Why hire a professional organizer?
Alamo Organizers offers more than a service. We offer a personalized experience because we take time to get to know you and your family, your routines and how you use and function in your space. It is important that we create lighter, functional spaces that work for you and your lifestyle.
What happens during the discovery call and the in-home consultation?
Our complimentary discovery calls are about 10 minutes long. It’s a meet and greet and is a time to get to know your needs on a high level. We’ll give you an overview of our process and answer any questions.
Our complimentary in-home consultations ($100 value) are about 45 minutes long. At this time we walk through your space, discuss your goals, timeline and review any organizing product needs. We’ll then create a personalized plan that fits your goals. Whether you’re looking to declutter, organize, or need help with a move, we ensure a smooth, stress-free process.
Are supplies included in the proposal?
At Alamo Organizers we customize every project to fit your needs. Your organizing proposal will include the scope of work, labor estimate and organizing product recommendations. The organizing products—like bins, labels, or specialty packing materials—are an additional cost and offered for your approval. We do make every effort to repurpose any organizing product that is already available in the home. We’ll discuss options upfront, so there are no surprises…AND shopping for organizing products ($100 value) is included in our all-inclusive service!
Should I purchase organizing products before work begins?
No, use your time where it’s needed most! We assess your space during the in-home consultation, so we can recommend the right solutions. We often find ways to repurpose what you already have. If new materials are needed, we’ll provide recommendations in our proposal—and shop for them too! That’s one less task on your to-do list! Either way, we ensure every item serves a purpose.
How long will it take to organize my space?
Every project is unique! We tailor our approach to your space and needs. A small area like a closet or laundry room can often be completed quickly, while larger or more complex spaces—like kitchens, home offices, or storage areas—may take longer. It’s less about room size and more about the volume of items and the level of organization needed. During your consultation, we’ll give you a realistic estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
What is your hourly rate?
Our base rate is $800 for 10 hours of labor. That’s 2 organizers working a 5 hour shift. If your project requires more or less time, we’ll communicate that during the in-home consultation and also include specifics in the proposal.
What type of clients do you work with?
Our clients are overwhelmed! They lead busy lives and would rather spend their time where it matters most—not sorting closets, editing the garage or unpacking. Many are navigating big life changes like moving or downsizing, getting married or divorcing, welcoming new babies or becoming empty nesters. No matter the circumstance, Alamo Organizers is here to transform your home into a functional, comfortable space you love.
Do I need to be present when you organize?
You don’t need to be present during the organizing process! We understand that your time is valuable. We only require your input when it comes to decisions on what to keep, donate or discard. Our team takes care of the rest, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
This same hands-off approach applies to our moving packages. Whether we’re packing, unpacking, or organizing your new space, you can trust us to handle it all. You can relax while we do the heavy lifting, making the entire process feel effortless.
I am embarrassed by my mess. How do you handle this?
We get it and we truly promise that there’s no need to feel embarrassed! We’re here to help! We approach every project with empathy, respect and without judgment. Our goal is to help you transform your space, no matter its current state and create a home that works for you. We’re here to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
You can call our office anytime, if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. We ask that you reach out 48 hrs prior to your scheduled appointment. If you cancel with less than 48 hr notice, you are subject to losing your project deposit.
What if your services are out of my budget?
No worries! We work with many budgets, so contact us to see what we can do for you! The discovery call and in-home consultation are complimentary.
Also, we have a DIY package available for $175 if you need guidance and are willing to do the work yourself.
