## Frequently asked questions
### How much does professional organizing cost?
Sessions are $85 an hour for a single organizer with a four-hour minimum, and $150 an hour for a two-person team, which is faster and usually the better value on garages and whole-house work. Product is separate and we shop from what you already own first. Estate and downsizing projects are quoted by project after a walk-through, since the timeline depends on the family.

### Do I have to throw things away?
No. You decide what stays, and we will never bag something behind your back. What we do is make the deciding easier: sorting like with like so you can see you own nine spatulas, asking better questions than 'does this spark joy', and setting things aside to revisit if you are not ready. Plenty of clients keep most of what they own and simply need it organized.

### Do you work with me or on your own?
For anything involving decisions about your belongings, we work alongside you, because you are the only person who knows what matters. For the mechanical parts, like installing shelving, measuring for bins, or unpacking a kitchen, we can work independently while you get on with your day. Most projects are a mix, and we agree which is which before we start.

### How long does a project take?
A single closet is usually one four-hour session. A kitchen or pantry runs four to eight hours, and a two-car garage typically takes two sessions with a team. Whole-house projects are scheduled as a series of sessions over several weeks, which also gives you time to live with each space and adjust before we move to the next one.

### What happens to the things I let go?
We sort them into donate, consign, recycle, and dispose, and we load and deliver donations the same day with a receipt for your records. Items with real resale value can go to a local consignment shop, and we will tell you honestly when something is not worth the trip. Documents and anything sensitive go to shredding rather than into a bin.
