Okay, okay. Life can be overwhelming, and I got to the point where my home was buried in stuff. Not…read morequite hoarder-level, but I could see it on the horizon. I met the owner, Mary Cate, while walking my dog. We got to talking, and when she told me what she does, I grabbed her and made her come look at my stuff. I had a LOT of stuff. She patiently described options for handling my things, and I chose to hold a auction. Kind of like an estate sale for the living... and boy, howdy, did it work. Not only did she come over to direct me and my piles of debris, she coached me on what to keep and, more importantly, what I could let go. It wasn't a one-time service. She gave solid tips on why and how I need to look at my space to keep the clutter from reoccurring. And she did it all in a way that made me feel good about it, rather than like when your mom tells you to clean your room and you go sulking off. I wanted to clean for Mary Cate! By the time she finished working with me, I felt like a champ! Seriously, having a professional organizer saved my life. Totally worth every penny!

It makes such a difference to hire CERTIFIED Organizers! Mary Kate and Christine were absolutely…read morewonderful to work with. They had great ideas for organization around my house that I would have never come up with. They were also so intentional with their role. Before they started, they got to know me and my organization style so they only set up systems that aligned with my personality. I am so happy and relieved to have my playroom and kids items organized. My daughter has been playing nonstop in the playroom and loves going in there. And so do I! I used to avoid going in the basement because it stressed me out so much, but not anymore. I highly recommend hiring the incredible organizers with Charm City Organizers. It makes such a difference!!

A few years ago, I was very sick and in the hospital for three months. I was separated from my…read morehusband but we were still best friends. I had purchased a condo in his building in order to be close and cook and look after him. I was slowly getting better but he was much older than me and had many health issues, including being almost blind. I had had all my belongings moved from Potomac, MD to my new condo at the Risteau. I had been staying at my ex-husband's place in the same building while I recovered from multiple surgeries. I monitored the delivery of my boxes and furniture from Potomac. Everything was fine, so I went to my husband's unit to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night, having tremors. My husband freaked out and called the ambulance. Turns out I had kidney failure and stayed in the hospital for a week while they solved the problem of a blocked ureter. More surgery. My husband knew I had to put together all the stuff in my new condo and organize. Clothes folded and hung up. Books shelved. Kitchen completely organized. Furniture situated. Family pictures and knickknacks appropriately displayed. He called you! He had a personal friendship with you. I came home from the hospital and was shocked! My new condo looked like something from a magazine. Sweaters folded so perfectly, the way they look in fancy shops. Kitchen perfectly organized. I started crying. I had been sitting in the hospital wondering how in the world I would get up the strength to even unpack one box. Fletcher and these wonderful women made me forever grateful. I told him it was probably one of the very best things he had done for me in 26 years! He passed away not too long after and I was never able to thank you for all you did for me. This is the best little company on the planet. I love you! Tracey Hall

To be honest, there was quite a bit of sparkling left to be done. We were not aware that there was an option for them to come prior to installation for a fee and clean up the closet walls.

We are disappointed and will not use them again.

Emilie is absolutely fabulous! We moved from the West Coast to Baltimore in October 2021 and…read morepurchased a row home in Federal Hill. The home had been updated 10 years ago and was very eclectic. We had never felt totally settled in our prior home and wanted to work with a designer to feel totally settled into our new life across the country. In reviewing numerous Yelp and google reviews, we found Emilie at Home Methods and instantly fell in love with her bold and bright color palettes and the right amount of eclectic and classic to really match our personalities. We were still in escrow when we met Emilie and she came over to the home even before closing to take measurements and help us start envisioning our new home. Emilie walked us through every part of the process with expertise and enthusiasm. Emilie gave us quotes for helping pick out design ideas at various cost levels as well as helping us install her vision with appropriate contractors, delivery personnel, and shipping/storing until installment day. In the first round we decided on living room/dining room furniture, wallpaper/paint, art and decor. Once we were living in the home, we realized we needed to update the hardwood floors, which were not standing up to our pack of pets. Emilie helped us then identify some awesome luxury plank vinyl to protect the original hardwood underneath and a fantastic professional to install them. All of Emilies contractors were professional, kind, prompt, and provided excellent work product. Emilie herself is kind, personable, incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, enthusiastic, and flexible. We literally could not have imagined a better working relationship with such a big task. We absolutely love our home and all of the design choices that Emilie helped us make. With such an eclectic home she helped us marry the right balance of punchy and timeless, not to mention durable with 4 dogs and a cat. If you are looking for any home design project, big or small, Emilie is the right choice. We will continue to use her for ongoing updates and additions in the future because it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you Emilie for making this huge transition so easy and turning a house into a home!

Relocating after 16 years to a condo across many state lines was a daunting task, and I honestly couldn't do it by myself. After speaking with Joan, she and her team came out to the condo twice. They've not only organized multiple rooms of items efficiently, but also helped to significantly improve all of our mental health. Joan is a diligent and patient individual. She showed compassion and willingness to listen to all of us as we tried to process this very overwhelming task. I GREATLY APPRECIATE everything they've done for us. And as more are helping to care for their elderly parents and/or downsize/move into a new home/transition of some kind, these folks are clearly worth their weight in gold. I wish I would've called sooner! I hope that this review will help nudge someone in this direction- You DON'T have to do this alone!

We were discussing our thoughts before going in and were parked in a spot designated for this store. An employee of the store rudely told us to move because it was for his store. He had an oversized red truck that he was unable to park and probably shouldn't have if he can't park it. We moved to another spot but then decided if patrons could not park in a spot designated for the store they are going to and are so rudely addressed it's not worth our time and money. Good job on losing a sale.
