JumpStart Organizing

Great! I will hire again in September.

Donna Jumper is a true professional. She's organized and downsized for 10 years with a consistent "A" rating. She's also a member of the National Association of Profession Organizers. The process went beautifully. Each session was a 3 hour workout, at my own pace. There were 2 types of garbage bags to fill: Trash and Donations. At the end of every session, all the trash was taken to the apartment dumpsters, and the donations taken away. We also had a donation closet in which some items remained; and I could reconsider whether I was ready to let go of those items. As we went along, Donna put the things, I wanted to keep, back in the closets and drawers, in common sense order. Thank you for your wonderful and much appreciated help!

We were able to dispose of many items and to donate others, making for a much neater and manageable basement.

Fantastic--she saw the room the way we didnt/could not and even moving the furniture completely refigured our space. Its so much better now.

I purchased 3 hours of home organization for a gift for my mom. The feedback from my mom was wonderful. She felt Donna was very helpful and the time was well spent. My mom has mentioned she will reach out to Donna again in the future to further help her.

It was okay. She kept changing the schedule of when she would be available. There's a calendar in the Angie's List website where we can request the date. Because it doesn't show when she's busy, I requested 3 days. She called me and told me she was basically booked except for an evening. She came that night but not until it was 6:30 and we're just not going to stay up all night to do this. She circled around with me three different times to get out here but she could never make it work when I was here and my wife was here. When she came, she organized the wrong stuff and put it in the wrong places. I wouldn't use her again. She showed up at the house without letting us know she'd be there. She just kind of gave us a warning that she could be early. I had no way of knowing what was going on. I was at work when I can't bring my phone because of the type of facility I work in. She was halfway doing what she was doing when I showed on the premises. I ended up spending $100 to put my stuff in the wrong place.

Donna helped my tackle our unfinished, cluttered nursery. We organized the closet and rearranged the room to give the space a nice flow. She also made great suggestions for how to best maximize the extra closet space on the nursery. With the time we had remaining, Donna pointed out ways to make our kitchen with limited counter space look much more organized. We now have more room to prep, and maneuver. Overall it was a very helpful session. There was no time wasted!

Helped me take my clothes to goodwill. She was very professional!

It went great - we got the closet organized well. I only wish we could have more of it done but the tips she provided should allow us to do the rest on our own.

My experience was good. She gave me some good ideas on how to re-organize things. Scheduling an appointment was pretty easy.

I called her a few days later to try to schedule with her this past weekend, but did not receive a return call. I just went by myself and did the work.

The job went very well. We accomplished a bit more than I thought we would. I wish the price would have been a little lower but Donna and Christine completely met my expectations. I would recommend their business and I will use them again if I need them. I truly appreciate their hard work and them helping me get a big start on cleaning out and organizing my basement.

This was my first experience with a professional organizer and i was quite i impressed. I work and have family committements and that limits my time and energy for getting and keeping organized.,i have a nice home , two grown children that are in and out with school and work and a husband . I decided on my home needs and she assisted me with my kitchen, laundryroom and my master closet. Three hours made a huge dent in areas that have been driving me crazy. I have more to do but this was a great start. I enjoy the rooms and closets every time i see them. Judy had some great ideas for repurposing what i had to make it more useful and effective,i had been out shopping the week before for a narrow cart for the laurndry room,, cost would be about $ 30. She was able to see some of what i had and repurpose it.the cart which i was replacing uhad broken wheels and she suggested removing the wheels and using as a shoe rack at the entrance..it was perfect and saved me money. The laundry closet is now so organized and i know what i have , who knew i was overbuying as i didnt know what was in there! She gave me simple , no cost suggestions for staying organized. We organized several kitchen cabinets that make the morning smoother and dinner easier as my cups and serving platters are easy to find. What a difference to my master closet. I love what we did. Judy works with you , going through stuff considering its usefulness and and asking the tough questions. She was in the midst of my dusty , overcrowded closets cleaning and wiping and rearranging . She is pleasant and non judgemental with the clutter we collect . She doesnt just tell you what needs to be done, she works with you side by side showing you and making improvements . It was a great experience .,i have recommended her services to friends.

It went well. We recently moved and my office is one of the last places with standing boxes. I could see the floor when we were done for the day! And I felt motivated to continue. I plan on having Donna back at her regular rate.

They were very nice and very efficient. I am not organized at all, and I have some physical limitations, so it was so helpful having someone help me box stuff and move it around. Thanks!

Donna is very professional and great at staying on task. She helped me decide how my dining room could function better, even down to furniture placement. Once she saw I had a handle on the dining room, she helped me out in the kitchen as well. She is great at finding ways to maximize the space you have.

They were right on time and they were efficient in what they did. I would recommend them.

It went very well. I am a pack-rat, so they were gentle but effective at helping decide what to keep/what to toss.

She was great with some really great organizational ideas. I'll definately be hiring her again when I'm ready to finish my home office organization project.

We spoke about ways to better organize paperwork.

Donna and I sat for a period of time discussing my organizing issues and goals. I felt instantly connected to Donna and knew we could work well together. I was initially embarrassed to have her see how out of control my home office was but once we started addressing the clutter, I was so happy she was there. We made a good deal of progress in a relatively short amount of time. Although the office still needs work, I am utilizing Donna's suggestions to stay on top my overall organizing goals. We already scheduled our next appointment and I hope to utilize Donna's services and expertise going forward, especially as I prepare to sell my home.

Donna went through my entire kitchen offering tips for organizing and doing much of the moving of items to more appropriate places. She explained the importance of "like with like" and why certain categories of items belong in the most convenient places. It went extremely well. I've followed up on most of her suggestions and hope to have her back to help me with the rest of the house. Thank you!

My husband encouraged me to hire JumpStart Organizing to organize my office (I wonder why?) and I?m so glad I agreed. Donna Jumper didn?t just recommend a more efficient set-up of my work space, she suggested several ways to streamline my schedule, filing, general information access and financial record-keeping. Many everyday irritations were removed as a result, but perhaps best of all she made the process fun. If you can't remember the last time you addressed your work environment--or habits--I would definitely give Donna a call.

I needed help organizing my home office, so when I saw an Angie's List deal for office organization ($89 for 3 hours), I decided this was a good opportunity. The appointment had to be rescheduled several times due to our recent winter snow storms, but Donna and I communicated throughout, and were able to work it out very well. (Please note I checked N/A on the price above, since this was a special deal.) It was not easy for me to have someone come into my home office and discuss my organizing challenges, but Donna made me feel comfortable and I appreciated that. We discussed my situation, my needs, and went through all of my office space and how it's currently being used. She gave me advice on how to make better & more efficient use of my space, eliminating unnecessary items, and various suggestions for better organization to meet my needs. Unfortunately, 3 hours was not long enough to get into the actual physical organization. But, Donna left me with some great ideas, suggestions, and advice, some of which I've already started implementing. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Showed me how to keep what was necessary, find a place for "keep" items & get rid of items not needed by giving away to other places or agencies or trashing what was of no use or damaged. Easy to separate items when someone else is there; no time to ponder, touch item once and decide on the spot.
