FAQ
1. Do I have to book a consultation first?
I recommend the consultation so we can make the most of your in person appointment time! I'll even deduct the consultation fee from your first service booked! However, if you are located in the Marquette or Escanaba areas and would prefer to book a direct session for 2-4 hours, feel free to skip the consultation.
Outside the Marquette or Escanaba areas, I do require the consultation so I can be sure you're booked at a time I can arrive on time for our appointment.
Additionally, if you're on the fence please book the consultation - I'd love to chat with you and make sure we're booking the right service!
It is NOT required if you've already worked with me before and need a quick refresh on that space.
2. What areas of the UP do you work in?
I'm happy to serve any area of the UP as time allows. My online booking is set up to accommodate service in Marquette and Escanaba, so please book a consultation if you are outside that area.
Additional mileage or accommodation fees may apply in areas greater than 70 miles from Gladstone.
3. What materials do you supply?
I'll come to your home with basic cleaning supplies (a duster, antibacterial wipes, etc), up to 3 cardboard boxes for your donations, and trash bags. The basics for getting the job done. We can absolutely use your preferred products if you'd like, though.
4. What materials do I need to supply?
I leave it up to you to supply the organizational and storage bins, labels, etc. I do this because everyone has a different style and needs. Also, most of us have bought the bins with high hopes of doing this project and they're sitting collecting either stuff or dust somewhere in our homes (I'm guilty too!). And, if you don't need or want the aesthetics of perfect matching bins...well, a cardboard box works just as well - especially in unseen areas of your home. And, sometimes, they just aren't needed at all.
If you want guidance on what to buy because you want or need to - book a consultation we can discuss that then and give you time to order or shop before your in person session!
5. Do I need to participate/be present for my appointment?
Participation depends on the session!
In a declutter - absolutely yes! I cannot decide for you what sentimental items to keep or donate. I do not know what kitchen gadgets you use or don't or what size clothes you and your family wear. Decluttering is personal and I definitely I need your input!
In an organization session - I'll leave that up to you. If you want a hand in what like items go together and how they sit in your space I'd love to work directly with you. If you want me to group your items and put them away for you and show you around at the end - I'm happy to get it done for you.
Regardless of service and participation, I do require you be somewhere in the home or office. Working from home in another room, playing with your kids, or whatever you want to do is fine by me, as long as you are available and present.
