Home Organizing Services

Paper Clutter

If you have piles of paper on your kitchen countertops or stacks of bills and mail on your desk, then you need help managing paper clutter. Get Organized! will come to your home and set up the perfect filing systems and teach you how to sort incoming paperwork and file correctly. Our organizers will explain what type of papers to keep and how long to keep them and show you how to handle all the papers that trickle into your home every day, such as bills, school papers, mail, and more.

With efficient paper management systems in place, you will not only have more space on counters and your desk to work, but you will be able to find important papers when you need them. Want to go paperless? We can help with that, too.

Storage Units

Storage units are often filled with items no one knows what to do with at home. Sometimes they contain overflow from a cluttered house or they could be filled with unneeded items from a senior who had to downsize. Get Organized! will start by going through each box or container in your storage unit, purging obvious trash or broken items, and sorting the rest.

Containers will be labeled and stacked to maximize space and create easy access to items. If requested, our organizers will provide a detailed inventory of each container so you can easily retrieve items when needed.

Hoarding

Hoarding is a different level of organizing that requires a special approach. In many cases, families of hoarders are the ones that reach out to us. Hoarding may require psychological help* for the client and/or family before organizing can begin. In addition, other services such as cleaning companies, carpet or flooring companies, bulk hauling services, and more, may be required in addition to the actual organizing.

Our organizers will begin the process by removing trash and debris, purging unwanted/unneeded items, discarding expired food or medication, scaling down the overall contents in the home, clearing walkways and exit points to meet city code, and then organizing the remaining items. It is our hope that the results of our work will be a positive influence in an often chaotic environment.**

*We do not claim to be counselors or therapists and encourage individuals to work with a professional counselor in conjunction with our services.

** Our rates are higher for true hoarding jobs. Please note that there is a scale for what defines hoarding and a large amount of clutter does not necessarily mean a person is a hoarder.

Life Coaching

It has been proven through our work with clients that there is usually an underlying reason for clutter and dysfunction in a household. During a consultation, our organizers often find that family members disagree on the reason for the clutter. Get Organized! offers family coaching to get to the root of the problem.

This process brings the entire family together with a professional to determine why family members have been unable to maintain any type of organizational plan. By allowing a third party to lead the conversation, the discussion becomes less about emotion and more about finding a solution that will bring order to your home.

Home Organizing - Process

In home consultation DFW

In-Home Consultation **Maximum 2 Hour Consultation - $150.00**

An in-home consultation is a definite motivator to Get Organized! An organizer will evaluate the problem areas of your home, take photos*, and discuss your habits, tendencies, and lifestyle to come up with solutions to help you stay organized.

Organizing is about putting in systems that focus on function, not just beauty. While looks are important, having a beautiful space will not necessarily make your life easier and less frustrating. So while we desire to make your home picture perfect, our main goal is to make it function properly so the clutter is kept under control.

Unlike many other organizing companies, during our in-home consultations, we want to GIVE you our ideas and suggestions for the cluttered areas of your home. These ideas might include space planning, organizing tools, paper management, organizing kids' chores, staging a home for sale, and systems put in place to help you manage your home and life. In many cases, a person is unorganized due to a lack of time management skills. At the consultation, we address how you currently manage your time and offer advice on systems to efficiently schedule appointments, leisure time, and projects that require your attention.

When a Get Organized! team member arrives at your home for your consultation, have your paper and pen handy and be ready to take notes. Afterward, you can make the decision to use our suggestions and do the work yourself, or you may choose to hire our organizers to do the work for you, often with better and faster results. Think of us as your Personal Trainer for the organizationally challenged.

Note: When booking a Consultation, we will obtain your credit card information and will only charge it with your authorization or per our cancellation policy.

*By engaging our services, Get Organized! will take before, during, and after images and videos for documentation. These items may be used for training and marketing. We will not use images or videos containing home occupants, location information, or name identification unless permission is granted by the client. It is the responsibility of the client to contact our office to discuss a change in permission.

After the Consultation

At the end of the consultation, our clients often choose to schedule organizing days to begin the actual process of purging, de-cluttering, setting up systems, and organizing their homes.

Additional information such as resources, photos, forms, instructions, links to websites, etc., from the organizer to the client may be sent via email after the consultation. Unless a quick turnaround is needed for scheduling reasons, please allow a few days after the consultation for this additional information.

If organizing days are scheduled at the consultation, the organizer generally requests products and supplies to have on hand when the organizer returns. These items should be bought prior to the workday and will allow the organizer to efficiently use the allotted time. Requested items might include cleaning supplies, containers, totes, boxes, shelves, hardware, filing systems, or other items that will make your space more functional. If you prefer, we can shop for you at a cost of $65 per hour plus mileage and the cost of the items. Hourly rate is charged during travel time.

Off-Site Space Planning and Product Research ($65/hr) - In some cases our clients need additional research for products or furniture space planning that they simply do not have time to do themselves. Get Organized! offers space planning for new or existing furniture and product research outside the client's home to help find the right solution for the space. Our goal is to make sure that you have the proper pieces to create a home for all of your items. These services include measuring, space planning, and workflow consideration.

Get Organized! works closely with IKEA and The Container Store to help design your perfect space while using their products, but we are also happy to use furniture pieces you buy elsewhere.

Starting the Job

Depending on the plan of action discussed at the consultation, our clients might be given some homework to have completed prior to our arrival such as basic purging, gathering supplies, and setting up files. Some clients may choose to work alongside an organizer to answer questions and help make decisions, and some prefer to make themselves available for questions, but let the organizers do all the work. It is this teamwork that allows our clients to learn the skills needed for future DIY organizing projects.

Note: Our organizers do not break down or set up a computer or electronic equipment, however, we do offer full IT services for PCs at an additional cost. Services include networking, syncing, repairs, backup methods, software tutoring, photo/file organizing, de-commissioning old systems, and more.

The organizers at Get Organized! are being paid only while on a scheduled job. It is important that as a client you allow time before the end of your appointment to go over any future plan of action. This includes homework assignments and supplies needed to complete your job. Remember to take notes on the discussion at the consultation and subsequent appointments so you will be able to recall important information without having to contact your organizer(s) after work hours.

Our organizers take a 15-minute lunch break on any job over 4 hours. This allows the organizer(s) and the client to re-energize and regroup. Part of organizing families is getting to know their lifestyle and work habits so we can adjust our organizing plans to meet their needs. Often our lunch break conversations lead to a better understanding of your needs. This break is included in the hourly billing.

If you require “after-hours” consulting (more hands-on time, action planning, brainstorming, etc.) with your lead organizer, you will be charged our standard hourly rate for one organizer. The organizer will keep track of the time spent on phone calls, texting, and email, and you will be billed monthly. We understand some clients want more access to their organizer, so we offer this service at an additional charge.

It is our goal that you receive exceptional customer service at all times and at the same time Get Organized! must compensate its organizers for their work after hours. Please be aware of this policy so a bill for this service does not come as a surprise.

As always, please feel free to contact your organizer at no additional cost with schedule changes or a quick question. You may also contact our Get Organized! office at any time by phone at 972.841.0738 or via email at Info@GetOrganized.ws.

Note: If organizer(s) arrive at your home/office and you are not there on our scheduled day, you will be charged a $100 no-show fee plus mileage if applicable.

Completing the Job

Remember the TV shows like Clean Sweep? They are just that - an entertaining, pre-scripted show! They want the viewer to see dramatic results in an hour, so they cart out a lot of junk and build some cool storage pieces, but do not show the real decision-making, follow-up, and maintenance processes that are necessary to become organized! Keep in mind it took a long time to get disorganized and it will take time, effort, and determination to change that mindset.
