In part 3 of this blog series, I continue to look at some of the most common reasons why my clients have needed my professional organizing services. Learn more in Part 1 and Part 2 of this blog series.
Reasons to Hire a Professional Organizer:
Organizing Photos & Keepsakes
Do you have many boxes of photographs or keepsakes you’d like to safely store, display, or share with family members? If you have items such as school papers, genealogy records, artwork and travel memorabilia in need of organization, a professional organizer can help you to swiftly and carefully sort these items and suggest appropriate storage products.
Repurposing Rooms
If you need to repurpose any room in your home, a professional organizer can help to clear out a room to make space for its new use and suggest a functional layout and organizing products. I’ve worked with clients transforming a spare room into a nursery, an attic into a bedroom, a grown child’s room into a guest room, and an former home office into a home gym.
After Home Repairs or Renovations
If you’ve experienced an event like a flood in your home, things can quickly become disorganized as you move everything out of the space so it can be repaired. Rooms can also become disorganized after remodeling or renovations such as putting in new carpeting or flooring. It can be very helpful to work with a professional organizer to create a new place for belongings that were dispersed during repairs or renovations.
Paperwork
If you have mountains of paperwork taking over your home, a professional organizer can help sort through these papers, develop a filing system, and offer tips to maintain paper organization.
Garage
If you want to protect your vehicle, create an area for working with tools, or better organize sporting equipment and outdoor toys, a professional organizer can quickly declutter and organize your garage to suit your needs.
Do-It-Yourself Plans
For those who don’t need hands-on organizing services, but want a do-it-yourself home organizing action plan, a professional organizer can visit once for an in-home assessment. After touring your home and discussing your organizational goals and priorities, a professional organizer can provide a do-it-yourself plan with suggested storage solutions..
Time Management
Time can be even more difficult to manage than space. If you have a cluttered calendar, and need personalized tips on how to organize your schedule, a time management consultation from a professional organizer may be right for you.
I had never thought about hiring a professional organizer before, but you bring up a lot of good points in the article. Considering that my spouse and I have a few new rooms in our house that just opened up, I could definitely use some ideas for repurposing them. We’ll have to take your advice and look into some professional organizers in out area and see what they suggest.
