I appreciated how easy Terri was to coordinate with - she even did a FaceTime with me before the session to give me some organization product ideas. Amy was our organizer on the day and she was lovely to work with. She helped us go through our master closet in a very nonjudgmental and straightforward way. She helped us donate almost 3 bags of items. We plan on working with Terri and her team again and would recommend for anyone to hire her for your organizing needs.

After I moved house, I had so many rent-a-crates to unpack and return very quickly. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't move two feet without hitting a box, and unpacking by myself was too slow. I contacted Terri again. Terri couldn't come out to personally help me within my limited window of time, but she has fantastic team members. Kammy came to help me, stayed for just under five hours, and we unpacked every rent-a-crate plus all of the cardboard boxes! There is a little left to do in order to make my new place feel like home, but Kammy's help means that 95% of the work is done. I am so pleased with The Chicago Organizer. Terri and Kammy are kind, professional, quite fair in their pandemic requirements, and most of all -- HELPFUL. Money well spent again!

Highly recommend A W Cleaning and Organization.

We turned a pantry that had a rice cooker next to the 4 boxes of baking soda into something that doesn't give me constant anxiety. She also helped with kitchen cabinets that had been panic stashed during the move. Kiersten was so professional & had a wealth of sources for me. I'm feeling so much better. This isn't the final, final. But it will give you a great idea of what we got accomplished in 3 hours. Bread box & potato container enroute. AMAZING.

I called on Chaos to Order to help me purge and organize, and I must say that I was so happy that I did. I highly recommend them for your organizing needs. From the initial consultation, the team took the time to understand my needs and specific challenges that I faced in my new home. They provided solutions and helped me to organize things that I loved and to purge the items that were obstructing my headspace and happiness. I was so very pleased and impressed with this company. They were prompt, efficient and showed a true passion and enthusiasm for what they did. I now not only have organization but also the structure and the tools necessary to maintain a clutter-free home! It brings me joy to walk into my newly-organized space and gives me the motivation to maintain it. Thank you, Chaos to Order, for giving me back my peace!

I called them because when I checked in it said "delayed", but I didn't know if that was what their system was saying because two of the items I ordered apparently weren't in stock. The guy on the phone said that he just saw someone go back so they'd be out shortly. Seven minutes later, they did bring out a curbside order for the car that had come since I was sitting there. At this point I'd been waiting at least 20 minutes so I called back and cancelled the entire order. It was my own naïveté and hope that visiting the most convenient store (since we were in the Loop) might be ok this time. If you have to order from here just do it online.

I have a little IGTV show, and she was cool with being a part of it. We cleaned one side of my SUPER cluttered closet. And she gave me homework to work on the other sides. She would hand me boxes, I'd go through them and separate into shred, donate, garbage, recycle, or keep, and hand them back and we worked like that for the entire 3 hours. It's been maybe a month since she came and that side of my closet still looks like the day she left. It's kinda weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you go through your clutter, but just remember, they are there to help, not to judge. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sent a message saying I wanted her to come back and I just never heard back from them anymore. I'm thinking my place was probably tooooooo much of a cluster for her. EEK!!!

I'm not going to pay someone $65 per hour to purge my closet and organize my 250 sq. studio. I found SOS on Yelp. The 5-star reviews seemed questionable but after my experience, they deserve them! I started with a 3-hour appointment with Callie. She's an absolute doll. I am amazed by her creative organizing solutions! We went through my walk-in closet and kitchen. It helps to help. I couldn't just sit back and watch her organize my belongings. It can be tedious, but it's worth it! We accomplished A LOT. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't have the motivation or drive. I can see my floor again! I found my favorite sweater! Everything makes sense now! I love, love, LOVE how organized my apartment is. I am so happy I found SOS and met Callie! I finally got it done! Plus: It feels nice coming home now.

You get reminders the week of your service and can always reach out if something needs to be adjusted. We've been a customer for the last 6 months. I only meant to get things cleaned around the holidays but they did such a good job that it's a wonderful monthly treat. Each time we've had a cleaning we've been happy, in particular we appreciate Ana M.'s service and detail orientation. We request to work with Ana for our regular monthly cleaning but any member of the team provides a great service. The staff is equipped with their own supplies making it really hands off for the customer. I do like to declutter counter tops and tables to ensure she can get to surfaces, but she'll also neatly arrange stuff if a few stray items happen to be on a counter top. One of my favorite surprises is how she leaves towels, toilet paper, and paper towels in little flowers and bows. Each member of the team does this in different ways. It's a very small but nice touch to remind me that my home is fresher and that someone took care with that detail. Excellent company and service. Very professional and courteous.

However, I did have a goal, to sell the home as quickly as possible. Taking our goal into consideration, and listening to our needs, Kate deployed a swift plan of action. Her attention to detail was impeccable. The beautiful accessories Kate used throughout the home, paired with modern furniture and other design elements, brought the home back to life - a creative masterpiece. It truly was a stunning sight to see. I'm happy to report that the home sold quickly! Thank you, Interior Chicago for listening, caring, communicating, executing, and designing the perfect experience for us.

I decided it finally had to be done, so I searched the Yelp reviews and found Jessica. I spent 5 hours total with Jessica, got rid of two black garbage bags full of paper, and now I have a new filing system free of old stuff. A few points: 1. I'm a perfectionist, so working with Jessica enabled me to feel less overwhelmed by the task and the need to have it completed TODAY. 2. Jessica did not push me to spend more time than I was able given my health. 3. It's as if Jessica gave me the okay to have a memory box that wasn't organized. She said to just throw the things in the box, so that's what I did. And, she's right. My memory box doesn't have to be perfectly paper clipped and organized by year (call me crazy, but I said I'm a perfectionist!) 4. Jessica arrives early. Those of you who wait until the last minute...DON'T. No complaints here; I'm just making you aware. What a great quality :) 5. Jessica WORKS. This is not a coffee clatch to her. She concentrates and gets things DONE. 6. AFFORDABLE. Time is money; however, I have lots of time and little money. 'Nuf said. This was an awesome experience for me...spiritually cleansing to say the least. No more feeling weighed down by "stuff". Thank you so much, Jessica!! So glad I met you, and so happy to have accomplished so much with your assistance!!

Jess helped me figure out what needed to be thrown out , got boxes together for donations , storage , or garbage. By the time the four hours were over I had an empty bookcase, and empty closet and three bins empty. Jess will take things away the garbage, the dumpster, or to be donated. You don't get a second chance to change your mind. The things that I did want to keep , she help me organize them in a really good fashion , so I can easily get to them and not get overwhelmed. I cannot say enough good things about JS. Jess's enthusiasm, her knowledge and her passion help make an overwhelming experience pleasant with a really great outcome.
