CLIENT LOVE

The Process
Consultation
Each project begins with a complimentary 30-60 minute in-home consultation to discuss your specific needs and how we can help. We will generate a quote based on the scope of the project and how many organizers are needed for your space.
Shopping & Planning
We design a plan that’s perfect for you. If you wish to incorporate new products in your space, we purchase them for you. We will also return them when necessary. This is part of the all-inclusive experience built in to the hourly rate and is not billed separately.
Editing & Categorizing
The first step to organizing your home or office is decluttering and purging. This is a collaborative process where we edit your items and help you decide what is important and what you no longer need. Then we will sort and organize what remains.
Maintaining
We hope to leave you with a space that is not only calm and fresh, but is also easy to maintain. Should you find that you need periodic help staying organized, we offer a one-time, monthly, quarterly and annual refresh at a reduced rate for your spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our services are non-judgmental, discreet and 100% confidential. We understand the sensitive nature of our work and consider your privacy of utmost importance. We abide by a code of ethics as members of NAPO regarding client confidentiality, and you can rest assured that our work together will remain confidential. At the same time, Tidier Spaces rarely posts before pictures on social media and never without the client’s permission. We will post “after” pictures of projects we are particularly proud of with client permission.
-
Fill out a form and tell us what areas you’d like addressed and organized. Once you make the initial inquiry online, we will contact you to schedule a complimentary consultation to walk through your home and discuss problematic areas. For inquiries outside of Houston, we will schedule a virtual consultation to tour your space.
-
This is a tough question because each client and each situation is unique. We try and tailor our services to each client’s individual needs. Factors that contribute to the time it takes to organize a space include the size of the space, its current state, how quickly a client is able to make decisions and the amount of disruption during the process. Home offices, kitchens and other larger and more complex spaces take longer. While some clients just need a boost to kick-start the organizing process, others prefer to work more hands-on with an organizer from start to finish.
-
No, in most cases we will offer solutions for your space with the organizational products you already own. Organizational products such as storage bins, dividers, risers and extra shelving can be purchased and incorporated. Organizing products are never required and often times, we are able to use storage systems you already have in place. Should you decide you would like additional products, Tidier Spaces will shop them for you at no additional hourly cost. The cost of organizational products beyond printed labels will be billed to the client.
-
Getting and staying organized is not about purging all your belongings. We will not make you throw away items you need or love, nor force you to become a minimalist. Instead, we help you decide if an item is clutter or something that adds value to your lives. At Tidier Spaces, we know that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure and things have sentimental value. That said, if we notice that clutter has interrupted the flow of daily life and prevents you from living efficiently, we might encourage you to re-home certain items. The goal is creating a designated home for your belongings and instilling systems to sort and contain. We are here to help you achieve that goal, as your professional organizer and cheerleader.
-
Once we have categories and sorted your belongings, there will be items you are willing to let go of. We will help you determine an appropriate home for items you no longer want, need or use. Together, we may choose to recycle them, donate them, consign them or simply dispose of them. Tidier Spaces will assist with scheduling pick-up from charitable organizations, dropping off items at appropriate recycling locations and/or providing advice on consigning items to local shops or online. While you may be tempted to hold onto the items for an eventual garage sale or the like, you will benefit far more from simply letting these items go. If you choose to do a garage/yard sale or sell the items online, you should commit to donating everything that does not sell in a given period of time.
-
Prior to the first appointment, client will review and sign the Terms and Conditions. This contract outlines the services to be provided, the payment expected and other terms and conditions of the project.
-
No. In fact, we would actually prefer you didn’t. This way, we can see how your space typically looks and how you’re currently functioning in it. We come to your space 100% judgment free looking for solutions that work for you. We are accustomed to all kinds of situations and assure you, there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.
-
We accept payments though Venmo (Debit or Credit), cash or check made out to Tidier Spaces, LLC. Returned checks will incur an additional fee. A 50% deposit on your total estimated cost is required to begin your project, and the remaining is due at completion.
