As of May 2025, I charge $110 an hour or $125 an hour for garages and storage areas with a minimum of 3 hours a session. You may purchase a session or a package of hours. They are listed on my website under services & pricing: https://www.cloudytoclearpo.com/services.

It really depends on a variety of factors. If your home has become cluttered over the course of several years, it's unrealistic to expect it to be completely organized in a day or two.

As a professional organizer, I always recommend starting with a consultation. This gives me a chance to get to know you and your home, and to better understand the scope of the project. During our consultation, we can discuss your goals and timeline, and I can provide you with an estimate of how long the process will likely take.

Organizing your home can be an overwhelming task, but with the help of a professional organizer, you can transform your space into a calming oasis. Whether you're looking to declutter your closet or revamp your entire home, a professional organizer can provide the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals.

This is a valid question!

Rest assured that it's entirely up to you. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to streamline their living spaces and create a more organized, serene environment. I will never pressure you into parting with anything you're not ready to let go of; instead, I'll help you identify items that are no longer serving a purpose in your life and provide guidance on how to dispose of them responsibly.

Decluttering your home can be a liberating process, and my clients often feel a sense of relief and calm once I've finished. By removing excess items and creating systems for storing the things you love, you'll be able to enjoy a more spacious, functional living space.

In short, you'll never be forced to throw anything away when working with me. I'm here to support you in creating a home that reflects your values, priorities, and unique personality.

I cover the San Francisco Bay Area: San Francisco to Palo Alto; Pacifica to Half Moon Bay.

I will commute to the East Bay and Marin County, but will charge the bridge toll and will charge a $50 travel fee for anything further than 50 miles from Daly City.

No. As an organizer, I understand that life gets complicated and it's not always possible to keep a tidy home. It's best for me to see your home's current state to truly understand which area(s) needs the most attention. Please keep it as is.

I prioritize keeping donated items out of landfills by finding them appropriate new homes. If you have a preferred donation site, I'm happy to drop items there. Otherwise, I work with various organizations based on the type of items:

• Food items go to local food banks

• Arts and crafts supplies to SCRAP

• Small furniture to Salvation Army or Community Thrift Store in San Francisco

• Children's books to the Children's Book Project

I maintain relationships with different organizations depending on what's being donated, ensuring each item finds the most suitable destination. I'd be glad to share more of my go-to donation spots when we meet in person.

Ideally the client will available for me to ask questions about what they would like to keep, toss or donate. I will be doing most of the work such as sorting and categorizing items for you to review. Your participation will be minimal, but crucial. The end result should be something that you agreed to throughout the process.

I always aim to use what you already have at home or in the office to keep costs down, as storage products can be expensive. At the end of our session, I'll assess if additional products are needed and provide a curated list of recommended options from retailers like Amazon, The Container Store, Target or IKEA. Ultimately, the decision to purchase these items is entirely up to you.

I encourage clients to handle product purchases themselves based on the recommendations I provide, allowing me to focus on organizing your space efficiently. However, if you'd prefer that I handle the purchasing, I can do so using part of our session time to place the order and arrange delivery directly to your home.

If you prefer not to buy new products, that's perfectly fine. We'll creatively repurpose items from around your home—such as baskets, bins, or boxes—to meet your storage needs.
