FAQs - Destination Organization

Q: Do You Bring a Team to My House?

If the project warrants a team effort, we can do that! If you have a quick deadline for project completion or you have minimal availability to work with us, a team effort is our best bet.

Q: Do You Work Hands-On With Your Clients?

We bring tools and supplies to facilitate the organizing process and we work side-by-side with our clients.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Q: Do I Need to Clean Up Before You Arrive?

Definitely not. We prefer to see how your place is in its natural state.

Q: Do I Need to Buy Anything Before You Arrive?

Therefore, no need to buy anything but please do have garbage bags on hand for donations, recycling, and garbage. My clients often have tried to get organized and have many containers. We can empty them out and reuse them in a more efficient way. If we still need containers or some other organizational tools, we will write up a list for you to purchase or we can purchase them on your behalf.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Q: Do I Need to Work with You to Get Organized?

You will get the best results and be most satisfied if you are heavily involved. That being said, there are sometimes parts of a project that we can work on without the person who owns the stuff. We can often sort things and then have our clients look through the categories to make decisions. Given a little direction, we can unpack and organize with little ongoing input from the client. Once there is a plan for how the room will be organized, we can make that happen and may not need more input from you.

Q: How Much Does it Cost to Organize a Room?

It depends and what your goals are and the depth and breadth of the project and stuff in the room. Once we have assessed your project we can estimate how many hours it will take and estimate the cost.

Q: How Long Does It Take to Organize a Room?

[fusion_builder_container type="flex" hundred_percent="no" equal_height_columns="no" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" background_position="center center" background_repeat="no-repeat" fade="no" background_parallax="none" parallax_speed="0.3" video_aspect_ratio="16:9" video_loop="yes" video_mute="yes" border_style="solid"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" layout="1_1" background_position="left top" border_style="solid" border_position="all" spacing="yes" background_repeat="no-repeat" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" center_content="no" last="true" hover_type="none" first="true"][fusion_text hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_display="normal,sticky" animation_direction="left" animation_speed="0.3" animation_delay="0"]It depends! I will say that an average room takes 3-9 hours to get organized. How fast the process goes depends on how deep the clutter is, how quickly you can make decisions, how much paper is involved (paper slows things down), and how detailed you want the organization to be. We prefer to create systems that are just organized enough and not overly detailed as to make it hard to maintain.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Jamie and Tracey were fabulous. They unpacked and found homes within my apartment for the majority of my “stuff” that I relocated in a move from Atlanta. I definitely will call them to pack and unpack my belongings when I relocate into my permanent home next Spring. In addition to their professionalism and knowledge, they also were a lot of fun.

I worked with Kerry over 5 separate sessions. She was here to work and not judge. I had specific areas of the home office/house to work on during each session. She listened to my goals (and my stories...;). The best thing about Kerry is she is ready to listen. Her ideas are fantastic and she is so friendly! She understands the difficulty and apprehension some might face when it comes to taking inventory and purging. No better person to have guide you on the journey!

Jamie from Destination Organization exceeded all our (both my husband and me) expectations. From our initial inquiry to the last session, Jamie's professionalism, responsiveness, and organizational skills shone through. Part of what we had to organize was 2500 square feet of basement cluttered with years of Knick Knacks, artwork, photographs, frames, etc., along with a workroom and an area filled with artificial flowers and plant material. Jamie helped reduce it down to what was truly useful and important. She then arranged the organized bins and designated different areas, all meticulously labeled. Her non-judgmental, friendly, kind approach made decluttering effortless, and her efficient, punctual work ethic kept us on track. Jamie is very good at staying focused on task at hand even when I would try to bounce from one area to another. Jamie's knack for decision-making and creative solutions transformed my living spaces into functional, organized areas. We highly recommend Jamie to anyone seeking decluttering and organizing assistance. Thank you, Jamie, for your exceptional service! We'll definitely be hiring Jamie for more projects around the house.

Jamie helped me space-plan a complex home office and work/storage/file system that was extremely useful and a high selling point of our home. Good organization starts with planning and I felt it was very much worth the time and effort. I recommend Jamie and investing in a good organization system for your processes, both home and office.
