Awesome service!!! I've hired Linda several times since my initial job because she's SO fabulous to work with! I highly recommend Linda and her services for any job if you would just like a little motivation and help in getting started or if you find your tasks just overwhelming! She is very flexible and does whatever it takes to complete the tasks you are looking to complete. I love the fact that she will carry donations out of your home to her van and drop everything off where you would like the donations to go and return the deduction slips to you via mail. :-) Her suggestions are great and I appreciated her passion and gift to see the means to the end you desire!! Hire her, you will not regret your decision!!! Brenda from East Grand Rapids

Linda arrived at our home for the initial consultation to explain how She operated her business. She was punctual, very professional, yet casual! and quickly understood what our (my) needs entailed. When we began working to reorganize/declutter, Linda worked efficiently yet compassionately in assisting me through what seemed like an overwhelming unending process of "stuff". She kept us focused and on task. I appreciated that Linda was very respectful of my home. The fact that she cares for our environment by recycling my old cardboard, plastics, paper products, etc coupled with dropping off the donation piles created as we worked was incredibly helpful! Linda charged a very fair price (by the hour) for work completed. Very fair. I highly recommend Linda Kiel, Makin' Moves LLC - a tremendous asset to anyone who is or may be considering a reorganization project- large or small. You will be very pleased with the outcome.
Description of Work: Decluttering reorganization of our lower level.

Linda is amazing! She's an organizing queen and is so helpful and thorough. We had a garage that was overwhelming, full of crap we didn't need and dirty. Linda came in, helped us pare down, organize and clean up what we had. She removed the recyclables, moved our donations for us and helped us see what we couldn't to better organize and sort the space. Lifesaver is an understatement!

First of all Linda is very professional and organized. She comes prepared for whatever needs to be accomplished, tools, cleaning supplies, paint supplies, drop cloths, etc. She does not push you, she guides you. After everything was out of my garage I hired her to paint it too. She cleaned and organized everything. It was a delight to pull into my garage at the end of the job. My garage used to depress me, now I can locate tools and find things. She left nothing for me to finish or clean up.
Description of Work: Mt garage was a mess, tools everywhere, junk, sports equipment, etc. Linda set up 3 tables, "Keep, recycle/donate, throw away" She went through everything, with my input into the 3 categories. She made it easier to process all items in my garage. The items I wanted to keep were put into bins, tool box and labeled everything. It was an awesome transformation.

Linda is strong and fast and cheerful. She had an solution for every problem. I enjoyed working with her as she seemed genuinely interested in getting me out of the house and on the road. I only needed to mention some situation that seemed impossible and she would say, "Oh, I can do that." The condo looked perfect by the end of May when I put it on the market. A happy ending for a difficult job.
Description of Work: I was preparing to put my condo on the market. It was messy and dirty and full of things that needed to be sorted for my move to California. Linda got me organized, cleaned and sorted. It seemed that there was nothing she could not do. Her trailer helped with many chores: hauling things to my storage, taking items to Goodwill, loading things for my daughter-in-law.

Linda was very pleasant, punctual, helpful and focused. She helped me work through bags and bins of kids items. She helped me sort and purge many items. She even was willing to bring donated items to a drop off location for me!! Linda helped me stay on task to do things in a timely manner. Even when I had to take breaks to help my children, she continued on and asked questions when she needed something specific from me. She engaged my kids in helping in their own room project by picking out labels for their own room. They loved the project and it added a real personal touch and ownership to the kids' room. I was very overwhelmed at times with a lot of the stuff, especially when it was out on tables as we were organizing but she helped me keep going and to take it step by step. In the end, everything is much more manageable and I can actually see and find all of my kids' things! The entire experience was very enlightening and I am not sure it would have been done without Linda's help. I will definitely hire her again in the future!!!
Description of Work: Linda came into my home and helped me with two different projects. She helped me reorganize my twin daughters' room after we remodeled it. She helped me reorganize, store, label and purge many items that I needed help going through. She also helped me set up a room for my newborn. Linda helped me moves items around the room and then helped me sort through bins and bins of baby items.

Linda is amazing! I'm a bit of a control freak and a pack rat, but she made me so comfortable and did such an amazing job that I'm much better off now than if I had done it myself. She's a very hard worker and worth way more than she charges. I can't recommend Linda enough!!!
Description of Work: With a husband, a toddler, 2 dogs, 2 horses, 2 full-time jobs, and a bunch of unanticipated home improvements, moving into our new home turned out to be way more than we could handle. Linda unpacked, cleaned, arranged, organized, drilled, screwed, painted, reassembled, installed, put together, and 'made pretty' our ENTIRE house! She took everything from being scattered in random boxes to being organized and coordinated in the kitchen, pantry, office, library, closets, bathrooms, living room, den, outdoor porch, and basement.
