Every project we do is unique to the person and the place. As part of your customized proposal, we always include estimated organizing hours, the number of spaces and amount stuff you own. Our Hourly rate is $150/hour for 2 organizers, and $75 per additional organizer. We organize within a minimum 6-hour day to maximum 8hr-day.
We value your time, and can give you an estimate after seeing your space in person at the consultation.

During your consultation, we will discuss budget, whether you want to use your current organizing products, add to them, or start from scratch to create your ideal aesthetic.
With Shelf-Esteem, we help create the perfect balance of flow and flawlessness in your space.

We can help you figure it out during your consult! Share with us the spaces where you feel the most overwhelmed (you don’t even want to walk in the room). Give us the hard stuff!

You are paying us for our expertise and completely done for you experience. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that what we implement, will be right the first time! We save you time and energy spent on nights and weekends you would have spent, decluttering, shopping for what you need, setting up systems and labeling.
Even if your partner is skeptical, we will win them over! (We always do!) It’s hard to understand the impact organization can make on your day-to-day life. Once you experience organization first hand, you’ll want systems in every room of your home!

For Packing and Unpacking, as soon as you know you are moving, get on our calendar. For all regular organizing projects, generally 2-3 weeks out is a good time frame, so we have plenty of time for consult, planning, and ordering products.
Decluttering-only and Refresh sessions require less to little lead time and can often be booked the same week, if we have appointments available.

Absolutely! Solving tricky problems is our bread and butter. We are not cookie-cutter organizers! We thrive on spaces that feel overwhelming and challenging to you because we’ve organized and reorganized our own spaces so many times that we’ve (hands-on) figured out what works and doesn’t work.
Experience a Transition with Patience, Purpose, and Professionalism.
Let’s make this next chapter feel lighter, calmer, and beautifully organized.
