Order is Key

Creating the Space You Need

Organizing is a process—one that moves you from blockage to freedom. It requires accountability, responsibility and the willingness to change. Reevaluating the items you have ensures you keep only the things you truly need and want. I work efficiently and expediently to empower you in reaching your organizing goals as well as with a sense of humor to make the experience enjoyable.

Our Services

Home & Office Organizing

Our homes are often busy places with kids, pets and adults using the same areas for multiple purposes and as a result, items often pile up at the front door/entry, on kitchen counters, dining room tables and desks, and in corners of rooms and on stairways. By eliminating the unnecessary, establishing new homes for each item and developing new habits and behaviors, clutter disappears.

Home offices require efficient use of space as well as effective paper/mail management systems so important documents, mail and correspondence are stored for easy retrieval and usage. I help set up easy to use filing systems for organized papers you need and use.

Packing/Unpacking Help

Moving is one of life’s most stressful events, from managing the packing process to ensuring everything makes it to its new home in one piece. One of the most commonly overlooked components is sorting out what’s not needed so you take only what you want. I help you cull out things you don’t need and move only the essentials.

Unpacking has it’s own stress of getting everything out of boxes and into a designated space AND in an organized way. I specialize in getting your new home organized from the beginning so you can begin using various rooms right away.

Space Planning Specialist

Using our spaces effectively whether its a utility drawer, a closet or an entire room requires a keen eye and knowledge of the right tools and infrastructure to ensure that area work to its utmost. I help you maximize key areas to increase functionality, storage and aesthetics.

Hauling Services

My goal is to redirect as much material from the landfill as possible by recycling and donating items to facilities and locations that can responsibly reuse or recycle. For a flat rate, depending on how many stops and the amount I remove, I will gladly take away unwanted things to the best possible locations.

-Lakeysha Crawley, Tax Law
As a school teacher for fifteen years, I realized I needed help in reorganizing my classroom and procedures. What worked years ago, clearly was not working now for me. I was bogged down in paperwork, filing, and piles and piles of stuff. Which resulted in wasted time and energy and a drain on my own ‘creative’ energy.

Steve came in and patiently helped me prioritize needed items, eliminate unnecessary things, and set up a filing system that would help me run my classroom more efficiently. It’s been a great beginning for me and I have been able to continue with our system. This makes my life much easier and alleviates the frustration of an out-of-order classroom. The students also benefit with me being in a better mood.

Please call if you would like further information about Steve. It’s been great…and I’m actually enjoying my work more.

-Elaine Womack, San Jose Unified School District
I have known Steve for the past 20 years and I recently had him to my home in Long Beach to help me organize some aspects of my home and living environment.

Because I am a teacher, I deal with lots of paper and it is a continual struggle to keep sorting what I need to keep and purge what I no longer need. Steve jumped right in and shredded boxes of old checks, documents with personal information and recycled old student papers I no longer needed. We cleared out a 2 shelf cupboard that had been holding outdated materials I’ve had for the past 8 years. It felt so freeing to let that go and to have reclaimed space for more important things.

Steve also went through some of my clothes closets and helped me purge clothes I no longer wore and we gave them to the Goodwill for someone else’s use. The remaining clothes were grouped together so I could more readily find what I needed when I need them. That is a huge timesaver.

He then went through my living and dining room areas and took away an assortment of decorative pieces that added more clutter than beauty. I have 2 side by side book shelves with art pieces, candles and shells and he grouped things together, eliminated what wasn’t needed and made things more clearly visible so they related to one another and made sense artistically. I love when I enter my living room and can see my things and have more space as well.

I highly recommend Steve’s skills as an organizer. He will meet your needs with his aesthetic and functional eye and abilities to assess a room’s needs and provide the client exactly what he/she desires.

-Maria Mayoryk, Psychology Professor
Steve has worked for me in a freelance capacity for the past 9 years and over that time I have enjoyed his positive presence he brings to the work place, a great sense of humor and a consistently focused work ethic. He is willing to work for last minute calls, including late night event strikes. He works well with other employees, creating a sense of camaraderie and connection and works hard to complete the projects and tasks in a timely manner, and do what it takes to get the job completed.

He has helped me organize my warehouse space, by offering suggestions and helping with creating systems so the many events we produce can go off more effortlessly. His keen eye for flow has helped me create greater order in the warehouse.

He recently helped me with a large inventory sale and he staged the sale and the items in a very pleasing and enticing manner that helped me sell the majority of my stock. It took a big burden off of me and gave me the time to sell without worrying about that end of the event.

I have been really lucky and thankful to have Steve’s great attitude, work ethic, organizing skills and support these many years. I know he will be a great asset to anyone who hires him for their work or home organizational needs.
