Transform your cluttered chaos into organized bliss with my closet and room organizing services. I specialize in bringing clarity and perspective to your space, ensuring every item finds its perfect home. I've helped many people and kids with depression, anxiety, and ADHD feel confident about keeping their space free from clutter. A clear space creates a clear mind, and I'm a true believer in that. My fresh eye and innovative solutions tailor your closet or disorganized space to fit your unique needs, making staying organized effortless. Experience the joy of a happier, more productive life with a closet or space that's perfectly tailored to you. Say goodbye to clutter and hello to harmony with my expert organizing touch. Call me for a quote and I will give you a Free 30 minute Initial Consultation, when you mention Angie’s List. Hourly Consultations are paid hourly . I’m available 7 days a week.

"Hiring Julia to help me organize my living space (and thus my life) is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her support. Living with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence made clutter and disorder unavoidable but also unbearable conditions in my life— even after multiple rounds with the Marie Kondo method. Our original goal was to make my small studio apartment functionally livable for me— actually going through all of my crap and helping me to stay regulated while sorting and purging what didn’t serve me. But when plans abruptly changed and I had to relocate, Julia quickly pivoted and set me up for the simplest, smoothest move possible. By the time she left, both packing and unpacking felt intuitive, clear, and surprisingly easy. She then joined me post-move at my new apartment and made sure everything in my home had a home :) Since her first visit, I’ve felt a new sense of ease in my space, and that feeling has only gotten better and better as time passes. The most incredible part is how easily sustainable all of these changes have been. And Julia also checks in regularly about how I’m able to cope and function with each new system— her goal is to make your home function efficiently for YOU and your needs, not just her preferences. The Closet Jules difference is seriously life-changing! It feels good and easy for me to keep things where they belong without getting overwhelmed, and I have much more time to enjoy my home and live life. I actually make it to my engagements on time and am willing to have guests over since I’m no longer searching endlessly for items, or constantly trying to tidy up. I could keep going, but we don’t need to waste anymore time. If you’re thinking about working with Julia to get your life in order, JUST DO IT. I promise you’ll be glad you did!"

"The workers were very nice. I definitely appreciated them, but they arrived an hour and half after the agreed time, which kind of threw off my day and made it hard to coordinate. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I felt like it was an astonishing amount of money for what seemed like a very basic clean up. Perhaps I'm wrong but for $400 (after tips) I was shocked to find a lot of missed spots around pretty obvious parts of the house, like dust still on the coffee table and dust left in my bathrooms medicine cabinets. I'm kind of disappointed, overall."

Garage cleaning services FAQs

In most cases, professional organizers are well worth the investment. They often handle decluttering, which can take hours of work, and professional home and garage organization solutions that homeowners wouldn’t often think about. In many cases, homeowners will recognize the true value of a professional organizer during the weeks following the project’s finish when they use their new space and realize the improved quality of life that comes with convenient and thoughtful storage and organization.

The average cost to hire a house cleaner is between $30 and $50 per hour. Costs vary depending on house size, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of cleaning you want. Deep cleaning will be more expensive since it requires more time and effort to move furniture and clean hard-to-reach areas compared to a standard cleaning session. 

Although tipping is not a requirement, many people tip house cleaners around 10% to 15% of the final cleaning cost. Some people tip as much as 20% or more, but it’s up to your discretion. Rather than tipping each cleaning session, you can also tip monthly or give the house cleaner a holiday bonus. There are no rules for tipping, but if your house cleaner did a great job it’s encouraged.

The average house cleaner cost is around $180, which should cover about four hours of work. However, each project is different and costs can range from $100 to $1,000, depending on the house size and the cleaning needed. Other cost factors can include your location and what level of cleaning you want. Standard or basic cleaning may include vacuuming, dusting, and disinfecting the kitchen and bathrooms. Deep cleaning costs about twice as much and often includes cleaning behind and underneath furniture, washing windows, and polishing hard-to-clean surfaces. Emergency cleaning, extreme cleaning, and holidays also impact pricing. Move-in and move-out cleaning typically cost more, too, because of the extensive, whole-house cleaning involved.

Professional organizers charge $55 to $100 per hour, with average per-project rates costing $510. If you need help with basic decluttering and organizing of your garage, expect to pay $200 to $700. On the other hand, major reorganization projects can cost $1,500 to $5,000, including installing shelves and storage solutions. Expect to pay more for professional organization help if you need specialty storage solutions, like cabinets and toolboxes for a workshop or a ceiling-mounted kayak or bike storage option.
