"After a recent move from Raleigh to Durham NC, I found myself overwhelmed with boxes. I had not…read moreonly the boxes I had moved, but my mom recently passed away and I had her things to sort through as well. Being physically disabled and having AD/ HD I knew I could not handle this task on my own. I am chronically disorganized. A suggestion was made that I hire a professional organizer. I had never done this before and having only lived in North Carolina a few months, I was not sure where to begin to look for one. An Internet search brought me to a listing of professional organizers in my area. Next to each business listing was a little about the organizer or company. I was drawn to Order in the House because of the picture of Deb. She looked like a kind and compassionate woman and the summary next to her picture said she worked with people who have AD/ HD. I was originally going to have Deb for just one visit though I knew we could barely make a dent in 4 hours. Deb offered an organizing package of 16 hours and after working for her just a couple hours; I knew I wanted this package. Deb was a pleasure to work with. She had great ideas on how to organize my massive amount of things and with her encouragement, I was able to purge a great deal. Deb had an amazing amount of energy and not only helped me organize during the 16 hours but inspired me to continue working on my own. Expounding on the ideas Deb brought to me, I plan to sort through my clothing and other things I have in excess. In the past, I had difficulty following through when a space was organized, but Deb's systems are easy to follow and maintain. Building on her ideas, I am certain I can maintain what we accomplished and extend it to areas we did not have time to get too. It is comforting to know that should I find myself needing help in the future Deb is only a phone call or email away. I would definitely recommend Deb to anyone with an organization problem She is highly motivated and a pleasant person." - Peg Meerkatz, Durham NC, June 2015

Lindsay and her assistant, Lee, just left with half my kitchen in their cars! I had so much stuff,…read moreI didn't even know what was in my own pantry. What's left is gorgeous. They cheerfully and effectively organized my pantry, underneath my sink, a cabinet and my cooking and eating utensil drawers. Their attention to detail was stunning. Lindsay brought boxes and supplies, and she hand wrote labels that looked like they came from a printer. They put a fresh bag in my trash can, took a load of plastic grocery bags to be recycled and took things to be donated and composted. Lindsay came for a 30-minute consultation about a month ago, so I knew exactly what to expect, and so did she. I took advantage of their four-hour, two-person Groupon. It was worth every penny.
