Michelle Mattos of Everything Has Its Place came recommended by our realtor. Michelle agreed to meet with us, and she showed up 1 out of 3 times she suggested to meet. 1st meeting: no show, no phone call 2nd meeting: no show, no phone call 3rd meeting: showed and promised to email us her proposal with estimate and timeline of schedules that evening. Well, proposal never came through. We are in a crunch to complete de-cluttering & be open-house ready by 1/1/2023; in 7 days, to list our property for sale. Michelle never came through, or never heard from since the 3rd meeting. Extremely unprofessional and highly do NOT recommend. read more

I needed someone to pack our home in Huntington Beach - and we wanted it done correctly. We were concerned about letting the moving company do the packing, and we just did not have the time and energy to do it ourselves this time. Michelle with "Everything Has its Place" responded quickly and arranged an appointment to come to the house and provide an estimate for the work needed. She quickly emailed the estimate, and we started a day later. This was a 2 day job, and Michelle and her helper did not stop. I was amazed at the quality of the packing to protect valuable items, and how much went into the job. Watching them work, and the boxes piling up, I am relieved i did not try to do this myself. what took them 2 days would have taken me two weeks - and it wouldn't have been the quality of Everything Has Its Place. I look at it that I did not pay Michelle for her time. I paid Michelle for MY time - which would have been so much longer. They have the experience, talent, energy, the boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and right tools for the job. Thank you to Michelle and her team for such a great job. I am looking forward to referring Everything Has Its Place to family and friends. read more

This lady stole all the furnitures from me that she said she was gonna sell them for me three years ago, at some point, she told me she sold some of them and was gonna mail me the check, and she never mailed the check after we exchanging texts for couple months, she gave me so many bullshit reasons back then, now she just doesn't respond us at all, she is a fraud. And if she doesn't give back my furnitures or money. I gonna file a police report. read more

We were in dire need to get organized after having our first child. Our garage was in complete disarray, with a variety of baby equipment mixed with bikes, bags, clothes, and garage stuff. We didn't have the time to do it ourselves, and we were constantly stressed whenever we drove into our garage. Then we found Michelle and her team. Michelle came over and looked not only at our garage, but other aspects of our house for storage strategies. She has the experience and knowledge to come up with a comprehensive plan within our budget. End result was a complete transformation of our garage, utilizing new overhead storing, along with existing fixtures. Other areas of our house (2 closets) were also reorganized. An unexpected service: Michelle will put things on Craigslist for you to help you clean out, and arrange for buyers. Quite nice! Only room for improvement would suggest her quotes to use Excel , instead of handwritten which were hard to decipher. Also make sure to communicate your needs for where things will end up so everybody is happy. In the end, Michelle is a dynamo that works very quickly and can make immediate improvements. She has the know how and connections to get the job done. We would absolutely use this service again. read more

We would highly recommend EHIP's services. Shell is professional, prompt, and efficient. Her and her team helped me organize my entire townhome over the course of a few sessions and my husband and I were very impressed. She really helped us maximize the space that we had with a new baby and a pet added to the mix. She was very affordable and had incredible attention to detail. We loved her so much that when it came time to move into a house she handled all that as well. Don't waste your time with overpriced organizers who don't even come close to performing as well as she does. Shell really is the best of the best, we can't thank her enough!! Thank you so much Shell, you're outstanding read more

Shell is a miracle worker! She managed to organize our entire house, laboring hours with such a positive and uplifting attitude. She truly believes in what she does and is so good at it! She turned our garage into a functional and organized space, made our closets look like a boutique, sorted out our dump of a laundry room and put everything in its rightful place. I can't recommend her and Tiffany enough. They are so patient and hardworking and did everything I asked. True professionals! read more

Shell is a LIFESAVER!! One of my resolutions is to reduce clutter and get organized. Shell came to the rescue to help me organize my life, starting with my garage. Our garage was an embarrassment, I dread opening it in case people look in. Shell and her assistant took on this project with a smile. First they took out everything from the cabinets and sorted out things according to category. They set aside items that could be trash or discards for me to review. She recommended some different size plastic bins that would fit inside the cabinets. Finally, they used the bins to organize the items and rearranged them back according to category. Finally, I don't have to spend hours looking for an item. I know exactly where to find what I'm looking for. Our garage looks much neater and I don't freak out every time it's opened. They also helped us organize a messy closet and created a storage area for our merchandise. She even made a great suggestion to reconfigure my home office to make it more efficient. Thank you Shell and team for helping me reclaim my house and my life! read more

Everything has its place did an incredible job organizing my home office ...and I have ADD so it's a wonder they didn't want to wring my neck .. Shell and her staff are amazing !! I would hire them for again for any organizing endeavors.. read more

Shell did a great job redoing our garage ...I wasn't feeling it at first the money it was going to cost I thought how can she organize our stuff ? But she was worth every $$...hardest working women I've met... and it was the hottest 2 days of summer too..Thank You Shell Mary Darlene and George read more

Working with Shell was a dream! Not only is she extremely and professional and gets the job done, but she's also a great person to hang out with in what could be an awfully boring activity. My husband even walked into the room this morning saying, "Wow, I feel like our whole life is organized now. Everything is where it should be. This is amazing!" Shell- Thank you for using your expertise in helping us effectively use our home to the best of its ability. We are so grateful for you taking the time in helping us achieve our goals!! You will not be disappointed if you hire Shell... trust me! Reasonably priced and such a hard worker. We will be using her again if we are in need for organizing or decorating! She does it all!! read more

Feeling very misled! She coordinated with my fiancé for us to come by and pick up a dresser. We let her know we were interested so she went ahead and gave us the address for pick up (which was a 25 minute drive for us). When we were 2 minutes away (literally in her neighborhood) she messaged us saying she sold it to someone else. Extremely unprofessional and waste of time. read more

I did get my $50 refund when this owner dropped it off at my house as I requested. She had said she mailed it but I think not. She did ask me to remove the post about my experience as our issue is resolved. The purpose of Yelp is to post your experience with a business good or bad. As she didn't return calls to reschedule or to refund my money until I posted here It will stay. The time line was about 3 weeks until this was resolved. Finally when I heard from her she offered 2 free hours of work. By then I didn't want to work with a person like her. read more

Feeling overwhelmed with our upcoming move, I hired Everything Has Its Place to come and pack us up. Shell and her team got right to work packing and worked all day with hardly a break. And by their attention to detail I know my fragile items will arrive in our new home in one piece. They did a much better job than I could have. I was amazed at how much was accomplished and I highly recommend them! read more

Shell has organized my previous home and then shortly after that we decided to move and she took charge. Thanks to Shell our move went so smoothly! Not only did She organized my entire house, she made some constructional adjustments that made such a difference in our home. I continue to use Shell on a regular basis. She has worked on my garage, decorates my home At Christmas time and it always looks like a winter wonderland when she leaves, she has decorated my home at Halloween and makes it look spooky enough to not scare the kids. Shell is now helping me with the reconstruction of my kitchen and bar. I couldn't do any of this without her. She is extremely professional and on top of that she is so current with her designs which is so helpful for me. I will continue to use her on a regular basis. You will not be disappointed with everything has its place! read more

My experience with this company is not very pleasant. Over the phone they sounded very professional. We scheduled an appointment with them to organize my garage. Later they called me to reschedule it twice!!! This is unprofessional and frustrating!!! If they can't be organized over the phone, how can I trust them to do a job. I do not recommend this company to anyone !!! read more

Update , This is my first review, I don't usually post any reviews but I decided to post this time since it is very important to share with my experience and let others make a right choice . I'm in real estate business and I decided to hire a company to help stage one of my residences for sale . The reservoir was smooth everything sounded great and come to staging day Shel decided to reschedule on me , it was very unprofessional and frustrating since I had to rearrange my schedule for them specifically . I kept it cool and to try giving them second chance . What do you think happened next ? Since we rescheduled for the following day after many apologies at 7 am I trusted them and simply was waiting at the location 10 minutes before 7 am with coffee for them to start everything with good vibe BUT they never showed up . Shel texted me claiming that her transportation matter broken down and she couldn't make it today . This is very unprofessional and unacceptable I was never treated this way in my life . I do not understand why someone advertises their service and never perform it right . read more

I thought Shell was very friendly and professional on the phone. However, she rescheduled our appointments for a consultation twice, and I was not willing to reschedule for a third time. read more

Michelle helped me organize a move from Oc to la. She packed all my boxes organized movers and unpacked my new house in Hollywood. I would absolutely recommend her. read more

I cannot say enough about Shell and her staff!!! So happy I found her here on yelp. She really went above and beyond what I had hoped for in a professional organizer. She does it all! I highly recommend her! We had a huge mess of a garage (can be seen here in her before and after photos), and she completely transformed it into a functional space. She removed EVERYTHING, stained the floor, installed the cabinets, and put everything back in organized and beautiful! So grateful for all the hard work she and her assistants put in to get it where it is now! read more

MY SECRET WEAPON!!!! It really takes a village to run this home of mine and I'm so happy to have found SHEL!!! She has freed up my life !!!! She is an Organizational Goddess !!!! read more

Michelle changed our life- seriously. Organization- a major weakness for both my wife and me. Our room had piles of clothes - now - everything has a place - my life is so much better. She does more than organize. Room reveals are great. Decorates. Handyman. Consignment. Find you a cleaning person. The woman and her team handle it all. Pricing is very reasonable and straight forward. She's a delight to work with. Not perfect - not sure anyone is - but pretty damn close. A delight and my highest recommendation. read more

Shell pretty much helped to reorganize my whole home and garage. I was very overwhelmed with just having a baby and my fiance moving his things in. Shell took the lead, provided specific examples of what could be done in each room to help declutter and make more space. She came to my house several times, worked tirelessly with her helpers to get everything done and she even helped move stuff around for my dog! Great energy and overall a job well done. Would def use in future when we buy a bigger house. read more

Everything Has Its place has helped our household tremendously! First I hired Shell to organize my kitchen and pantry. She was quick to respond, came for a consultation and went straight to work. She works quick and efficiently, and offered tons of useful tips to get us organized. Very experienced and professional, can install shelves better than my husband (hope he doesn't read this!). We have been very happy with her work and will be continuing her with her services to organize the rest of our house and maintenance. read more

Shell was amazing. She took our things and made our house amazing.We had our floors redone due to rain and they put everything back and was such a big help. The house looks like a model home using all of our things. We would still be living in a mess if it wasn't for her and she had great ideas. She also helped us move our things back from the desert. She'll is the best I would highly recommend her read more

Shell was amazing. My parents moved to a new house a few months ago. Shell and her team did an awesome job organizing everything. She pretty much organized ever inch of their house. You can tell she knows what she's doing and loves what she's doing. It was an amazing transformation. Thank you Shell for helping my parents out!!! read more

Shell and her team are extremely friendly and really quick. She cleans as she goes and has great ideas. I have used her before and have just hired her and her team again. read more

I feel like manifested a desire to the universe and somehow Shel had a service that just blew my expectations away! I still can't believe what Shel and her team accomplished was real! I have 3 little kids and am pregnant with twins. We were facing a move and I was physically unable to help at all. In comes Shel. First, she spent 3 days decluttering my home. Then came back a few weeks later, packed my entire home up, arranged movers and unpacked all our belongings into our new home. I'm not exaggerating - our entire new kitchen was up and running on DAY 1 of our move. We comfortably slept in our new home on DAY 1! And over the course of the first week, everything was unpacked, organized and looked beautiful. Shel is amazing and even hanged all my art and photographs. When people came to visit our new home, they kept asking, "Wait, how long have you lived here??!!" Given that we wanted the transition to be comfortable for our kids, I can't think of a better way - all their clothes, toys and stuff that made them feel comfortable were available almost immediately. This service proved priceless for our family. My husband and I have the peace of mind to find everything easily and our home was comfortable and inviting immediately. I highly recommend Shel and her team. They have 100% follow through and delivered more than I ever imagined possible. I write this with the deepest gratitude! read more

Shell just started a couple of months ago cleaning our house twice a month and it has been fantastic! I knew from the moment I met her it was a match! She is incredibly thorough and is always flexible with anything else I might have her do around the house. I would absolutely recommend her! Not only is she a great worker but a wonderful person. read more

Shell & her staff came in and facilitated a really involved move with a great deal of junk we needed to purge but couldn't quite accomplish alone. Really top notch assistance. They anticipate and manage the small details that add up. Would definitely use again in a heartbeat. read more

Ditched my chores for the day, left her alone for a bit in my home while I went to a Birthday party and came home to a new kitchen. She changed how I look at my kitchen....I can't wait to return home each day to visit with my kitchen and play! I feel like I could host a TV cooking show! Looking forward to eventually tackling the rest of my house. Truly, Everything Has Its Place....THANK YOU SHELL!!! read more

Trustworthy, kind, and passionate about her work. I'm happy to have contacted her first and felt a huge weight off my shoulders once my master bedroom was organized. I had just moved into a place with a much smaller closet and had no idea what to do with it. She's managed to utilize every drawer and open space in ways that just make sense and looks clean and presentable at the same time. Eventually my living room was filled with empty boxes which she managed to finish going through in a timely manner. I felt she also went above and beyond purchasing and installing the perfect drawers to fit underneath the sinks. Thank you so much, Michelle! read more

Feeling overwhelmed moving into a new place and having to unpack on my own for my children and I , I'm so glad I had Shell to help me unpack and organize my house. She also did an amazing job decorating. She made it so easy for me. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Shell!! read more

I have worked with Shell for the last four months. I cannot say enough of what a good experience it has been. She is helpful, resourceful and much more. read more

Shell was AWESOME!!!!!! She ahd her team were true angels. We needed to purge a 5 bedroom house in a week to downsize to a 2 bedroom apartment. Needless to say going thru 17 years of "stuff" was overwhelming until Shell showed up. We did it and she packed us and moved us while we were on vacation. Magic! She even unpacked and organized our new space to fit our new lifestyle beautifully. I recommend her hands down to anyone needing help with any of her services. :) read more

Ever feel like things just have a way of piling up, and you just can't stand it any longer? In between moving into a new house, having our first baby, and celebrating holiday after holiday...I was sick and tired of this build up of a mess staring at me every single day because I was too busy taking care of everything else on a day to day basis. I think it was a control issue for me to finally let go and get HELP. And boy did I need it! Shell was great and professional answering me back in a timely fashion. We quickly made a consultation appointment to go over all the things I needed done. She started with what needed immediate precendence which was at the time putting up Christmas decorations. My fear was paying someone hourly and them taking their pretty little time. Not in this case! I was amazed how fast Shell and her staff got it done and on to the next task at hand. The BIG one was my arts and crafts room. Things were everywhere...I didn't know where to begin. Shell reassured me and encouraged me not to worry. She told me she'd call when they were done. Sure enough...VOILA like magic, things were labelled and organized. I just felt a ton of bricks have been lifted off my shoulders. My OCD husband even complimented on a job well done these two ladies have done. And to this day...my arts and craft room remains organized! YAY! That is something to be excited about! So...if you ever need someone to put ORDER back into your life, someone that you can TRUST, and someone that WON'T rip you off...EHIP is who you need to call. It is TOTALLY worth it!!! read more

Shel is the owner of this business and she's great! She not only organizes but she cleans as well. I have a small house but it gets its share of dirt and cat hair thought the week. Shel comes weekly to keep my house looking spic and span AND she is happy to accommodate and clean my special requests. She is punctual and trustworthy. I would recommend Shel to anyone! I'm happy to have found her. read more

I have been working with Amy for the past few months, and I can't tell you the significant differance she has made in our home and life. She is amazing in every aspect! I'm very happy with the company service, ethics, and results!! There's so many things and projects they can help with. I plan on keeping them for as long as they will make the drive to my home :) read more

Seriously a dream come true! We were expecting our second child and the nesting was full blown. I needed help purging and making room for our new babe, as she had to share space with my husband's office. Shell and her team completely transformed our garage and ended a 5 year battle between my husbands messy office and I. We couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you!!!!! read more

Shell from EHIP (Everything has it's place) was an absolute lifesaver!!! I was moving after 12 years and downsizing from a house to an apartment and move included a stop to storage unit. I found Shell 2 days before I was scheduled to move, my only regret is I didn't find her sooner!!! Her services would have handled my move entirely from selecting the best moving company and all coordination and taken so much of the stress and logistics off me! In the end she corrected many problems the movers I had already selected ended up having. They did not pack truck correctly and were saying I needed to do 2 trips. Shell stopped the clock on their dime for them to correct their inefficiencies. She was firm and professional with them and they knew not to even attempt to pull one over on her or me and learned quickly to do what needed to be done! This is her business and she takes very good care of her client's interests. She was worth every penny in gold! I also used her packing services one day prior. Again my only regret is I didn't find her and these services she provided sooner!!! I thought I had this move on my own, and it was borderline disaster... Next move is with EHIP all the way!!! read more

It is so nice to come home to a clean and tidy apartment, and we know we can rely on Shell to deliver just that, every time! She always does a fantastic, thorough job and has been very accommodating of our schedules. We are so glad we found her and absolutely recommend Everything Has Its Place to anyone who wants a cleaner, more organized home. read more
