Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a Professional Organizer do?

    A Professional Organizer helps individuals and businesses declutter and organize their spaces, creating efficient systems and routines to enhance productivity and simplify daily life.

  • How should I prepare for our first session?

    You don’t need to pre-organize or buy anything before we arrive—just have an open mind and be ready to make decisions about your belongings. If possible, avoid major tidying so we can see the space as it truly is. We’ll bring the plan, the process, and the energy—you just bring yourself.

  • What if I feel embarrassed about my mess?

    Don’t feel bad! Professional organizers don’t judge — they’re here to help you! All services provided are confidential. We also abide by the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals Code of Ethics.

  • What are the benefits of Decluttering?

    Working with a certified organizer will hold you accountable to your organizing goals, you will receive expert organizing advice throughout the process, and we manage your piles so you can focus on the actual decisions. You will be coached to recognize what is important to you and how to sustainably discard that which no longer serves you.

  • What are your rates?

    All jobs are estimated at an hourly rate and depends on how many organizers the job requires. Please fill out our contact form to start the process of getting a customized bid.

  • How do I book a session?

    Simply fill out the contact form and someone from our team will respond within two business days. Or schedule a free consultation directly on our website.

  • Do I need to be present during the organizing process?

    It depends on your preferences. Some clients prefer to be involved every step of the way, while others are comfortable letting the organizer work independently. The client will need to be available for the decision making process.

  • Does Sort & Style work with hoarders?

    If you or a loved one is dealing with a hoarding issue, it may be helpful to bring in a mental health professional or a hoarding specialist. Although Sort & Style can help sort through sentimental items, paper files, and unwanted items, a serious hoarding condition needs professional help outside of organization.

  • Will you make me get rid of things I don't want to part with?

    As a Professional Organizer, my goal is to help you achieve your organizing goals while respecting your belongings and decisions. I will offer guidance and support, but ultimately, the decision to keep or discard items is yours.

  • What happens to the items I choose to discard?

    We can discuss options for donation, recycling, or disposal based on your preferences and the condition of the items. We include haul-away service for unwanted items.
