CLIENTS

Mollie L.

I am extremely happy with Thea and her team! They did an amazing job cleaning out my home which I purchased in 98. I could not believe how much I had accumulated over the years and the affect it had on my peace of mind. My kids don’t want anything I thought they would, so why keep hanging on. I have tried at times to do it myself but it was too overwhelming.
Thea came in with absolutely no judgement and accomplished miracles. I am forever grateful to her and her team for all their hard work . They are very professional, respectful people and made this easy. Now I have peace and serenity and am so grateful for it. I highly recommend Thea and Team!!!

Beth G.

Thea and Mark did an amazing job. We have a huge basement and it was filled with priceless mementos and random junk. We had tried and failed repeatedly to clear it out, and we were so sick of being hardly able to move down there. In just two short days, they cleared it out and re-organized what was left. They were respectful of our priceless possessions, and hauled away the junk — and carefully remembered which was which. They were efficient, personable, and fun to talk to. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

 

Clayton H.

Thea’s organizing service was piece of mind for our family in a few key ways. Help clearing out the things in our life we had no need for, sustainably upcycling or recycling our waste, and helping with closing out our rental with Mark doing some clutch patching and repair work. Can’t recommend them enough!

Arlene A.

Thea helped me sooo much! In preparing for a cross-country move I needed assistance in going through everything and really answering the questions: “Do I really need this?” and “Do I really want this?” Sounds easy, but I still had unpacked boxes from my last move 10 years ago to say otherwise… Thea kept me focused in a kind, but firm manner and brought energy to a project I had been avoiding long after I would have quit. She inspired me to do a good job, and we did! I can’t even describe the feeling of accomplishment and lightness I have!

Rebecca L.

It’s amazing how much she can get done in the amount of time she is at the location. It is always amazing and a pleasure to get through the project. The transformation of the room is stunning. You will not be disappointed in hiring this organizing service. She communicates with compassion and gentle assistance in releasing and rehoming loved items that are no longer of use.

The feeling you get when you walk in the final completed project is astounding. Don’t wait until tomorrow to hire her, hire her today!

Joel S.

Thea’s team was amazing. We were clearing out a property so we could close a sale. She and her team took the lead implementing their system of sorting. They took a great burden from my wife and myself so we could actually focus on other things.

 

Helen M.

Thea is the amazing organizer everyone wishes they had in their lives! Her approach to decluttering and organizing is nothing short of magical. Her keen eye for detail, combined with a practical, no-nonsense approach, transformed my chaotic garage into a well-organized, functional space. Not only is Thea incredibly efficient, but her friendly demeanor and genuine passion for organization make the entire experience enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring order to their clutter. With Thea, prepare to be amazed at how simply orderly your space can become!

 

Sarah S.

Thea and her husband are wonderful to work with. They were fast, efficient, friendly, and great at what they do! Knowing that our usable unwanted items would be going to people in need definitely made it easier to part with things. I will hire them again for any organizing and purging needs and I highly recommend that you do too!

Charlie V.

We used Thea’s Organizing Services for their pack-out / pack-in services and it was a great experience! They provided us with a schedule and they stuck to it. Everything was packaged and moved with great care by their team of friendly professionals. Highly recommend!!

Breanna P.

Thea did an incredible job of organizing our bathroom closet and vanity! It went from a complete mess to a Pinterest worthy closet. She asked what I was hoping for it to look like so I sent pictures and she far exceeded my expectations! Easy to work with and affordable!

Sarah

Thea is a genius! Not only did she transform my space to look and feel amazing, but she created and taught me systems so that I can maintain my organized space. It’s been almost a month, and all three areas that she transformed have stayed clutter free and functional. I now love to be in my home office area!
The best, unintended, consequence of hiring Thea to clean one area has been that the whole family was immediately motivated to start purging, cleaning, and organizing other areas in our home as a result of Theas work. Highly recommend!
