Are professional organizers worth it?

<div><p>In most cases, professional organizers are well worth the investment. They often handle decluttering, which can take hours of work, and professional home and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-organization-tips-maximize-space.htm">garage organization solutions</a> that homeowners wouldn’t often think about. In many cases, homeowners will recognize the true value of a professional organizer during the weeks following the project’s finish when they use their new space and realize the improved quality of life that comes with convenient and thoughtful storage and organization.</p></div>

How do I choose a home organizer?

<div><p>Choosing the right home organizer is crucial to ensure that the professional can provide the type of storage and organization options you need. When interviewing potential home organizers for the project, consider asking the following questions to find the right expert for the job:</p><ul><li><p>Are you able to declutter first before installing organization solutions?</p></li><li><p>Do I need to be involved in the organization process?</p></li><li><p>How long will the process take?</p></li><li><p>Should I clean up before you arrive?</p></li><li><p>What storage options can you provide?</p></li></ul><p> </p></div>

How much do organizers charge to organize a garage?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-do-professional-organizers-charge.htm">Professional organizers charge</a> <b>$55 to $100 per hour</b>, with average per-project rates costing <b>$510</b>. If you need help with basic decluttering and organizing of your garage, expect to pay <b>$200 to $700</b>. On the other hand, major reorganization projects can cost <b>$1,500 to $5,000</b>, including installing shelves and storage solutions. Expect to pay more for professional organization help if you need specialty storage solutions, like cabinets and toolboxes for a workshop or a ceiling-mounted kayak or bike storage option.</p></div>

What should I do before a home organizer comes?

<div><p>The preparation requirements for a home organizer service depend on the professional’s requests and your project goals. Most professional organizers will outline what you must do to prepare during initial scheduling conversations so everyone is on the same page. If you’re paying for decluttering and organizer installation, you likely won’t have to do anything to prepare. If your professional organizer is only coming to install shelves, cabinets, and other storage components, you should plan to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-declutter.htm">declutter the area</a> before they arrive.</p></div>

"Review by Laurie M. Walter in West Hills, CA Project: Finda a home organizer consultant I hired Stephi as a professional organizer to help my daughter unpack and set up her 3 floor townhome. Stephi dove in and began listening to my daughter's needs and preferences and she immediately began swooping down and carrying items up the stairs and into closets and shelves where they could be further organized. Once a week for several hours at a time, boxes, bags and rooms took shape. This would not have happened had we not hired her to help. In the future if I need to hire her again for further help, I would not think twice. Energetic, non-judgmental, and very sociable, I could not have asked for a better organizer."

"I'm so happy that I found David at CA Cabinets! He was here checking on the work daily to make sure everything ran smoothly which is rare for a contractor as usually they just come a few times during the process. Everything is beautiful and he went to extra mile to shop with me for the flooring tiles, quartz countertops, cabinets and sink. I'm super picky as an artist / former fashion designer and he was able to help me create exactly what I had designed. He had great ideas such as adding a waterfall edge to the quartz countertop and a window sill piece from quartz as well. This project was a complete gut and rebuild due to a dishwasher leak - homeowner's insurance claim. I was having issues with my insurance and David went above and beyond to help me navigate the insurance issues so we could complete the project. He is always very prompt and organized. Some of the other contractors that I had previously contacted could not even be bothered to give me a call back or show up on time to a scheduled appointment but David was able to meet with me right away and always notified me of the work schedules. Pricing was reasonable and in line with other estimates I received."

"Working with Doméstique for interior design was such a beautiful experience. Jakera has an incredible eye—not just for colors and layout, but for how a space should feel. She took the time to understand my lifestyle, what inspires me, and how I wanted to move through my home. The result was a space that felt like an elevated version of myself—cozy, intentional, and effortlessly stylish. She blended what I already owned with carefully selected new pieces, creating a space that felt layered and lived-in in the best possible way. It didn’t feel staged—it felt me.
