Let’s Chat
We begin with a free 20-minute JUMP START to JOY introductory phone consultation to discuss the specifics of your organizing project:
• What led you to reach out for help?
• Which parts of your home are currently causing you stress?
• What are your organizing goals?
• What is your vision for the space?
• How can I be of help?
Sharing photos prior to our phone consultation is a helpful way for me to better understand your space and needs.
Following this initial conversation, we can schedule an (optional) in-home consultation to evaluate your needs and determine if JOY Home Organizing (JOY) is the right solution for you.
In-Home Assessment*
The In-Home Assessment is a casual 1-on-1 appointment where I walk you through JOY’s services and processes in person. Together we will tour your home and review your areas of concern, discuss your home’s workflow and your goals for the project. I will develop a strategic plan, beginning with addressing your primary concerns.
If you need additional information, please feel free to reach out to me via text message. When you are ready, we can arrange for an appointment.
[*Most clients opt to skip the initial home assessment and incorporate it into their first 4-hour JUMP START TO JOY organizing session.]
JUMP START TO JOY
Four Hours of Concentrated Hands-on Work Getting Things Done!
Our first organizing session begins with a walk through of your space (if not previously conducted) and includes a detailed discussion of your objectives, design preferences and vision of what you hope to achieve. Then we get to putting your space in order!
We can work together side-by-side the entire time, or I can work on my own with intermittent input from you. Having the moral support of a pro to work alongside motivates you to accomplishing those ‘to-dos’ and does wonders for your mood!
My extensive experience, keen sense of design, take-charge approach, and creative space-making solutions will keep the process on track, while your involvement ensures that the implemented systems are tailored to your specific requirements, abilities, routines, and preferences.
How long will it take to get organized?
As each client’s situation and space is unique, and each project will require different amounts of time to complete. (There is no ‘normal.’) Therefore we hesitate to give estimates and work on an hourly flat fee. Clients are often pleasantly surprised by how much we can accomplish in 4 – 6 hours!
That said, for smaller projects, such as organizing a small closet or bedroom, we can typically finish within a (minimum) 4-hour session. However, larger projects may benefit from consecutive multiple sessions lasting 4 to 6 hours each for best results. The timing of our work can also vary depending on factors such as your decision-making ability and your level of overwhelm.
I get it. It can be tough. That’s why I’m here for you. : )
The final 20 minutes are dedicated to tidying the space, loading up donations, and wrapping up the day’s project. Then we’ll review our progress, collect payment, and schedule a follow-up appointment. 📆
We will collect your unwanted items along the way and deliver your donation boxes to charity when we go – a bonus service that everyone can appreciate.
Why wait to feel better about your home?
