ABSOULTLY NOT!

The best this you can do for yourself is ask for help when you are overwhelmed and don’t know how to get started. The Organized Chick team is here to support you in your organizing journey.

Even Wonder Woman and Superman call on the Justice League for help. No one can be expected to do everything without help.

How much can getting help save you in the long run?

• On average, decluttering an entire home reduces housekeeping time by 40%. What is that time worth to you?
• 23% of adults pay bills late because they lose them. How much would that save you?
• We find gift cards, cash, passports, and important documents (like deeds) in forgotten stacks all the time.
• And the “ouch” one… your home’s value divided by the square foot equals the value of each square foot. How many square feet of your home/office are unusable due to clutter? This is how much it costs to store your clutter.

Absolutely! Particularly bachelors – whether young or established. Male clients are much more apt to say, “just let me know when you’re done” versus building personalized systems along side an organizer.

Here’s the thing – we highly value our client’s privacy and have to make sure that nothing in our photos or on our website could identify them. Could you imagine someone recognizing your house as the messy Before pic? Ugh. Some of the amazing After pics are on social media.

Organized Chick has a 5-star rating on The Google, but we focus more on word of mouth referrals.

Each project starts with a $75 consultation. We walk through the space to get an understanding of the project scope and the client’s budget.

After each assessment, we recommend the best package that fits your needs and a deposit of ½ the amount of the chosen package is due at time of completing the service agreement.

Sometimes a project is one person for one day on an hourly basis; sometimes it’s a team of six for a week with additional services like scheduled trash pick-up, donation pick-up, closet installation, and touch-up painting. We charge per hour per organizer.

We communicate throughout the project to stay within the agreed budget and then take payment at the end. For longer projects, we progress bill after key milestones.

The Client agrees to commit to an initial payment of 50% on all packages or A La Carte Jobs at the time of signing this agreement. The second half of the payment will be processed automatically four (4) weeks later. The card used for this first invoice will be the card used for future automatic payments. If the card is due to expire and/or the card on file needs to be changed, it is the Client’s responsibility to let the Service Provider know via a written email. Other items to note include:

• Hours are calculated in 30-minute increments.
• Payments may be made in cash, check, credit card.
• Checks should be made payable to “Organized Chick, LLC”

Purchasing a package does not guarantee all work will be completed in that specific amount of time. The Service Provider will work diligently to help you reach your goals, however, we cannot foresee unexpected delays in the organizing process. Every effort will be made to complete your project on time and to keep you apprised of any delays or changes in the timeframe. Hours will expire if not used after one (1) year.

NSF FEES: There is a $30 NSF (insufficient funds) fee for declined or returned payments.

Relocation projects are all prepaid and must be paid at full before scheduling. For longer projects, we progress bill after key milestones.

We accept all major debit/credit cards. We add a 2.5% processing fee for some payment methods.

Yes and No. Did you know that there is a hoarding scale? Learn more about it HERE. We specialize helping clients that fall in the hoarding scale up to 3.

Here’s the thing – only about 1% of the population are “hoarders”, and we don’t use that term. We understand the psychology behind a Hoarding Disorder and help those who are working through it, but we actually work more with those with ADHD.

[looking at the brain sideways] The back part is where you learn (knowledge); the front part is where you do (performance).

ADHD keeps the front + back from working together. ADHD clients can know how to organize, but their brain doesn’t connect physically putting an item back on the shelf in a labeled box.

Hiring professional organizers (not housekeepers) to build super-easy auto-pilot systems helps a lot. We also do Routine Maintenance visits to help catch up when they get off track.

YES. But make sure the recipient wants to get organized. The worst thing you could do is offend or hurt someone’s feelings.

It’s like this – do you want your spouse, mother-in-law, or best friend gifting you a membership to the gym or Weight Watchers? That’s probably a Hard

No. It’s a little offensive and feels like, “I’m not sayin’ but I’m just sayin’ – you could use a little help.”

Many clients appreciate a few hours of unpacking service as a house warming gift.

Our clients are all over Metro Atlanta. As a general rule, we usually work in the surrounding communities, specifically Lawrenceville, Suwannee, Hamilton Mill, Buford, Peachtree Corners. We charge a travel fee of .58 for anything exceeding 20 miles out of Lawrenceville, GA.

Cancellations due to inclement weather will be based upon the decision of Gwinnett County Public School for school closures or the reasonable discretion of the Service Provider.

Telephoned or video meetings must be prescheduled no less than 48 hours prior. Forty-eight (48) hours notice is also required for rescheduling appointments. There will be a fee equal to 50% of the time booked, for any missed appointments.

A HUGE disclaimer here: consult your tax advisor for your particular situation.

That being said, there are some clients who are able to write off organizing and task-related services as legitimate business expenses. Some clients also ask us to issue 1099s for work performed. We will work with you in every way we can to provide receipts and EIN information to allow you to take the best tax advantage of our services.

Yes and no. Organized Chick isn’t considered a cleaning company. There are other companies that are far more skilled and efficient at cleaning a house from top to bottom.

That being said – we understand the psychological and energetic value of a clean space and keep cleaning supplies with us.

If there’s a spot that hasn’t seen the light of day in a long time like baseboards behind a stack of boxes, we’ll definitely get a soapy cloth and take care of it.

We’re here to serve you – and make life simpler.

You bet. Check out our service HERE.

Organizing as you move into a new place is awesome – a blank slate for everyone. We help motivate you to get it done plus provide the extra hands to get it done quickly.

First, we take great care not to let that happen. Your belongings are important to us because they’re important to you.

IF something happens, Organized Chick is licensed and insured. We’ll remedy any situation as soon and as smoothly as possible.
