FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are your rates?

Our rates are $80 / hour per professional organizer and projects are completed in teams of 2 or more organizers. For our standard sessions we have a 6 hour minimum per session. We also offer a 4 hour session option for smaller projects or for new clients who want to experience working with us before scheduling longer sessions. After your consultation we will send you a proposal that estimates how long we think your project will take and offer you several service options to choose from.

How much does an average project cost?

A typical project costs between $640 to $3840, not including organizing products, and is based on your space and the quantity of items that need organizing and styling. Keep in mind, these prices are estimates. There are a lot of aspects involved in organizing a space and how long it will take, including the amount of items to sort, edit and organize, how quickly you make decisions during the editing process, how large your spaces are, etc. We do our best to estimate jobs accurately and get the most done in each organizing session, but sometimes we need to add additional time to a project. For some projects we add additional organizers to complete larger projects more quickly.

We offer 30 minute virtual consultations for FREE! If you prefer an in home consultation, the cost is $100.

What sets Simplify Studio Professional Organizing apart from other organizing companies?

• We do it all for you! The only thing we need you for is the editing process and a walk through at the end of the project.

• We believe that a space can be both functional and also look amazing. We place equal importance on organizing and styling.

• We have a team approach to organizing and have a team of 2 or more professional organizers on site for each project session. The number or organizers scheduled depends on availability and project requirements.

• We work in 6 hour sessions.

• In addition to organizing and styling, our service includes project planning, management, shopping for organizing supplies and hauling away of donations and discarded items. The cost of organizing supplies is additional.

What about organizing products?

Once your project is scheduled, we shop for organizing containers, bins, etc., based on your project needs and aesthetics. We take care of all the shopping and returns so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our product placement is intentional, judicious and we reuse any organizing products that you already have whenever it makes sense. The last thing we want to do is add more clutter to your life!

What is included in your estimate for packing, unpacking and organizing services?

If you need unpacking services after moving, the estimate you receive after your consultation will include time for sorting, editing (we skip this step if you did this prior to moving), organizing and styling your space. If you need packing services prior to moving, your estimate will include time for a pre-move declutter and edit (if needed), packing and detailed labeling of your moving boxes. Email and phone support between sessions and coordination of related service providers, such as closet designers and haulers, is also included. Not included in the estimate is time for shopping and returns for organizing supplies and packing materials and haul away of donated and discarded items. We will take care of all of this for you and the time will be added to your final invoice.

When and how do I pay for services and products?

A 50% deposit for services is required to secure a date on our calendar. The remaining 50% is due at project completion. A deposit for organizing products is also due when scheduling your project. We accept all major credit cards (3% credit card fee applies) and E-Check / ACH Bank Transfer (no fee!).

How does donation haul away work?

We take away one carload of donations and discarded items per organizer each day of your project. For larger projects, we bring in a hauler to take away your donations for an additional fee.

Do I need to be there while you are packing, unpacking and organizing?

No, the best part about our service is that we take care of all the details for you! The only part we need you for is the editing process, where we help you decide what you need, love, and use and let go of the rest. We sort, and then micro sort, your belongings so you can see exactly what you have. This makes the editing process super simple. Once that part is done, we take it from there!

Do you pack our moving boxes for us?

Yes! Our team of organizers pack your moving boxes with care.

What if I don’t have time to edit my belongings before moving?

The editing process is best done prior to your move, but we realize things come up and this isn’t always possible. We will unpack, sort, and edit at your destination and get you all settled in your new space.

Do you offer interior design services?

Even though Lisa is an interior designer, we now focus solely on professional organizing and interior styling. Included in your service is interior furniture placement, space planning and interior styling. For furniture, finishes, renovations, etc., we will refer you to interior designers in our network.

How do I maintain my space once my project is complete?

Our goal is to set you up for success so that maintenance is easy once your project is complete. We do offer maintenance services on a monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly basis to reset previously organized spaces.
