The Process:

1. I will first schedule a complimentary 20 min call to hear about your goals, budget, and to make sure we are a good fit.

2. We can then schedule an on-site assessment to give you a time and cost estimate for your project.

3. The team will work with you in 4 hour blocks of time. We take every item out and sort it into categories, making it as easy as possible for you to make decisions about what stays and what goes. This is the stage where we need your attention. Seeing everything together makes decisions easier – we will facilitate the decision points to help you choose what stays, becomes a donation, or heads to the garbage bin. The pace will be up to how quickly you can make decisions.

4. Once we have decluttered, you can relax while we will put everything away, organizing into zones and giving everything a home.

5. Your organizer will devise custom storage solutions for you, while maximizing your space. We always utilize storage and bins from what you own first, keeping new purchases to an absolute minimum. Finally, we will give you a tour so you know where all of your things are. Labeling is recommended for the household to maintain the new system.

6. We will take one carload per session of donation items and take the garbage out before leaving.

Moving or helping a loved one move to Assisted Living?

Most moving companies that say they offer unpacking services actually only offer “unwrapping” services. They remove belongings from moving boxes and place them on a flat surface. The Well Kept team actually put the belongings into cupboards and inside drawers according to clients’ preferences. We take the time to ask you how you cook — then we place the cookware in the most accessible spot. We arrange your wardrobe according to color and style. We set up your home office desk based on whether you are right- or left-handed. We do not just unpack your house, we set up your home.

$100 Hourly. Can add team members to speed up the process.

FAQs:

Do You Offer Team-Based Professional Organizing in San Diego?

Yes, for larger projects or when facing tight deadlines, we can provide additional organizers to ensure your organizing needs are met efficiently. Our services are priced based on organizer hours. For example, a 12-hour project requiring two organizers would be calculated as follows: 2 organizers x $100/hour x 6 hours = $1,200.

Do I Need to Buy Storage Bins and Shelving for Organizing?

While not mandatory, matching and functional storage solutions can significantly enhance the appearance and efficiency of your space. If you're interested in purchasing organizational products, we offer a wide range of recommendations to fit all budgets. I can provide a shopping list, and you can either purchase the items before our next session or opt for them to be picked up en route to speed up the process.

Where Do Donated Items Go?

We are committed to supporting our community through donations. Items can be donated to local thrift shops, a Tijuana orphanage charity run by a friend, or a San Diego-based domestic violence shelter, depending on the nature and suitability of the items.

*The total cost and time of a project is dependent on several factors including:

  • Pace in which you make decisions regarding what is kept, discarded, and donated

  • Quantity of items

  • Size of space

  • We estimate each project as close as possible but sometimes these factors can affect our estimate. If we end up finishing earlier than expected, you will have extra hours of credit where we can come back and provide maintenance and tidying. If we need more time, we can charge by the hour to complete the project.
