She helped make sense of where everything should go, which has helped me maintain an organized kitchen since. She had the whole kitchen done in just a few hours! She also organized our entire master bedroom and closet. Both my husband and I felt so at ease after working with Sarah, and it was so worth it to feel settled and organized and not be living in our new house surrounded by boxes. Sarah is smart, helpful, understanding, and efficient with her time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to get organized whether you are just moving or not.

Can't imagine doing business elsewhere. Side note: Appreciate the easy access location and more than ample free parking

When I think of Amy and her team the words that come to mind are creative, compassionate, and…read moreefficient. We hired Amy to assist us in moving my mom to an Apartment from a 4 bedroom house with a basement and attic. My mom had lived in the house for 40 years. We were also living in the house and our things were also in the process of being packed to be moved as well as a move of my mom's things to storage. Added to the complexity was that my mom could not come to the house to decide on what she should dispose of. The Out of the Box team was willing and patient to deal with this situation that was done via phone and pictures with my mom. We also helped with the process which they had no problem with. After my mom's things arrived at her new apartment the Out of the Box team was waiting in the apartment for the movers. My mom and I went out to lunch and when we returned for the "reveal" my mom exclaimed "OMG" when she saw her apartment completely unpacked, items put away, and many pictures hung. Amy even returned a couple of days later to help my mom finish the unpacking process and remove any unwanted items. One thing we liked is that Amy strived to donate items rather than just throw them in the trash.

I was literally "afraid" to even approach the attic and Amy had it organized in 1.5 hours!. She helps in every aspect of cleaning out, downsizing, moving, unpacking, rug cleaning, antique selling, consignment selling.......you ghetto decide what you want and she will either take the project over or work with you to accomplish it to your specifications. She made my move/ downsize Easy, and Manageable. Amy has lots of contacts and is very efficient and fun. She gets right to work nd stays until the job is done. She is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her to others. She would also be ideal if you need to help your parents downsize . She even helped me hang pictures in my new place. She is a real pro , is always ontime, and is very personable. I would not hesitate to hire her to help my elderly parents. She bills every two weeks.

I was unsatisfied because I wasn't tinkering in the garage or enjoying cooking, even after a major home renovation. I was spending all my time managing our stuff instead of the activities the stuff was meant for. I would search the garage and basement for whatever I needed to do a task and run out of time to complete the task. Simple tasks went undone and were stacking up, creating stress and an overall feeling of failure. Packing to go anywhere with the family was a scavenger hunt. We'd end up being late and unprepared to enjoy outings, leading to arguments and a lot of unpleasantness. Erika persuaded me to sort, purge, and store my stuff using her system, which creates an environment that supports functioning like a grown-up. I kept items that fit into my life and got rid of things that didn't with her challenging me to make smart decisions. We moved things to the right room and set up little areas to do tasks. Erika and I made a list of homework and a shopping list. She recommended the best organizing items and furniture to buy when needed, but often used the things I already had. We designed a system of hooks, shelves, and baskets. I hired a handyman to help me build it, and it is awesome. The things I need are easy to locate and use, so packing and unpacking takes less time. Traveling with the family is less stressful. I have repaired my stereo, made new throw pillows, and countless other repairs. I actually have time time to wash and vacuum the cars! The house is generally more clean and tidy. I have had two Covid-safe parties in the garage where I got many compliments on it. Cooking in my well-organized kitchen is a joy-my kids are eating much better. I have a new, spacious home office. If you are having trouble getting your home organized, Erika is very effective at making it happen.

Cori runs her business like a well-oiled machine. I really enjoyed the seamless intake process and upfront pricing. I will say that I was disappointed in what we were able to accomplish in one session. Cori's method obviously works, but I think that we were not on the same page in terms of expectations. I was under the impression that we'd survey my apartment, deconstruct it a bit, and review how I can put it back together in a way that makes sense. Instead, we organized my closet. It was certainly productive- Cori helped me ditch 3 or 4 trash bags full of junk- but ultimately didn't accomplish my goal. I would love to hire Cori to come back for more sessions, but unfortunately it is just not in my budget. If you're looking for some help getting organized and refreshing your place, I would recommend instead watching a few episodes of the new Marie Kondo Netflix show "Tidying Up." I have since gotten a lot done on my own. If you're in too deep and you can afford the services- call Cori... she is kind, professional, nonjudgmental and upbeat.

Feeling the effects of a big move and lengthy renovation project I reached out to Cori to start what seemed like an overwhelming unpacking process. A highly organized person by nature I just couldn't get out of my own way. Cori got that this process was equally spacial as it was emotional. I cannot say enough about Cori and her menu of services. It is well worth the investment to work with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Cori and Ditch The Clutter for your next organization project big or small.

From the initial design process through the final installation, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Norfolk did a great job coordinating everything and keeping the project moving forward on schedule. Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship were outstanding, and they were great at dealing with changes that were needed during the project. Most importantly, the finished kitchen came out beautifully and exceeded our expectations. We are extremely happy with both the quality of the work and the overall experience.

First, our designer lost the design plans and tried to cover it up. This caused us to have to try to re-remember items that we had discussed prior. For example, we asked for no spice rack, then we get a spice rack, so we then had to improvise once the project was underway. Completely incompetant...no apologies, and our designer clearly didn't listen the first time, take notes, and honestly just didn't care at all about us. We should have known then, next time we will just walk away..... Next, our contracter was a complete joke. Never inspected the site for follow up / punch list items. Eletrical and Floor contracters were sub par, we still have a light switch that doesn't work properly. They destroyed our dining room floors relocating our refridgerator, with no full repair, just a touch up that looks like crap. They also damaged our mudroom floor and apparently have no idea how to fix what they broke, so I now have a gap in my floor that has never been addressed. Lastly, they never finished the final revisions to the trim. I told this clown several times what we needed to tidy up on, and several times never receieved follow up. In other cases, he did not properly relay instructrions to the sub contractors, so twice we had cabinet / trim people show up without the necessary materials to tidy up. The cabinent / trim guys were the only bright spot in an otherwise horrible experience. I truly felt bad for Bud and Shawn as their time was wasted by our General Contractor. As it stands now, almost 6 months since we were suppossed to be "complete" and zero follow up. I am embarrased to have people show up with incomplete instructions, and our general contractor has not visited the kitchen to address anyting since NOVEMBER of last year. Do not go with this place, over budget, zero follow up, horrible design team, bad sub contractors. Complete waste of time, and we never got the satisfaction of a final, complete, project....
