3 hour minimum. Whether a closet or your kitchen cabinets there is no job too small or too large. Lisa Organizes serves two purposes, we save your time from mundane tasks you simply don’t want to do, and we get you organized to create peace in the home.

What payments are accepted?

I accept cash, and all major credit cards.  A $150 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of scheduling, and job must be paid in full the day before we show up.

Should you need to change your date, you must reschedule with at least 48 hours notice or you lose your deposit. You may reschedule one-time before 48 hours without losing deposit, the second reschedule you lose your deposit.

Do you throw my stuff away?

I will either pack for storage, or take away your items for donations and drop them off on my way out.

Do you provide the items I need for organizing?

I can.  I make recommendations based on your needs. I try to use what you have first, and if we need more, I can purchase that for you and you will reimburse me for said items purchased. If I need to purchase items, I tack on 20% for my time.

Are you insured?

Absolutely!  And any team members I bring are also insured. We protect you as well as ourselves by being properly insured.
