I found her to be completely trustworthy--so much so that I felt completely confident leaving her in my home to continue organizing as I ran necessary errands. She will sort your things for you, or work alongside you--whatever you prefer. She and her team helped us go through our entire house and garage, including a huge attic space--cabinet by cabinet, drawer by drawer, closet by closet. We were completely overrun with stuff and couldn't have done it without her. I used to feel stressed and overwhelmed every time I walked into our house and looked around at all the clutter. I couldn't even think of where to start. It's not an exaggeration to say that the results of working with Sheri have been life-changing for us. I feel so much better and more comfortable in our home. It's a huge relief. Our experience with Sheri was so satisfying that we plan to hire her to move everything out and then back into our four bedrooms when we have new carpet installed. It's such a relief to know that we have someone professional and reliable to handle that for us.
