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.

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 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.

Four Years Later…read more.. The Chicago Organizer is still great at helping me get all of my stuff organized and manageable! 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!

Which is why I am here: to yell my praises from digital mountain tops! I was (very generously) gifted an early Christmas present from my mom of a full day/organizing session with M2O... AND IT WAS THE BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED! It is truly the gift that keeps on giving. **Hint hint, people- Christmas is less than 3 weeks away, if you are struggling for ideas. ;-) Schae and Britney were spectacular! They rolled into my place like two boss ladies ready to get down to business (but not in a scary way lol)! They put on a fun playlist and took charge, which is what I like and needed. They let me help (obviously not required, but desired on my part to learn) and taught me helpful tips and tricks along the way to maintain the organization. Best of all, they knew how to prioritize my projects in the order that made most sense, and maximized efficiency and my time with them. Not a minute wasted and no stone (aka leftover crap I didn't need anymore) left unturned! AND, like, how helpful and convenient it is that they haul away as many donations for you as they can when they leave?! At the end of the day (literally), I had the best nights sleep that I'd had in years, knowing that there was (finally!) a place for everything and everything in its place. Not only did M2O grant me peace of mind, they motivated me to keep going and see what I can accomplish on my own with what I learned from them. And the productivity levels on all the DIY projects I've set aside over the years are through the roof! My home is, now, finally the way I want and need it to be- it is first and foremost, my sanctuary. Thanks to M2O! But don't worry, I would never claim to be a 'Master Organizer' like them though- there are still some projects that seem just too overwhelming to undertake myself...like where do I even start?! SO, I've already booked my next session with them. Can't wait for Round 2!

Our kitchen and bathrooms were touched by angels…read more We just moved into our new condo and let's just say we had more than we thought the space could handle. There was no way we could have unpacked and organized our kitchen and bathrooms over the next few weeks, which is what their team excelled to do in less than a day. Mackenzie was very responsive starting from original quote to appointment day. Because of this they came fully prepared and we feel every minute they used here was optimized to the fullest. It's our first time using this kind of service and Mackenzie, Chloe, Brittany, Mary and Melanie have officially spoiled us for all moves to come. Our home brings us so much joy now.

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.

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!

Having an interchangeable system really is nice and the ability to return or purchase more parts as needed. We only shop for Elfa during the yearly discount sale around winter time :-). Otherwise the pricing is definitely high for low cost IKEA type items. Staff is always friendly and helpful to custom design and point out options that we might not have thought of. Also purchased stand alone Elfa items and used the Bilt app to put them together. Very nice to zoom in and better understand how to put things together.

They were a discontinued item at the time I ordered them, so I wasn't even sure I could get them. I called the store and spoke to Holly who was super kind and helpful.

With the sku # Holly gave me I was able to place an order. It is a little thing, but made me so happy to know I could get what I needed to help with my craft room organization. A+++ service!

This is a review of Ian exceptionally unprofessional experience with a recent California Closets…read moreinstallation. I used the Chicago office. The project involved a small closet installation in a one-bedroom apartment, scheduled for two days. On the first day, the installer removed the existing floor-to-ceiling shelving and hanging units and transported all materials out of the apartment in a single elevator trip. My apartment was in complete disarray. After he left the apartment and without informing me, he incorrectly informed the home office that moving the new materials into the apartment would not be feasible using that same elevator that he used to bring the materials out of mu apartment. Based on this misinformation, I received an email the following morning at 6:43 a.m., the scheduled second day of installation, telling me that any further work would be postponed by six-days, including over a weekend. Despite all efforts to correct the misunderstanding, the project was halted. Throughout this issue, my sales person demonstrated no accountability. Instead, she blamed installation team members, was argumentative, and addressed me in a rude and condescending manner, including sending emails partly in all caps. This place is not worth the money or the dismissive and arrogant attitude. I would recommend any of the many other closet installation services in Chicago or the suburbs.

!!!PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!!…read more Spent $7,500 on a "custom" built-in bookshelf and desk from California Closets. A major structural piece fell off on its own during normal use. No one touched it. No misuse. This wasn't cosmetic--it was heavy, installed at body height, and could have seriously injured or killed someone. I'm still shaken thinking about what would've happened if my kids were in the room. For this price point, basic safety and quality should be non-negotiable. Right now, I have zero confidence in their engineering or installation. **EDIT: uploaded are additional photos showing how poorly put together this was, as you can see the nails used to attach this piece are partially nonexistent and barely penetrated the wood. I worry about the integrity of the remaining structure. **
