Working with Jill has helped me make the most out of my space…read more This summer, she helped me turn a room that was mostly storage and clutter into a home office. Due to the amount of clutter, I thought it would take two appoint before I could begin using the room as an office but I was able to work in there after the first appointment. She also helped me manage my kitchen clutter which makes it easier for me to cook because I don't have to scramble to find things. Jill was easy to work with. I appreciate her communication skills and calm demeanor. She is good at breaking organizing tasks into small steps. When giving product recommendations, she tries to find the best value. I highly recommend Embrace Your Space to anyone looking for help managing the clutter in their home.

I hired Green Gloss Cleaners for a move-out job a year ago, and they did a great job in my 500…read moresquare foot space. A year later, I hired them again for two other move-out jobs. This one was about 1400 square feet. After 3.5 hours, they said they were finished. I did a walk through and found so many spots that were still dirty. I asked for those spots to be redone (there were quite a few), did another walkthrough, and ended up having to clean it again myself. Instead of offering to do a second walkthrough to make sure they didn't miss anything else, they just stood around waiting for me to point more stuff out once they thought they were finished with the spot I pointed out. For example, there were a bunch of facial hair shavings in a drawer that got missed. I asked if they could go back to clean it. They did and came back downstairs, so I went up and checked, and there were still hairs in it! So I ended up cleaning them out since I needed to get back to work quickly and didn't have time to find every last thing that didn't get cleaned in this house. As I've done a couple more walkthroughs, I've found things that need to be cleaned that are absolutely not excusable. If I'm paying $400 to have a space cleaned, part of that is for a cleaner to be able to see what needs to be cleaned and to take care of it. I canceled the third cleaning job and wouldn't recommend this company to anyone if you're counting on the space actually being clean. EDIT: I offered the option to come earlier in the day to avoid the heat or to use the air conditioner, and they chose not to do either of those. I did not receive any communication that the upstairs was too hot or that a fan was needed (which I could have provided). The cleaner said she wiped down all of the walls. The attached photo is of fingerprints left on a door.

Both of my parents passed away within the same year, and I became overwhelmed trying to clean out their house in Portland. I felt stuck and didn't know where to start. Devon guided me through each room with patience and compassion, giving me time to appreciate the memories attached to their belongings while helping me move forward. With her help, we sorted through the house and got it ready for sale. I was amazed by how quickly and efficiently she worked--she accomplished in hours what I had struggled with for weeks. Devon was such a blessing during a very difficult time. I am so grateful I found her and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Multigenerational households have complicated needs because it requires making, essentially, two families happy in one house. Not only did she help us unpack and organize most of a three car garage worth of boxes, she set up a system that we've been able to maintain. It's magical to know where our things are, and to be able to find them easily. We are so grateful for all her help! Also, Devon is not judgmental at all - I know bringing strangers into messy spaces can be nerve wracking. Devon made us all feel comfortable right from the beginning!

I had a great experience with California Closets. My installation consisted of several bookshelves…read morecustomized to fit an oddly-shaped space, and a pretty standard reach-in bedroom closet. I'm very picky about bookshelves and these are very sturdy and high-quality. The closet is simple but gorgeous--I have never in my life had such a grown-up looking closet. The staff in the store was very helpful every time I stopped by. Our designer, Kate, took the time to think through every detail and thought of all kinds of little issues I wouldn't have considered. She stayed in touch with me over a long period of time as I was doing renovations and juggling a tricky schedule. She always followed up on every detail, and even helped me figure out how other pieces of furniture would fit with my new built-ins. The installation was equally trouble-free--it was all done exactly on schedule, took less time than expected, and the installers took the time to answer my questions and just walk through the whole thing to make sure everything was right. They were installing on top of brand new floors and took great care to protect them, which I very much appreciated. I was told by several friends and design professionals that California Closets was a pricey way to go, so I did shop around and compare prices, as well as quality. I do not have money to burn and definitely did not want to overpay. I could not find a comparable option for the same price anywhere else (nor could the design professionals, when I pressed them to. They were surprised to see that some of the options they thought would be cheaper actually weren't.) I just moved out of a house that I'd filled with cheap, off-the-shelf storage solutions, and as I was moving out, I could really see how badly that kind of stuff ages. Everything was warped, faded, chipped, stained, etc. I could absolutely see the value in stepping up to something that's made to last and has a lifetime guarantee behind it.

I used them for cabinets a couple of years ago. Andrea was a pleasure to work with. The process…read moreto design is fun and makes you feel like a rich person. Everything went great, but then we recently noticed black mold behind one of them. The home was brand new, so this seemed a very strange coincidence. They have a limited lifetime warranty, and I reached out. They did open a claim and came out to inspect. They took off the bottom cabinet and found no damage on their end, so I opened a claim with my insurance. The remediation company came out, and they were baffled on what happened. They had to remove the floating shelves installed above the cabinet and found those screws punctured the water pipe, causing a very slow leak. After showing this to California Closets, they said too long of screws were used. Things happen, and people are human. This has been a long process, but they were professional and repaired/replaced/reinstalled the cabinet after the remediation had been completed. They're hopeful it won't happen again, so fingers crossed. Shout out to Cam, who was helpful throughout the process. The reason for 3 instead of 4 stars is that their insurance company is impossible to get a hold of and denying everything. 4 months into this whole process, and it's still ongoing. A lot of time invested on my side to ensure the homeowners claim is closed out. Zurich American is an interesting company.

Meanwhile, the cabinets were too many and too large to allow us to park both cars in our garage easily. Since my wife and I had a one year old at home, finding the time to do it ourselves wasn't going to happen anytime soon. With Cari's help we removed all of the old cabinets and re-configured the layout and storage in our garage. Cari took care of helping us get rid of un-needed items, configured and purchased new shelving, and even wielded her own power tools when necessary. She was friendly and professional and I'd recommend her for any home organization projects you have.

I hired Cari for a second time because she was so hardworking and thorough 2 years ago when she organized my guest bedroom and storage area. She absolutely crushed it again, going above and beyond to get my stuff sorted by discard, donate or keep lists. She expertly disassembled bed frames, carefully packed up my fragile items (LOTS of them), and purchased boxes and other moving supplies before she began. Cari donated my chosen items to charity and discarded my rejects, and never appeared judgmental when I absolutely couldn't part with my mom's ancient Guardian Ware roasting pan set, despite my admission that I've never actually used it! She is experienced and understands how hard it is to part with some things, but also will respectfully help you decide if you ask her to. So my not being there wasn't a huge issue in the end, and I felt so relieved hiring Cari to take this on when I couldn't. Her prices are reasonable and she is worth every penny. She also happens to be a great human being, is super friendly, funny and smart! I'm hoping to hire her partner in Boulder to help me organize my new place after my things arrive. What a great coincidence for me that Cari expanded her business to Boulder with her business partner before I ever knew I'd be moving here! Thank you so much, Cari!

Sarah's background as an Occupational Therapist means that between hospitals and homes she seen and dealt, with it all. Her approach is very hands on: she arrives ready to go, masked and gloved up, with a rolling bag filled with basic supplies to tackle your mess. Our particular mess was our 1,000 sqft basement that had become a dumping ground for all of the things. It was a disaster (putting it mildly). This was a BIG project. Over the past 2+ months Sarah has been a hands on guide, turning our dumpster fire of crap into a methodically organized, knowable, functional space. She helps as much as needed in making decisions on what stays and goes, provides storage options (she will shop solutions if you like!), and hauls all the extra away to the dump, recycling, or donation centers. Having gone through this process I can say that we could not have done it without Sarah. I eagerly look forward to our sessions. She is delightful to work with, completely non-judgmental, and beyond EFFECTIVE. Our whole family adores her, and the results she brings. So much so, that we signed up for the monthly subscription service that is offered and will continue working with her for the foreseeable future to organize our lives :)
