Although I've always been an organized person, having been employed as an efficiency-expert for much of my career, I found myself suddenly "stuck" after the unexpected death of my husband.
Fast forward two-years later, and I felt as though I was still running in circles around my 3000 square foot home; unable to finish even the simplest of projects. My closet was broken and in complete disarray. My attic and garage were bursting at the seams with who-knows-what, and my office was stacked so high with clutter and boxes that I could not even open the door. Worst of all, my mind felt as muddled and confined as my home.
This was my state-of-being when I finally found Judy and Wendy. Their glowing reviews on Yelp! inspired me to reach out. Once I met these wonderful ladies in person, I knew I did not want to work with anyone else. Their calm and confident demeanors put me at ease, immediately. Both are warm and friendly and easy to talk to, without allowing my constant jabbering to distract either one of them from the task at hand.
Best of all, the job of organizing my home did not appear to daunt them at all.
We agreed on a fair price and began working together the next week. Not only did they make quick work of the attic, doubling the space available for use, but Judy and Wendy also purchased and supplied new containers for my holiday ornaments, ensuring I will be able to locate and unpack my decorations in half the time this next holiday season. They even went so far as to draw me a map to help me find my things!
From there, we worked our way through my home, quickly finishing the second floor before moving on to the first. Judy and Wendy even went so far as to help me reorganize my late husband's tool chests, and to decided which tools to keep and which to give away.
Additional services provided by these ladies included:
* Boxing-up and arranging for the pick-up of donated and consignment items (five truck loads in all),
* Purchasing, on my behalf, all the new containers, boxes, and baskets used in organizing my attic, linen closet, bathroom, pantry, office, etc...,
* Providing decision-making advice whenever nostalgia got the best of me, allowing me to let go of surplus or unnecessary items, without my feeling guilty or a sense of loss,
* Shredding of sensitive documents and outdated tax records,
* Listing and selling of valuable items on eBay,
* Creating new organizational systems that I continue to use to this day, ensuring my home remains orderly and contained.
Best of all though, Judy and Wendy gave me my life back. With each room we attacked, I felt my spirts begin to lift and a sense of control over my life regained.
Even my friends have noticed, commenting on how good I seem these days. And they are right. I feel better now than I have in two-plus years, and much of it is owed to Judy and Wendy. Without their help, I'm confident I'd still be stuck in the same disorganized trap I could not find my way out of on my own.
I cannot recommend Judy's Hands enough. If you are considering hiring professional organizers for any reason, do yourself a favor and call them first. I am positive you will be glad you did.
