F.A.Q

How Much Does Professional Organizing Cost?
The cost of organizing services can vary depending on each project's scope and specific needs. I work one-on-one with clients, providing a personalized approach and charging an hourly rate. I may bring in additional team members for larger projects to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Here's a breakdown of my fee structure:

• Consultation: Free 20-minute phone conversation to understand your needs and answer any initial questions
• Justine's Rate: $70/hour for professional organizing services
• Organizing Assistant: $30–$50/hour, depending on experience and project requirements
• Donation Haul: Included in the hourly Rate, ensuring your unwanted items find a new home with a local charity
• Selling Items: $50/hour for listing and managing items for sale, primarily through platforms like Facebook Marketplace

Please note: A 50% deposit based on the project estimate is required to secure your booking.

The time required to organize a room varies for each client, as every space and project is unique. I work closely with you to understand your specific needs and goals, designing a system that aligns with your lifestyle and vision for the space.
Professional organizing goes beyond simply adding containers and labels—creating functional, sustainable systems that bring order, ease, and a sense of peace to your daily life. Together, we'll transform your space into one that truly supports you.

Booking a session is easy! Call, text, or email me to set up a consultation. I'm also happy to chat by phone to discuss your goals and answer any initial questions.

I primarily work alone, as many clients appreciate the focused, one-on-one approach. This allows us to take our time, make decisions thoughtfully, and avoid feeling overwhelmed. I may bring additional support with varying expertise for larger projects to meet your timeline efficiently. We'll discuss this during your consultation to decide on the best approach for you.

Yes and no. I include recycled boxes and bags for packing and donations to help reduce waste and keep things organized. For larger projects, particularly moves, I'll provide an estimate for any additional supplies like boxes and packing materials. A deposit may be required for these purchases.

Yes, I can assist with selling select antiques and collectibles. For certain items, I offer listing services on platforms like Facebook Marketplace at an hourly rate of $50. However, the current market for traditional antiques can be limited, with demand varying by item type.
I recommend reputable consignment stores or dealers specializing in antique sales for high-value or unique pieces. It's important to note that some items, particularly large furniture or specific styles, may have lower market demand. In those cases, donation could be the most practical option.
I'll work with you to explore all options and find the best solution for your antiques and collectibles through sale or thoughtful donation.

I use the existing disposal systems in your home for typical garbage and recycling. If there's a larger quantity, I can arrange for a junk removal service to ensure everything is disposed of responsibly. Donations are handled thoughtfully—I make every effort to align with charities that are meaningful to you and drop items off locally or provide you with contacts for drop-off if preferred.

Ideally, it's helpful if you're present, especially for decision-making moments and initial setup. However, if we've established a clear scope of work, I can proceed independently, with virtual check-ins via photos or video to keep you updated.

Yes, I can help your parents organize their space. While you may be covering the cost, my agreement will be directly with your parents to ensure they feel respected and in control of their space. I encourage family collaboration so everyone is comfortable and aligned on the work to be done.

I prioritize safety and care in every project, ensuring your belongings and home are respected. However, I understand that accidents can happen. I carry $2 million in liability insurance to give you complete peace of mind. This coverage protects you and me, providing reassurance that any accidental damage or incidents will be addressed professionally and promptly.
I'm proud of my strong track record with zero claims to date, and I approach each project with the utmost care to maintain that standard. Rest assured, your space is in safe and experienced hands.
