Organizing by Renee really came through for me and my family at a very difficult time. We were at the end of a months-long process of emptying a large house and preparing it for sale. In the final two days before our deadline, and with only a couple days notice, Renee and Breanda carefully packed our most precious belongings; arranged for the safe transport of furniture, china, artwork, and other items we wanted to save; and ensured that the house was emptied of all items in an organized and incredibly calm fashion.
We met our deadline and everything was done in a way that reduced my stress and honored our family. They provided invaluable guidance as we went through the final steps of the process, and were incredibly kind and compassionate. I don’t know how I would have done this without them. I thank them both for everything they did.

It is my pleasure to recommend Renee Barricklow for all your unpacking and organizing needs.
I work for a third-party company that assists movers with 300+ specialty services. We have had the privilege of witnessing her exceptional contributions to the company’s successes, through their quality and dedicated expertise. Whether the requests we send her way are urgent or non-urgent, she can accommodate our customers’ expectations with diligence.
Renee offers a high level of customer service professionalism when it comes to communication and service. Both her written and verbal skills are unmatched and appreciated across departments and customer relations.
With all unique requests she is willing to go above and beyond to ensure the work can be completed in a timely manner and with flexibility on a case-to-case basis. Renee is our primary point of contact for all related services in the Great Lakes region for over 3 years.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Organizing by Renee, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to delivering top-notch service.
I moved into a new to me home recently. I am older and have physical limitations and can no longer stand or bend for very long. I was feeling very overwhelmed, and I knew I was going to have to have someone help me unpack. I decided to Google organization services, and was fortunate enough to find Renee’s website. I looked at reviews and decided that I would give her a call.
From the first contact, she was friendly, sympathetic and easy to talk to. I sent her pics of my spaces and she gave a quote. I hired them and Brenda, Melina, Kelly, were my team of organizers. They came, they saw, they conquered! Noah was a handyman who came and worked hard putting together shelves, putting up a shower curtain rod, hanging pictures, etc. Every single person was friendly, kind, and non-judgemental. They unpacked boxes I hadn’t touched in three and a half years, and helped me sort and allowed me to choose which items to get rid of. They encouraged me, were fun to be around, and I couldn’t be happier.
They took the time to understand my needs, provided creative and effective solutions, and executed everything flawlessly. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of their work. The entire process was seamless, and they went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.
They even suggested items I could purchase, which I did. They assembled the items, and then organized my things into them. They made suggestions and offered advice and solutions which makes my home flow so much better!
If you’re looking for a reliable and highly skilled organization company, look no further than Renee and her team. Their outstanding service and professionalism set them apart, and I will definitely be using them again in the future!
Thank you for making everything so easy and stress-free!
Thanks again for everything!

Organizing by Renee was a life saver… my home was chaotic and a stressful place because of a recent divorce, my husband still having things in the house, the death of my father & my son wanting to switch bedrooms. my anxiety and worry about how my house looked actually paralyzed me & kept me from helping myself. my first contact with Renee by phone made me feel like she understood where I was and where I wanted to go. She made me feel like I deserve to live in a peaceful and relaxing home. scheduling time was quick & simple. when Renee & her team arrived the first day… she assured me that there was no judgement of what she was walking into. each step forward would be at my pace to make me feel comfortable. she had my kitchen cabinets emptied in a couple of hours and she sat with me on the floor to go through each item & decide what to keep and what to donate. Renee immediately became a friend & I felt understood and cared for. I also wanted a room painted and a closet remodel. She had contacts for all my needs. The contractor went with me to the big box store and helped me pick out what would work best for my needs. This was a very positive experience. The painters were very neat and professional. I am so pleased with all the renovations! Renee & her team continually asked questions to ensure that all my needs and wants were being met. After 2 1/2 days, my home feels soooo good. It looks amazing & my feelings of anxiety and panic are gone. Renee also had a resource to do some internet research for me to replace furniture & other items I wanted to bring into my home. I would recommend Organizing by Renee to anyone that feels like they need a little or a lot of help making their house feel like a home they can relax in, enjoy having friends over & overall just being able to breathe and love their home again.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Renee and Brenda did in my home. I was overwhelmed to the point of having physical panic attacks, and my ADHD made it feel impossible to even start tackling the mess. But the moment they arrived, I felt an immediate sense of calm and understanding.
Renee and Brenda worked with such kindness and professionalism. They didn’t just clean and organize—they transformed my space and my mental state. It feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My home is no longer a source of stress and panic but a place of peace.
Thanks to their hard work, my anxiety has subsided, and I feel capable of maintaining this new environment. They truly changed my life, and I can’t recommend Organizing by Renee enough. If you’re struggling, do yourself a favor and reach out to them. You won’t regret it!

Meeting Renee the first time in person was a relief.   We talked on the phone to set things up, but her and her crew coming to my house for the first time was amazing, and a little overwhelming.
My son and I had just moved “back in” to our home after 5 months of being in hotel, and everything we owned was stacked in boxes in my living room.  Needless to say it was way too much for a single mom in kidney failure to even attempt to tackle.   Not to mention adult ADHD, and my son has ADHD as well.   The chaos made my head spin.
Renee and her “A team” as I love to call them, came in ready to work and make our lives livable again.  It was a large task of divide and conquer, unpacking and moving boxes and placing furniture back where it once was.
The job exceeded my expectations and so did the way Renee and her team treated myself and my family.   There was so much patience, and absolutely no judgement on the condition that the house was in.  That made me feel a lot more relaxed and consumable from the beginning.  They left me in control of the project, but still worked with me.
Organizing by Renee has helped our home on multiple occasions in the past year as we put everything back together and definitely purged a lot of belongings I didn’t even realize I was unintentionally holding onto.   For the first time in 7 years I’m easily able to park in my garage, my closest and dressers have been sorted and organized.  I feel like everything, or almost everything in my house has a home.   It wouldn’t be that way without Organizing by Renee.   She goes above to not only physically help get a home in order, but she helps the individual as well.
I’ve recommended her and her team on numerous occasions, and really stress how it’s worth the time and money.

From the moment I first called Organizing by Renee, I knew I was in good hands. I was living in what I call my “depression house”—a space overwhelmed by clutter and chaos due to my Depression, ADHD and PTSD. I expected a bit of help, but Renee and her team delivered an extraordinary, transformative experience. Renee’s compassion and non-judgmental approach were evident from our initial phone call. She took the time to understand my unique challenges and worked within my budget to create a plan that maximized their impact. Rather than turning me away due to financial constraints, Renee found a way to offer the help I so desperately needed, by promising to do as much as possible in our truncated time together.
When Renee and Melina arrived, they brought not just their expertise but also a sense of calm and encouragement. I was greeted with big smiles, kind eyes, and massive support and Renee asked me how I was feeling. I so appreciated that check-in. Melina has such a gentle demeanor and she immediately put me at ease. They assessed my home and quickly formulated a strategy to tackle the clutter. Their method, which involved having me actively participate in discarding unnecessary items, was empowering and effective.
Over two days, they helped me reclaim my space. The physical decluttering process mirrored a mental and emotional one, making me feel more at ease and safe in my own home. What sets Organizing by Renee apart is their ongoing support. Even after our initial sessions, Renee continues to check in, providing homework and product recommendations to help me maintain my newly organized home. This follow-through has been invaluable and truly above and beyond any expectations.
Melina’s bi-weekly laundry service has also been a game-changer. Having someone to pick up, wash, fold, and return my laundry has added a layer of convenience and relief to my life that I didn’t realize I was missing.
Renee and her team are nothing short of angels. They turned a daunting, shame-filled process into a manageable and even uplifting experience. We talked about many things during the process, things I don’t typically share with others about my past and my experiences, but Renee gives these life coach, therapist, big sis and new bestie vibes that just made it easy to unburden myself from anxiety and stress. My home feels transformed, and I feel more capable and hopeful. If you’re struggling with a cluttered home and the emotional weight that comes with it, I highly recommend Organizing by Renee. Their compassionate, professional, and comprehensive approach is truly life changing. Thank you, Renee and Melina!
 

I am a single mom of a toddler who works exclusively from home. I struggle with panic disorder and ADHD. I reached out to Renee to help calm some of the chaos that was happening in my house. My initial calls and visit with Renee were comforting, comprehensive, and reassuring. Renee is very empathetic and warm which eased my initial anxiety. I wish more people had the caring heart and soul she has. Renee and her team controlled the chaos and went above and beyond turning my house into a home.
The talent of the team was evident and displayed in a multitude of ways. They made everything fun and minimized any stress I had with their optimism, positive energy and reassurance. Melina and Brenda implemented systems that they said would function best for our lifestyle. Now, a few weeks later, it has been proven that these systems not only work and have been lifesavers when it comes time for a quick pick up. In less than 15 minutes my house can be restored to its organized fashion!
The functionality of my office is now much more effective with less clutter. They made sure that my everyday essentials stay easily accessible to me. One of my favorite items they recommended was a lazy-susan desk organizer that I use very frequently every single day. They took the items I use once in a blue moon, organized them and made sure I’d know where to find them if/when I need them and so they’re not taking up valuable real estate in my workspace. They provided me with a beautiful work from home office that can easily transition to function as an administrative household space. The locking filing cabinet they recommended has given me peace of mind by keeping my legal documents for work, as well as important bank and health documentation, safe and sound. Finally, they recommended a bookshelf that serves two purposes. It provides much needed storage space, and it allows me to display some of my favorite things. I refer to it as my “happy shelves.”
Renee was spot on when she said I needed some personality in my house to make it a home. I loved the creativity I was able to implement by assigning themes that make me feel good in my office and kitchen by hanging wall art and getting a colorful rug. I take so much pride in my Italian kitchen! I have been cooking more (which I thought was a lost cause!) which has made us healthier and happier. My son has been independently playing with his toys now more than ever. This is the best feeling in the world; watching him learn and play using his imagination is magical. I can tell he’s much more confident and decisive in his choices for toys and even deciding which room he wants to play in between his own and the main room! He also has space to ride his little tricycle around with the empty floors. As for me, the little (HUGE) things that I’ve done since the reorganization has been hosting girls’ night for my cousins, reading more, coloring more and inviting another mom and her kids over for a play date because I’m COMFORTABLE having people here. It’s been outstanding.
This was an investment that I made for myself and my son. Giving him a house to grow up in that is organized and clean is worth every penny. Organizing by Renee has set us up for success and our quality of life has improved immensely due to their fabulous work.

After a fire in our home and extensive smoke damage, we called Organizing by Renee. Renee was professional, calm, assured, offered many references for similar situations, and had a large enough trained staff to begin immediately.
Renee and her amazing staff

Unpacked and recycled more than 400 boxes
Made good use of what we had left and recommended high quality and moderately priced replacements for everything we lost from hangers to shelving to furniture
Recommended and engaged excellent local services– handyman, electrician, major appliances, etc.
Took care of donating what was usable but no longer needed to local charities
Provided detailed daily written recaps of what was accomplished
Successfully combined two households and dealt with three of us each paying part of the cost. Imagine that!

Did all this with great care for us – and for each other. I think of them as a ‘ministry
The well-trained staff were professional, competent, hard-working, trauma-ready, incredibly organized– like a precision drill team…we were very well taken care of!
I thought I would have to be there, directing what goes where etc. but no! They were always more than a step ahead of me – and with better ideas. A real eye-opener for someone who thinks highly of herself as a really well-organized person!

My experience with Organizing by Renee was amazing! I am married with 4 beautiful daughters, work full time, and we are never home! From traveling for work, pleasure, and lake house on weekends, I do not have the time to declutter and organize my home!  Even when I have time to spare, who wants to clean!?! Not me!  More importantly, I just don’t know even “how to organize!”  I have never even bought a clear bin before!  In my home my priorities are clean laundry, dishes, and organized piles wherever they maybe!  So, I called for help.  I was referred to Renee by a friend who used her to box up her entire home and set up everything in her new home! She said it was worth every penny! I had Renee start with my pantry for the first project! Boy does it still look amazing even after MONTHS later. Then she came back to do my entire 3 car garage… yes, I can breathe clearly now with those two areas. Next, I had Brenda come and clean out my entire “holiday” closet that also had a ton of memory stuff in it. It looks beautiful; you are actually able to dance in there! We now have a plan to attack the rest of the areas ie. Kitchen drawers/junk drawers! I would recommend Renee and her team to anyone!  I cannot wait to see the results after the next projects are complete!

Life is lighter now! Renee worked with me on organizing the lower level of my home. She was really patient and made things easy. She had great ideas, made thoughtful moves, and came in with everything we needed to get my home to a comfortable and maintainable place. She also had helpful tips for keeping it up. So, even months later, the rooms that she organized look and function much better. Working with Renee has provided a lot of relief for this busy toddler mom!

Renee was a blessing! We were behind on packing for our move. Renee responded promptly to my request for help with packing, and asked all the important questions. I hired her, and oh boy, am I glad I did! Renee is prompt, professional, and very efficient in everything she does. She dove right in! I worked with her, so she taught me some great packing methods. Renee worked about five times faster than I did, because she’s the pro. I was a little nervous about packing our fragile items, so Renee packed them with TLC. We got the job done, with time to spare. What a relief! Renee also gave me valuable information about things to do on moving day. The move went smoothly, thanks in part to Renee. “Organizing By Renee” is the perfect name for her business. Renee is organized, professional, and personable. I will be hiring her again for organizing and decorating in our new home.

Renee helped me get over a huge organizational collapse in my personal space during a stressful period. I am now on track to keep my environment healthy and organized. Renee was nonjudgmental and flexible in meeting my organizational needs. Highly recommend!

The women, Jessica and Kim, that were sent to my home to help me unpack were nothing short of phenomenal! Their ability to assess what needed to be done and to do it all while being kind and respectful spoke to the quality of their work and to the themselves as caring people. They had a plan and executed it together. When they were finished with their 4 hours it was such a relief for myself. If I personally had the means I would have them come back for 4 more hours. Being a senior and on a fixed income it’s a challenge as the minimum hours are 4 and it was a bit more expensive than I’d hoped. After speaking with Renee, the owner, I believe it was the right choice regardless. Thank you again to Jessica and Kim! You’re a wonderful team!!

The workers were great, the finished job is great and my realtor will be very impressed, I know I am. This was a big relief to get it done so fast , so I can move on to other things on my to do list!

Renee did my packing for my move. I can’t begin to say how wonderful things looked after she was done. She is truly a professional in organizing. Plus, Renee is friendly, hardworking, and supplied me with valuable tips! I would highly recommend Renee if you need someone to pack or organize things for you. Thanks, Renee. You sure took a load of work off my plate!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible services provided by Renee and her team, and I must say, they have truly changed the way I approach home organization. From start to finish, my entire experience with them was nothing short of exceptional.
First and foremost, her team is composed of absolute professionals who are passionate about what they do. Their knowledge and expertise in home organization are evident from the moment you work with them. They took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and challenges, ensuring a personalized and tailored approach to organizing my home.
The attention to detail exhibited by Renee is simply remarkable. She assessed each room, considering the available space, my existing furniture, and my specific needs. Her teams ability to optimize storage solutions and create functional and aesthetically pleasing living spaces is truly commendable.
I was impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization process. The team worked tirelessly to declutter and categorize items, finding effective storage solutions to maximize space utilization. They handled my possessions with utmost care, treating my belongings as if they were their own.
One aspect that sets Organizing By Renee apart is their commitment to sustainability. They encouraged recycling, repurposing, and donating items whenever possible, helping me reduce waste and contribute to a greener environment. Their dedication to eco-friendly practices was truly inspiring.
The results of their work exceeded my expectations. I can now easily locate items, and every room has a sense of harmony and balance. The stress and frustration of a cluttered space has vanished, replaced by a renewed sense of calm.
Beyond their remarkable skills, the team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. Their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
I cannot recommend Organizing By Renee highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are unparalleled. If you’re seeking a game-changing home organization experience, look no further than Renee. They have undoubtedly set the standard in this industry.

Hired Renee and her team to do an organize/cleanout job for one of our properties we were getting ready to market. Job was a lot of work and very cluttered and the results were amazing. They quickly knocked it out in 2 days and the property was ready to show. Working with Renee was great. Communication was easy and the home owner had a great experience as well. 5 star experience and will definitely be using her again.

I initially reached out to Renee in November because I was so overwhelmed with my house. I have never been an organized person and my kitchen, living room, garage, and closets were cluttered. I was unhappy, but also overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. Renee and I first messaged a bit and I panicked and didn’t choose to move forward until this past February. I reached out again and finally spoke to Renee on the phone. I was desperate because my boyfriend was moving in and I felt like I had clutter everywhere and I didn’t know where to begin with decluttering and making room for another person.
She was non-judgmental and she listened to me explain to her my situation. I was embarrassed I had let my house get bad, but I felt comfortable discussing the current state of my house and what I wanted done. She had me take pictures and gave me a quote to come by for a day with her associate.
The price was extremely reasonable for two people. Renee and her associate, Jessica, arrived right on time. We went through the house and got to work. I was floored at how much we got done in one day. We started with my front room. We went through the boxes and clutter and the item was either thrown out, placed for donation, or put in the room where it belonged (kitchen, office etc). Then we went to the kitchen and did the same thing including putting away the items we brought in from the first room. So on and so forth.
What I liked was that Renee was not pushy, but helped me evaluate what I needed to keep, such as, whether I really needed 10 wooden spoons in my kitchen. It was extremely helpful – I never felt pressured to get rid of something I wanted to keep. As we went through things, it was clear Renee has an eye for organization. She was able to get a system for my pots and pans which worked for me. She asks questions and pays attention.
After the first day, I felt really good! She gave me some projects to do and kept me accountable. She also did some shopping for organization items for my kitchen and bathroom. She made sure to tailor these to what my needs were and gave me some links and then brought some stuff over for my second session.
I am writing this from a clean, organized house where I can take a sigh of relief. I’m utilizing some of the tips Renee gave me to help keep things in order. Even for someone messy like me, it has been so helpful. I feel accomplished and so grateful I found Renee. She gave me the tools to keep things together and I look forward to her help in organizing future houses! She is worth every penny (and the cost is very reasonable!) If you are considering these services, I say absolutely do it! You will feel so much better and there is a great team in your corner to help you!

We hired Organizing by Renee to help us unpack and organize our new apartment after a move from NYC to Chicago. Renee and Jessica did an outstanding job getting our new home together by unpacking boxes, putting everything away in a usable manner, and then breaking down the boxes for removal. We very much appreciate their diligent and professional work, and would highly recommend Organizing by Renee’s services to anyone seeking this sort of help.

Professional & delivers as promised.
Renee met me to take a complete, look/tour of my home.  Renee listened to my difficulties and my intended goals – short and long term. I needed help not only organizing but also putting all the pieces of furniture and decorating items into place. On the first day she transformed my first level into an entirely presentable inviting and place to entertain. All of that, while beginning the organization of my kitchen cabinets.  I knew I had plenty of room but I could not maximize the space.  Renee, the first day, opened spaces and made sense out of my, just short of, chaos kitchen. Renee can solve the dilemmas you are struggling with quickly while executing your personal ideas and style.

Renee was a fabulous organizer.  She contacted me right away and set up a plan to re-organize several spaces in our home after construction.  Renee worked with the overwhelming situation I found myself in – and was able to move through the chaos with ease.  She worked with my anxiety and came up with a great plan.  Renee even worked with my teenager and helped her design and plan room organization – and the room looks fabulous.  We couldn’t be happier!
 

I was spurred to finally reach out to a professional organizer by panic, really. I was going on vacation and my usual cat sitters were going to be unavailable. The thought of having to hire someone off of Rover or some such app, a stranger, and letting them into my house as the giant mess it was sent me into a bit of a tailspin. I searched for organizers near me and saw one hit that included “ADHD” in their service description – Organizing by Renee – which immediately drew me in, as someone with adult-diagnosed ADHD. I sent off the “request consult” form on Renee’s website and crossed my fingers.
A few days later, I received an enthusiastic text to set up a consultation call. By this point, I had figured out my cat-sitting situation but knew I needed to do this for ME. Renee was so easy to talk to and incredibly nonjudgmental. She made me feel safe asking for help and like I could really tackle this thing that has caused me stress for so long. She even gave me some really great tips on the phone prior to setting up our first dates.
I was super nervous to have Renee over the first time, as I usually don’t let anyone but a select handful of humans who understand that I’m a mess into my home. She was super casual and warm and immediately put me at ease when she showed up, however. We sat down and talked about my goals, habits, and how we were going to tackle the current mess. We took things one step at a time, which kept my anxiety under control and kept me moving forward. I appreciated that Renee took things at my speed, verbally checked in, and made sure I helped make decisions about how to organize things based on what would work for my brain. It felt like I was working alongside a combo friend/therapist. We not only got things done, but we had a good time doing it!
I have never been so happy with how my home looks, and so confident that I can maintain it. I know Renee supports me and is there if I have questions or need further support. I can’t thank Renee enough, or recommend her services more highly to anyone looking for organizational help. I feel like a functional adult for the first time in my life and I am so, so happy.

I was skeptical at first. I’ve tried doing things myself to no avail. I HIGHLY recommend Renee if you need help getting your house together. I have ADHD and have always struggled finding stuff and maintaining any sort of organization I have done before, especially when my medication wears off. Renee is familiar with organizing a space for someone with ADHD in a way to make everything easy to find and making it easy to maintain for someone like me. I am a hoarder of bathroom product. I don’t want to be wasteful, especially if it’s something that is still good or was expensive. Renee was able to help me realize what could be thrown out, what could be donated, and what she could list on a free site for others to get some use out of. This relieved SO MUCH STRESS not having to handle most of that. She bought all the containers for my space which is another stress reliever because I’ve tried doing it myself before and was not able to maintain it. So far I’ve been able to maintain it and not be horrendously embarrassed to have anyone go in my bathroom, let alone look under the sink. I’m too embarrassed to even post a before picture, but let me tell you it hit me when Renee said “No one should live like this,” and she was right. I plan on having her help me with every room in my house and finally get control of something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. If you are open to living a much better decluttered life, contact her ASAP. You can have her when I’m done 🙂 Just kidding I’m sure she has availability for you as well.

Renee came to help me in one of my greatest times of need! I was a struggling single Mom who also suffered from undiagnosed depression and general anxiety disorder at the time. I lacked the drive and the ability to keep up with housework etc while also working full-time and raising a child by myself. We ended up in a total “heading into Hoarders” kind of state with also a very messy home! Renee to the rescue! Renee is excellent at not only helping to calm you and getting you to focus on what needs to be done but also where and how to start all in a very nonjudgmental way! She is awesome at organizing and also decorating and I’m not sure what I would have done without her at that point in my life. Now I don’t live near her and wish I did so I could get an “annual check up” with those things so-to-speak!
Thank you SO much Renee!
W.S.

Absolutely Amazing! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am so happy I decided to have you come organize my basement. I am amazed at how much you were able to accomplish in such a short time. Thank you for this wonderful experience! I was concerned about the cost, but it was worth every penny; some of the best money I’ve ever spent. I feel so much happier and calmer knowing this space is neat, tidy, clean and organized. It’s nice that all my valuable stuff has a space, and I can easily find anything I want. And all the stuff I didn’t need or want is GONE! I’m happy my kids have a nice space now. And I also don’t dread going to the basement to do laundry; since laundry is bad enough on its own. Thank you for working so efficiently, and finishing in less time than budgeted for. Yay, I have my basement back!
Highly recommend, don’t think twice about it, hire Renee!

I’ve tried a number of ways to de-clutter my home and get organized–for years. I was never able to get a good process in place, no system for organization. After spending the day with Renee in my home, it’s forever changed. She helped me put systems in place, with catchy phrases to remember along the way. And, she gave me the confidence and process to continue it after she left. It’s been a great success!
Thanks,
 
Blog Post at The Shady Gal About Renee

Hello,
I decided to hire Renee to organize my house because it was so overwhelming for me. In my initial meeting with her we talked about what I needed and she explained how she works. I was a little nervous about a stranger going through my stuff but Renee was very professional. On the last day I had a garage full of donations and she scheduled the donation pickup. It felt amazing to have all the clutter out of my house. I would definitely recommend Renee to anyone who wants/needs to get their house organized.
Thank you,
Jes

A friend sent me Renee’s post about anxiety over your house feeling in a state of unorganization and it creating anxiety. This was me to a T! A clean, organized house takes so much stress and anxiety away, but I never felt I could get to the WHOLE house. I have three young kids and can only get so much done at a time, and it never felt like enough.
The first day Renee came in, I showed her around and she explained what we would be doing. I was nervous. Once we got started I was amazed at what we got done. It felt so good to have the basement organized and cleaned up. She came for a few days and we worked room by room and I felt very comfortable with her. There was no guilt if it was something I wanted to keep. I was able to purge out clothes and other items in the house that I really did not need.
She helped me get storage solutions and gave me advice on how to keep up with everything. She gave me options for what I thought would work best for me and my kids. It was nice to be able to pick what I thought would be best.
This is hands down one of the best things I have ever done! I feel like this is something I can keep up and not be overwhelmed. She has checked in with me and I have also sent her my accomplishments and been met with positive feedback.
If you are questioning if this is for you, then I say yes! If you are looking to feel like your house has an organizational system that reduces stress and anxiety and also work for your family, talk to Renee.

Hi there!
Here’s my review. “Organization has always been something I wanted in my life but didn’t know where to start. Renee was a huge help! She had fantastic tips and helped me tackle my basement that solely became a storage area for us! I feel so much less stress now that it’s organized and we can let the kids play down there!”
Thanks again!

Renee helped organize and decorate the new home that I moved into a few months ago. My closet was beyond help and she organized from top to bottom and made it look great (and sustainable!) This closet was a total disaster, it’s a classic Chicago closet in that it’s on the smaller side and has weird shelving. Renee made it into something workable and somehow fit my tons of stuff inside. She has a great creative and critical eye. She also helped me let go of things that I no longer need (I’m a bit of a hoarder!) and she helped me move stuff into my storage unit that didn’t need to be in my apartment year-round. She also shopped for things I needed in my home and even put together a shelving unit for my pantry. She organized my entire kitchen in a matter of hours. My place now feels so organized and there is a wonderful flow. I will be using her in the near future for a wide array of home projects.

I hired Renee to help me organize my garage and she was incredibly helpful! As a busy family of 6, our garage had turned into a dumping ground for all sorts of things. We were starting to spill out of it, and there was no way we were getting cars in there. When I contact Renee about it, she took time to walk through our entire home, consult with me about ideas I could use for different rooms, provided tips for getting the kids to help out more, and helped me develop a plan for tackling the garage. I was very overwhelmed by the mere thought of cleaning and organizing the garage, but Renee was patient and reassuring. She recommended items, helped me purchase them, and assured me that she would take charge of returning them if needed (that’s a big deal for me). She laid out the steps I needed to take in order to prep and follow through with the project, and then she spent the day helping me empty the garage entirely, clean and wash it out, reorganize shelving, categorize and store items, and drill in a hanging storage system (another great recommendation from her) for yardwork tools. Throughout the process, Renee was supportive, encouraging, and worked at my level. I have a system in the garage now, and not only is it clean and functional, but it’s staying clean because my kids know where things go. I highly recommend Renee to help declutter and organize your home… thanks to her, we’ll get to put a car or two in the garage this winter!

Renee was great to work with. I appreciated the fact that she was flexible with the days & hours, and stayed late to help me finish on a Friday night. I am a busy mom of 2 girls, 2 dogs, a wife, and I teach middle school. I struggle to keep up with cleaning, organization, laundry and so on. I was starting to feel major anxiety because I had so much “stuff” surrounding me. Our basement was full of bins and random items, the bedrooms were super unorganized, and the kitchen and dining room just had way to much “stuff” taking up space. When Renee came she was very understanding and patient. She didn’t “force” me to throw items away (although I did get rid of a ton of stuff, donated and garbage) She was not judgmental and didn’t make me feel embarrassed for the current state of my unorganized home. She helped me create a “livable home”, which alleviated a ton of my anxiety. I was able to get my kids on board with the system Renee and I came up with so they are able to help keep the house organized as well. I waited way too long to do this. No, it is not cheap, but Renee works so hard, and is well worth the money in the end.
