We have answers.

What are the costs involved in hiring Perfectly Practical? 

Currently, Perfectly Practical works at $65.00 per hour with a 3 hour minimum. If you have a certain aesthetic style in mind, and therefore would like to invest in organizational products like baskets, closet systems, and bins, the final cost will vary. Organizational products can be purchased at a variety of price points, and we will present those different price options. These are invoiced to you at our cost. You do not need to purchase any organizational products in advance. We will provide these or work with you and sometimes you already have what is needed. We work very hard to be open and upfront about the cost of organization and we will work with whatever budget you have. 

How do I book a free consultation or project session?

Click on the Contact Us button above to let us know you are interested in booking a consultation. You can also email us directly at perfectlypracticalLLC@gmail.com. Consultations are a 20 minute complimentary, no obligation meeting that allow us to assess your project space, get to know you, and see if we are a good fit to work together! 

Full disclosure: we are not certified in assisting clients who battle with hoarding or hoarding tendencies, but would be happy to refer professional organizers who do specialize in this area. While we are always willing to help any client, sometimes that means helping find the right professional, even if it’s not us.

After our initial consultation, if you are interested in booking a session, we will schedule a project time where we will work together to sort, edit, remove the items not needed or wanted, and put everything that's staying into the new organizational system. Sessions start at a minimum of 3 hours or $195. Additional team members are $30 per hour depending upon the scope of your project. We work hard to create a system that is going to bring maximum to success to you and your household. This can take time and we may need to rework things until you're satisfied!

How should I prepare for a work session?

Here’s the good news…there is no need to clean up. In fact, we insist you don't tidy up any clutter, especially before your complementary consultation. It helps us to see your space in its normal state. That way, we can address where the clutter is piling up and we can look at ways to help eliminate it and organize it. 

With that being said, if we will be working on closets, bedrooms, laundry rooms or any project involving clothes, we ask that you please try to have all of the clothes you own washed and ready to be assessed. We want to ensure all items have a home and fit well in the allotted space which can be difficult without all of the clothing items present.

If you’d like to vacuum, dust, mop and sanitize any spaces we won’t complain, especially if we will be working in your bathroom. While we appreciate this, we understand without judgement that we are coming in to help you with your problem area, so no need for apologies…ever. Life happens.

One of the best things that you can do is imagine how you'd like the space to be. Jot down a few goals, check out our Pinterest board for inspiration and styles that you like, or just be thinking about what you would really love as an end result. This will helps us realize those dreams.

What are you doing to help prevent the spread of Covid-19?

During this pandemic, we are committed to health and safety. At this point, we are fully vaccinated and have limited social interactions. We will wear a mask upon arrival and use proper hand-washing and sanitizing techniques at all times. We also brings our own food and drink, so no need to offer.  Though during project sessions it's difficult to maintain 6-feet at all times we will do our best.

Please note: You are not required to wear a mask, though it is encouraged if it does not impede your health. Since we are in your space, we will leave that up to you. You are also welcome to eat or drink anything in your home, especially if our project session is for a longer period of time.

What do you do with items I no longer want or need?

Perfectly Practical will remove from your space any items that can fit in our car. We have a network of companies and organizations to get items into the hands of those who need, including shelters and donation-based stores or facilities. 

Some items need to be thrown out, so unfortunately, some items will have to be recycled or tossed into your bins. We cannot take trash or recyclables, but can point you in the right direction if the items shouldn't go in your own trash or recycle receptacles. 

We usually donates items shortly after receiving them.  Perfectly Practical believes that letting go of items no longer serving you is great, but we also want to make sure you don't accidentally lose anything you truly need or treasure. During the editing process, we don't want clients to feel rushed to decide on items, instead, we will create a "Wait and See" pile for you to assess before final decisions are made. 

Please note: If you need a tax receipt for your donations, let us know ahead of time so we can be sure to get one and write the items down. Once the items are donated, it can be difficult to keep track. Once we have taken your donated items, they will not be able to be returned to you.

Do you offer gift certificates?

Giving someone our organization services is an excellent gift. Helping someone get organized is a wonderful idea.

Packages are sold in groups of 3, 6, 9+ hours. This is because most projects take a minimum of 3 or more hours, and each project varies in it's exact time length. These organizational packages do not automatically include the purchase of organizational products like baskets, containers and bins, so you can add an additional cover charge of $50, $100 or more to cover the cost. We will send you a digital file via email containing the personalized gift certificate made especially for the occasion. You can purchase these over the phone, through Venmo (@perfectlypractical), Square (https://squareup.com/gift/MLY41YNQWJ5B1/order) or in person.

Please note: Although Perfectly Practical believes organization is a great gift, this doesn't mean that everyone is ready to do the work and partner with us to reclaim their space. If you are gifting organization services to someone, please be sure they want to get organized. This should never be a subtle hint that they are too messy. This is a unique experience and can be challenging to go through if you aren’t ready. If you are sure your Gift Recipient is on board, we are ready to help. 

What methods does Perfectly Practical use during the organization process?

Perfectly Practical LLC believes that no one method works for everyone. We have done a mountain of research to be prepared to develop the best strategies and tools for our clients. We have taken many of the best ideas from the KonMari method, The Home Edit method and the Outside-In method. We have also developed our own methods around the organizational process from our own experience and are prepared to adapt to your individual needs.
