Whole House Survey

If your home is a bit overwhelming, clutter is dominating your life, or you know there is a better way to organize your things but don't know where to begin, this is the place to start.  The client uses a clipboard to take notes (product/space recommendations) while we also take notes and measurements.  We include these in a printed report, which is mailed to the client a few days after the survey.  Products, systems, measurements, and space-use recommendations are included.  Each drawer, cabinet, closet, room, and storage space is analyzed for use of space, placement of furniture, systems in place that are working or not, and products that will accommodate the homeowners' requirements, budget, and dreams. 

Time: 3-4 hours for an average 3 bed/2 bath home

Cost: $250-325 ($60 an hour over 4 hours)

Room / Area Estimate

If you are focusing on one or two rooms/areas of your home, this is for you.  More time is concentrated on evaluating your needs/desires for space usage and design.  Measurements of the rooms/areas, all drawers, closets, and relevant spaces are included.  A report is mailed a few days after the consultation.

Time: 1-1½ hours for one or two rooms/areas

Cost: $90-140 ($60 an hour over 1½ hours)

Move Out / Move In Review

Before you make your next move, make the time to analyze how you've used the space you are coming from and how you can optimize the space you are moving into.  Getting "the bones" in place before you move in gives you a "home" for your things... eases the stress of the moving process.  A consultation takes place and both properties are visited and reviewed.  A report is generated which includes space planning/design, measurements of drawers, cabinets, closets, rooms (to take with you as you shop for organizing ), and product recommendations.

Time: Varies according to circumstance.

Cost: $60 an hour
