Offers a good service but not exactly what we were looking for. Is more adept at teaching and helping clients to become organized, rather than doing an organizing service for a client who is already very organized but (because of work or other demands) needs to leverage another service provider's time to do the initial work.
No beef with this company. But wouldn't use again.

I wanted help with my pantry. First, they sent a closet organizer out but I think they misunderstood what I wanted. They then sent a second person who was more qualified for the pantry work. It is still in good shape! I would say the experience went well. I was glad I had purchased it and the pricing was right on target.

The lady worked on a couple of rooms and I was pleased. The worked turned out to be better than what I could have done on my own. She persuaded me to discard items that had no further use and only created clutter. She was sensitive and caring in the way she finally convinced me to donate those items. It turned out well that I was able to provide a larger area for my mother to have her own personal space. I didn't have to pay further than the price of the deal.

Something that's not for me.
Response from Household Organizer
"Even though this gentleman hired me to help him in his office space, I found him difficult to work with as he didn't want to part with much. He was not easy to work with so I'm not surprised that after 1 1|/2 years, he decided to write about us working together. I think the notes that other people send Angie's List are much more truthful about me & the work we do together."

It was just what I needed. The price was more than I would normally spend on something like this but I badly needed this service and found ultimately the money was well spent. I had been trying to declutter and organize my home office forever on my on and kept putting it off. Having completed this one thing on my to do list was money well spent. Ms. Ruth helps you accomplish this in an organized manner with complete productivity leaving you feeling empowered and encouraged to tackle more areas of your home. Thanks Ruth.
Response from Household Organizer
"Thanks so much for you lovely note. I enjoyed working with you & I hope that you're able to continue doing what we did without my help. Just keep up the good work. Remember, two feet at a time!!! Don't overload yourself. Thanks Ruth"

It turned out really well. I was able to set the appointment when I wanted to. She was very helpful and I was satisfied with what she did. I needed more time with her and she gave me the time we agreed to. She was great. She was very efficient and achieved her goal helping me organize the garage. I gave her a tip too.
Response from Household Organizer
"Thanks for the positive review. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to call me again. Ruth"

The service went well, but the whole ordeal was too much for me. She was a little strict, and I was not ready for that.

she came and did not seem to be helpful. told me my basement was full of things but organized. I have since done a lot myself but would have liked some help.
Response from Household Organizer
"When I left (deleted member name) house I was pleased with our decision. She showed me the basement & it was filled with things she said she didn't want to get rid of. We went from section to section & I told her that I was impressed with the way the whole basement was organized. There didn't seem to be much I could do for her. Her husband came home, we sat & talked & it was agreed that there wasn't much I could do to help her as she didn't want to move things out of the basement. I left only charging her for the one hour as opposed to the four hours minimum I usually charge. I left thinking they were both pleased with our decision. I'm sorry to read that after nine months ( I was at her home on Sept. 23, 2012) she decided to write this negative note. It is certainly different from my impression of our meeting. Ruth"

I used an Angie's List Big Deal special offer for this service and it went really well. They got a lot done and I really like that the lady who came out did not advise me to buy a lot of new things to help me get organized. She helped me use what we already had; that was very helpful. She took all of the things that I was getting rid of and donated them for me. I got a receipt, which was very nice.
Response from Household Organizer
"Thanks so much for you note. I enjoyed working with you & I'm so happy that you mentioned the fact that I don't tell clients to go out & buy things. I've never had to get more things for the house. By the time we're done organizing, there's always containers or places to put those things that people want to save. Thanks again for your nice note. Ruth"

She was on time, spent the entire 4 hours with me, took everything in her car to donate, and was a hardworker. She did a great job of working with me.

It was a Groupon and I used her once. She was okay. She was too expensive.
Response from Household Organizer
"I've never been on Groupon I went through all the jobs I did in 2012 & he wasn't on any list. I have three ways of checking, one by the months, one by the last name in alphabetical order & one by my regular file. If he could give me a date, I'd be happy to look it up. Ruth"

I did above
Response from Household Organizer
"I must say I was amazed to read what you wrote as I've NEVER taken so long to show my book of photos of jobs that I've done to new clients. I'm very sorry your were not happy with my work but as I've been doing this for 11 years, I think you are only the 2nd person who has not rated me with an A or a B. I'm very sorry I didn't work up to your expectations. Ruth"

It was ok over all. Pleasant experience, not quite what I expect in the arena of organization. More of decluttering
Response from Household Organizer
"I afraid this note written by the member is not about me. I charge more than $ 50.for my 4 hour minimum per job fee nor is she written on my date calendar. which shows every job I've had this year. I keep all my calendars for the past 11 years so I know she's mistaken. I'm sorry she's taken so long to write this note as this length of time has caused her not to remember the name of the company that came to help her. I hope she understands my reply. Ruth Phillips Household Organizer . Member, This is in response to the note I wrote to Angie's List Reviews which was written by you last month. I looked through all the files I had for 2012 & couldn't find you, hence the note I wrote back to you. The other day I had to go through 2011 & I ran across your name. We worked together on 3/17/2011. That's why I'm dropping this note to you. We did work together & I'm happy you were pleased with what we were able to get accomplished. I'm sorry about the first note I wrote but as you took so long to write your note, I just didn't realize it was done over a year ago. Thanks, Ruth www.householdorganizer.us 770-772-6556"

It was a good experience, I was hoping to get every room in tip to top condition, but in her and wife's opinion the rooms were fine. She was very willing to dive right in, was a good listener, offered her feedback if asked and had nice personality. She was very candid with me and I appreciated here feedback. She had some good organizing tips that didn't cost me a dine to implement. I would buy her services again, if my house gets really messy.

I called to get an estimate to give my daughter a Christmas Gift which was going to be having her closet organized. Ruth responded to my initial email right away. She happened to have a cancellation so she was able to come the next day after we spoke which was great!
She came right in and got busy. She was very easy to work with and very efficient. The transformation was amazing and I am sure we will use her again in the future.

Response from Household Organizer
"Thanks so much for the kind words. I loved working in the closet & your daughter was very easy to work with. She knew just the things she was willing to part with & I helped her get everything into the proper areas. Her shirts, pants, jackets etc etc were arranged in groups & placed in her closet properly. She loved her closet when we got done. A fun job for me & she loved the results. Thanks!!! Ruth"

Ruth came out for the Kitchen job. We started on one side of the room and wored our way through cabinets and drawers to the otherside of the room. Ruth staged the items for me to make decisions. She offered suggestions, kept me moving forward, and handled the items I wished to donate. She was great to work with and made the process much more enjoyable then it would have been otherwise.
In my office I had piles of papers. We followed the same basic process with the addition of shred piles and recycle piles.
She was a great help.

She was very nice and very professional. However, her approach did not engage me and her suggestions were common sense things that I had tried in the past. She is very nice and, again, very professional in her handling of the business and the client, but she left me cold. She could mesh beautifully with a different personality than mine.
Response from Household Organizer
"I'm so sorry I wasn't able to help you the way you anticipated we would work together. As I've been organizing for 11 year I've always left a job knowing it was a great help to my client I hope you find someone to help you the way you need help.. Ruth"

It was the first time I had used them. It went well. It was nice to have someone come in and show you how to be more organized.

The house was totally different when we were finished. Ruth has an excellent attitude, and a ton of energy! She even takes things to resale shops for you. Letting these things pile up was a major fault of mine.
I agree heartily with another review: and quot;4 hours of organization of master bathroom surfaces and storage areas. It was the best investment in and quot;me' that I could have ever made. Ruth helped to focus my efforts to 'de-clutterand quot; my life, one room at a time. My bad habit of procrastination only made the task of getting started overwhelming. Ruth managed to keep me on task and when I strayed, she always redirected me back to the matter at hand. In the short period of time, she not only motivated me to start what seemed to be a daunting task but also encouraged me throughout the process. I felt a great sense of accomplishment and could actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. This was a great start to -and quot;order where there was chaosand quot; and Yes, Ruth, it is okay to throw it away! I can't wait to reward myself with the and quot;gift of Ruthand quot; in my home.and quot; since this expresses exactly what I think and feel, I am quoting it here.
Now I've moved to a new apartment, and I can't wait for her to help me out here.Thank you Ruth, you are amazing!
