Erin always leaves with bags and boxes for donation. She has the most energy of anyone I've known and is very efficient with your time. You'll leave feeling SO productive. I've hired her multiple times for different organizing and moving purposes. I've hired Erin for the following projects: Organizing a small space Purchasing affordable organizers for a condo Moving and packing for two people Unpacking a kitchen/setup Decluttering a garage You'll be amazed at how much you'll accomplish in 4 hours with Erin! Erin is incredibly trustworthy and has a great disposition. She is non-judgmental, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor. My partner especially appreciates her upbeat personality and says, "Wow, she makes organizing fun!" I will absolutely use her again for more jobs in the future! Erin is quite philanthropic and really helps out in the community. This is super appealing to me. Her empathic approach is welcomed.

I've admired, coveted and (fine, okay) stalked NEAT Method's Instagram for the last several years…read more Finally, I caved and admitted it - I needed help. Brooke, Kim and the NEAT Chicago team helped me during a recent move to organize my "big problem areas" (my words, not theirs) - kitchen, bathroom and entry closet. My previous space *looked* organized, but was really very haphazardly stored - suffice to say, like items were often not with like items, and it resulted in a lot of duplication and chaos. I also was coming off of several years of heavy business travel - resulting in a disaster of a toiletry situation. Tiny. Bottles and Samples. Errrrywhere. Kim and her team spent one blissful Friday basically fixing my life: they arrived in the morning, spent some time talking through my needs/wants/life/perceived problem areas, and then they got to work and I went off to handle bridesmaids duties for a friend's wedding. Eight hours later, I came home from the rehearsal dinner to a choir of imaginary angels singing the moment I opened my front door... Everything had a logical and easily accessible home! I could find things again! They removed some duplicates at my request and donated them, which was a helpful time-saver for me, and left some other duplicates (mainly travel toiletries) in a great new system so I can see, access and use the products I have - and never get into the chaos of my previous situation ever again. If you are even remotely considering hiring them (which I'd imagine you are, since you're here and reading this), do it now. It's absolutely worth the investment, and I'm already brainstorming what other areas of my life they could improve - I'll 100% be using them again.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kathryn's work was beyond what I could have imagined. She first…read moreorganized our dining room, which also functions as an art room, game/toy storage, and homework area. With a little bit of direction, she created workable systems that my family and I could use to return the space to zero after craft projects, imaginative play marathons, study sessions, and meals. She has a practical focus on function both for spaces and items - how do you use this? where do you like to do this? - and can envision the way things will fit together and how you will use them. I kept saying, "I never would have thought of that!" when she showed me how she had organized/stored something in a new-to-me way that just made sense. She has now come back twice and organized a hall closet (that houses medicine, linens, cleaning supplies, and travel items), our pantry closet, and almost all of our kitchen cabinets. The spaces in my home that Kathryn has organized are now the most functional, and my most favorite to use. Instead of feeling stressed trying to put away dishes in crowded cabinets, or spending time hunting around for what I need to bake or pack lunches, everything is right at my fingertips, clearly labeled so I can easily reset. Additionally, Kathryn is just a lovely person to have in your home. She's empathetic, kind, and brings warmth to her work. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will not regret hiring Kathryn.

I had a 3-hour session with Sarah. My condo was being renovated at the time, so I had furniture…read moreeverywhere and people clanging and hammering upstairs. Sarah was great! 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.

She made suggestions that were functional and look stylish, as well as helped us declutter. The second appointment was virtual (my preference) due to COVID cases in our area. She was very effective at helping us square away our nursery and baby supply storage in general around our house. The nursery turned out Pinterest perfect and the storage was strategic to make caring for a newborn as convenient as possible! Holly was incredibly helpful, and professional, listened to our specific needs and came to both appointments well-prepared with custom solutions for our unique home and circumstances.

We gave her a throw blanket as a starting off point for our bedroom, and she picked a few paint and carpet options that were perfect and that, most importantly, we never would have chosen without her help. She also helped coordinate new paint and towels and a more modern look for our master bath. You just don't know what you don't know in interior decorating. We were not interested in creating the thousand row spreadsheet and Houzz accounts for this project so felt we got a great return for Katie's reasonable fee. We had never used an interior designer before, but will definitely call Katie for future improvements.
