Capital Organizing

"Amanda of Capital Organizing helped me move from a three-BR house with basement, attic, and garage full of 46 years of accumulated stuff in a period of one month. She was superb at sorting and disposing of unwanted clutter without being overbearing. Moreover, she was a cheerleader when my enthusiasm flagged. She also assisted me in getting settled in my new house with a minimum of fuss. I could not recommend her highly enough for any organizing task, large or small. She’s a gem!"

“My craft/office space was wreck!! We had moved into our new home a year ago and used this room as a place to put the "I don't know where to put this yet" space. When I inquired about Amanda helping me get this room back into shape, I was embarrassed that it had even got to this point. But she wasn't judgmental at all, in fact, the opposite; she was understanding of how this can happen. Right away she made me feel comfortable and normal for having such a messy space.Once we started sorting, I was overwhelmed with where to begin, but she wasn't overwhelmed at all. And her approach of working the space in sections and little by little really made it seem less daunting. Her patience and understanding of sentimental items was so appreciated. Not only is she caring and understanding, she's diligent and strategic in how she approaches each task or sorting and organizing. Now the room feels like it has a purpose. It is organized, it is clean, and it feels great, thanks to Amanda! I love walking in there and can find what I need and I feel more motivated and inspired to use the space!"—Maggie M.

"Absolutely would recommend Amanda to organize your home! She is charming, friendly and willing to help you sort through items that you are emotionally attached to but need to get rid of !!  Her services are impeccable and I would highly recommend!" —Veronica C.

Q:  What do I need to do before you arrive?

A:  If you’d like to get the most out of my time, you can start by throwing away all obvious trash in the area that we will be working on.  Also, you can send me photos of areas you would like to work on beforehand so I can better understand the goal and come up with solutions.

 Q: Do I need to buy bins?

A: It is tempting to buy bins when starting the organization process but the first step is always to declutter by editing your possessions first.  I will do my best to save you money by reusing any existing storage containers you have already in your home once we complete the edit & sort process.  We can always decide to purchase items on an as needed basis.

Q: Will I need to be there while you are working?

A: For the most part, yes. With your input I will know what to keep, donate, etc... After I get a feel for the project I should be able to work on my own if you prefer.  I will never throw away something without your permission.

Q: How long will it take?

A: That largely depends on the project but generally I would say small contained spaces like cabinets, drawers and surfaces are 2-4 hours and entire rooms, walk-in pantries and closets will take 5-10 hours.

Q: I'm nervous about an outsider seeing all of my stuff.  What will you think of me?

A: I'm going to think that you are a smart cookie to reach out for assistance .  I'm nonjudgmental, trustworthy, very friendly and just want to help people. My goal is to make you happy and excited to live in your space!
