Before starting any work, we do an-in-home consultation, which involves a room by room walk thru in order to determine the current condition of the property. Once the walk-thru is done, we sit down with the client to explain our process to get the property in proper order. Next, we set a start date. Prior to day #1, we design a detailed planogram of how each room will look at the end. This way, we know what to keep, toss, donate or sell. In many cases, there may be a need for one or more outside contractors that include a: roofer, plumber, electrician, basement water proofer, septic inspector, wells inspector, mold remediation expert, landscaper, junk hauler, dumpster, shredding company, moving company, donation center, scrap metal hauler, painter, outside buyers for valuables including jewelry, gold, silver and artwork.
With the planogram done, it is time to start the actual organizing process:
Declutter the property: room by room:
*Throw out all trash
* Throw out all recycling
*Schedule bulk junk remover to have bulk trash and unwanted or unsellable furniture taken away.
*Schedule bulk junk remover to have bulk trash and unwanted or unsellable furniture taken away.
*Sort between keep items, other room items, donation items and items to be sold. The keep and other room items are placed in clear bins that are labelled by category and room. As the bins are filled, the bins for the room being organized are kept in that room and stacked on top of each other, from heaviest on the bottom to lightest on the top, against an open wall. Likewise, the other bin rooms' bins are taken to their appropriate rooms, and stacked on top of each other, from heaviest on the bottom to lightest on the top, against an open wall. Those items will then be accessible to be arranged in the proper room and the proper place in that room.
*Likewise, keep furniture stays in the room and other room furniture is moved to the proper rooms.
*For donations, all clothing is packed in trash bags and everything else is boxed into small, medium, large or extra large boxes depending on the size of the donated items. The boxes are labeled donations along with the content types. All the boxed and bagged items are then donated to a Thrift Shop or church.
*if necessary, needed outside contractors are scheduled to make necessary home repairs and/or replacements.
*Finally, the items to be sold at a house, yard, house garage or estate sale; consigned, or sold on-line are stored in cardboard moving boxes labelled by category and contents. For example: to sell, yard sale: kitchen goods. The boxes are then stored in a garage, basement, storage unit or shed until the day of a yard sale, on-line listing or taken to a consigner. In addition, items in the bins are priced, so on the day of the sale it will be a snap to set-up because the pricing and category sections will already be complete.
*Arrangement of the furniture, home décor; and wherever applicable, closets, drawers, cabinets and appliances.
*All that is left to is to give the room a detailed cleaning.
