Get matched with top home and garage organizers in Kenilworth, IL

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.

Choosing the right home organizer is crucial to ensure that the professional can provide the type of storage and organization options you need. When interviewing potential home organizers for the project, consider asking the following questions to find the right expert for the job:

• Are you able to declutter first before installing organization solutions?

• Do I need to be involved in the organization process?

• How long will the process take?

• Should I clean up before you arrive?

• What storage options can you provide?

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.

The preparation requirements for a home organizer service depend on the professional’s requests and your project goals. Most professional organizers will outline what you must do to prepare during initial scheduling conversations so everyone is on the same page. If you’re paying for decluttering and organizer installation, you likely won’t have to do anything to prepare. If your professional organizer is only coming to install shelves, cabinets, and other storage components, you should plan to declutter the area before they arrive.
