5 years later I'm writing a review for California Closets. What you say?? I just never got around…read moreto doing it when our newly built house had the closets installed, perfectly I might add. They look custom because each build is designed for your space only. Yes, you chose the materials, the lighting, the hardware, the style etc. but technically they aren't custom because an expert furniture maker didn't come in an build every piece by hand. To some that is important. To mere mortals not so much given the price for custom made furniture. Enough said. Their design and installation was fantastic and done on time. Subsequent follow up for "fine tuning" was likewise and always with a smile. Today two service staff came over for a quick, easy and minor repair. They came on time and while fixing the original issue looked over the whole install and found one little item we never noticed and repaired it. Additionally we had our entire 3 car garage done as well and that also received the look over. Ken and RalphI believe but I could be wrong --deserve gold stars. You will not be disappointed.

My design consultant Alyssa Flores turned my concepts into a detailed design plan, and she provided lots of good input and suggestions while listening to my needs. The guys that performed the installation today were prompt, friendly, worked quickly, left my garage cleaner than when they arrived, and did a great job overall. I'm very pleased with the results and am confident this solution will meet my needs while also enhancing the look of my garage. Highly recommended.

While her rate is very reasonable, I got way more than I bargained for in terms of having a fun and efficient partner and collaborator in getting my life in order and prepared for a major life change.

From the first minute I saw, and heard, Star - (it was in a TED talk) - it was very clear to me…read morethat she was no ordinary, nor usual, "professional organizer." She stood out, apart from the "crowd," leagues above. And yet, there was a genuineness about her, a sincerity that invited your trust immediately. Then when I actually met her in person, when she came to our home, I felt I had known her most of my life. There was no awkward get-to-know-you phase; rather, she made me feel we had been friends, and good friends, for years, without even trying. There was an unspoken connection and mutual understanding. Of course, these innate qualities lend themselves immensely to her profession. I'm very protective about my clutter, won't let anyone in our apartment to see the mounds of boxes of undealt-with emotions and put-off decisions. But I could let Star in. She just knows how to translate what all that clutter is speaking, what hidden treasures of messages lie beneath the piles, to unleash you from what has silently held you for so many years (decades?), to let you soar, to set you free. There were some items that were in a huge box that I could barely even open when Star wasn't here, but she was able to respectfully deal with each piece of my precious grandmother's treasured Italian laces and embroideries, which if not made by herself, then by her family members. The manner in which Star dealt with each piece, laying it out, folding it, taking photos, sending them to collectors, was the scissors that cut the ties of something I was helpless to let go of myself. I want to be freed from the encumbrances and the entanglements, to no longer be held back and down by all those weights, to see what will finally have a way to be expressed, to flow out of my innermost being. A big thank you to Star, as I know I could never do it without her.

If I weren't a social worker, I'd really enjoy a career as a professional organizer! It truly brings me joy and satisfaction. So meeting Michelle brought a nice bond between us :) I own several properties and operate a very busy and stressful business. As much as I love to clean and organize, I just can't seem to find the time to do it on my own. There just aren't enough hours in the day! Michelle made the process very smooth, efficient, and stress-free. She's never made me feel judged with all the chaos and mess (yes, even rodent droppings!), and she kept our work very professional. Ultimately each job was wrapped up exactly how I envisioned, even exceeded my expectations. I am an advocate for everyone to hire an organizer in their life. I can't emphasize enough how much it makes my mental health so right! Once you do, life can be much more at ease and peaceful.

Missy's help was invaluable, worth every penny in helping us manage one of life's most stressful transitions. She arrived well-organized and ready to work, with packing tape, boxes, and other supplies that would have taken us valuable time to shop for. She was clear and personable in all her communications about how she could help us, her scope, fees and terms, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. She was self-starting, hard-working, and thorough in helping us sort through two lifetime's worth of accumulations of all sorts, helping us make difficult decisions about what to keep and what to let go, and requiring almost no time or direction on our part--she knew from experience and intuition how to plan and prioritize, where her help was most needed, and also knowing what only we could do. She was sensitive, thoughtful and conscientious about identifying items of potential value, and finding respectful new homes for stuff we wanted to give away, and keeping stuff out of the landfill by donating to local community-based non-profit organizations whenever possible. She packed boxes and boxes of items etc. carefully and professionally for shipping across the country, and everything arrived in good shape. Without her help, my brother and I would have each needed to take another week or two off work without pay-she saved us not just hours but days and weeks of time. As we neared the end of our PTO, with still plenty of stuff in the house, Missy said "just be sure to take what you want, and I'll finish the rest and empty the house after you're gone--" and she did it (and even took trash and recycling bins down to the curb and back and sent us donation receipts for tax deductions).
