We charge an hourly rate of $55. We normally work around 4 – 5 hours, so a session is usually $220 – $275 per team member.

An initial consultation in your home is $30.

There are numerous financial benefits to our service:

• Being able to find everything you need in the home, preventing the unnecessary purchase of duplicate items in the future.
• Finding things to sell.
• Paperwork organization very often results in a reduction in bills in the form of no more late fees due to missed payments, recognizing unwanted direct debits to cancel. We can also help you to organize your budget and research better prices for things such as insurance, etc.
• Some of our clients go on to make money renting out spare rooms that they have cleared, generating a monthly income for them.
• We regularly find priceless sentimental items during our decluttering sessions; we have also found large sums of money and even unpaid cheques for our clients to cash!

Decluttering and organising can also bring a much clearer perspective on where money has been wasted. Many of our clients report that their overall spending drops after their decluttering sessions as they have a clearer understanding of what they value and what they really need.

Ultimately, the benefits of being organized, feeling less stressed and being in control of your environment again are priceless. Many of our clients find that having their home more organized means that other aspects of their life are enhanced and they can move forward with their long terms plans once their previously disorganized home is no longer holding them back.

Don’t be embarrassed. We are here to help you, not judge you. The hardest bit will be picking up the phone and making that first step towards a more organized home.

This is a huge fear for many people hiring a professional organizer. Things that are necessary or important to you will be incorporated into the organizing plan, not removed just to provide a better “look.” The goal is to make your life run more smoothly by creating an organizational system that fits around your life, not by making your life adapt to a pre-determined system. Ultimately, it will be you making all the decisions. We will just be there to guide and help.

Home staging or interior design consultation and any hands on styling, shopping or managing tradespeople is priced at $55 an hour.

Our hourly rate for sorting paperwork is $40 an hour.

We are happy to travel up to 20 miles each way from Stamford CT, free of charge. Any trip over 40 miles in total will be charged at $0.55 per mile.

Some people are quite happy to tell friends and family about their decluttering projects, especially afterwards because they feel so uplifted and proud of their home. Others prefer to keep things private. Esther deClutter is a completely private and confidential service. There are no advertising logos on our cars or uniforms and we will never discuss clients with a third party unless agreed. Occasionally, we will ask if we can take before and after photographs but this is entirely your choice.

Following a phone conversation to discuss your needs we will arrange an initial consultation to come to see your home and the space you need to organize. We will discuss an action plan and get started either then or on another day. All decluttering sessions are done together as it is always your decision what to keep and what to let go. If you know you want to get started, an initial consultation is not always necessary and will mean we may be able to start the project sooner.

Decluttering sessions normally take around 4 – 5 hours, as it can be a physically and emotionally difficult task. We advise a minimum of 3 hours. However, there is no set time on how long a particular project will take. It all depends on how much needs to be done and also how quickly you can make a decision. We will keep you focused on the task in hand and help you to prioritize – you won’t be distracted by that box of family photos or old letters! Together, we can make huge progress in a day.
