13 Carpinteria, CA Closet and Home Storage Designers & Organizers

If your home is in disarray or you need to get clutter under control, it may be time to seek professional help. Professional organizers can help you get almost any space back in shape, whether it’s your office, master closet, the kids’ playroom, or the entire house.

What professional organizers do? Professional organizers might cover all types of organizing needs, or they may specialize in common problem areas. The former may be able to come in and regain control of your entire house, while the latter might help organize specific projects such as closets, offices, paperwork, collections, or family records and memorabilia. Depending on the project, professional organizers may also design custom organization systems for your space.

In addition to clearing clutter and creating order, professional organizers often coach you on how best to maintain that newfound organization. Certain professionals are trained to help the chronically disorganized or those suffering from problems that may interfere with their ability to maintain order, such as attention deficit disorder. Some will even help you plan and organize a cross-country move.

What to consider when hiring a professional organizer? Before hiring a professional organizer, consider exactly what you need. Have you just moved into a new home and have no idea where to put everything? You may want to consider an organizer who specializes in room-by-room space planning or estate organization. Perhaps you’re faced with a tiny closet and an overflowing wardrobe. In this case, finding a professional who focuses on closets will help you get back on track.

You also want to consider the types of objects that need organization. Are they items like books, family photos, files or collections? You’ll want a professional organizer who has experience designing custom systems that will best fit your needs.

• Can you provide me with references?
• How do you charge and what does that include?
