We hired Tailored Closets to design and install four closets in our small home in Clairemont, and…read morewere glad we did. We also met with two other local/national companies to back up our ultimate decision. One of those was easy to let go of - the person who visited our house had strange personal habits and felt comfortable sitting on our bed and brushing pencil eraser bits onto our pillows. The second one came really close, and it was a hard final decision. They offered a different approach than Tailored and there were strong points to both. In the end, the connection we made with the designer, Nick, and his willingness to dive into the challenge, won us over. With our input, he came up with really great custom concepts including an entryway closet that had a couple elements that they don't typically do. One was an area where mail could drop from the mail slot, and the other was slide out shoe trays. We still look at those and smile. The on-site installers were great. The lead installer Cassidy was our main point of contact and did a great job. We'd done some other renovation prior to the closets, and our expectations for communication were formed by those other contractors. He was respectful throughout the install, patient with our questions, and always let us know what to expect. Personally, I also appreciated the way he worked with the other installers, too. He looked like a good mentor for the others. Kudos to him and the rest of the team, Luis, Kevin and Ismael. I'll be surprised if Luis isn't in a leadership role there soon! The installation was so professionally done, with plumb walls and level shelves, that it revealed how unlevel our flooring is. When that left some gaps, the company recommended a solution to mask that without changing the original design. Cassidy came back out, assisted by Victor, and made those updates in just a few hours. Overall, this was a great experience, and we recommend the company.

Live better with Blissfully Organized!…read more Ingrid and her team are amazing--professional, kind, and respectful of me and my home. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't make progress on my own, but with their help everything changed. We spent a few Saturday mornings together, about five hours each time, and their combined 15 hours of support made a huge difference in just one session. They kept me focused and offered great suggestions and encouragement. Before, our spare bedroom was just a storage room and our garage was unusable. Now relatives can stay in the guest room, we can walk in the garage, and even my kitchen cabinets are organized--I can finally find the cumin and salt! I'll be using Blissfully Organized throughout the year to declutter, sort donations, and keep things from piling up again. Highly recommend!

Charged Nearly $2,000 Over Quote -- Breach of Contract, Legal Action Pending…read more We were quoted $4,459 for our project, which we accepted despite our budget being lower. We even cleared the entire space beforehand to help expedite their process and reduce costs. However, we were shocked to be charged over $6,400--nearly $2,000 more than agreed. We understand it's not always going to 100% reflect the quote, but there was no prior notice or written approval of extra charges. When we questioned the overage, they claimed they gave us "their most generous discount to date," which was misleading and unacceptable. We disputed the charge with American Express, but were told the final bill they gave us after the work counted as "written notice," despite no prior communication about the increase. This is unfair and contradicts their own contract terms. After consulting with an attorney, we were advised the company is in breach of contract. If they do not refund the overage and honor the original quote, we are fully prepared to take legal action. This review is a final effort to resolve the matter before going to court. Future clients, proceed with caution--get everything in writing.

The installation itself was completed on schedule, but I was left to clean everything up afterward. The crew did not clean, and after I pointed out a few issues, they did come back and address them. That said, there were quality concerns, such as using gray nails on a black garage component and not installing an edger. I also added an item that their installer did not complete. When I later requested a quote for two additional closets, I was upfront and transparent that I planned to get three quotes. I was then told I would have to pay $100 for a quote because I had used a competitor for other projects in my home. I found this unreasonable and unprofessional.

It was the perfect help for my needs!

One night, I found myself awake, near panic attack, wanting real change, but not knowing how to clear the clutter or how to organize what I wanted to keep. I simply searched declutter help & thankfully, I found Karen's listing. I messaged her that night & am so happy I did! From our first conversation, Karen has been so supportive, nonjudgmental, professional & caring. We are six sessions in now & with each time we work together, my spaces are becoming exactly what I had in mind. Karen really helps me to look at my items in a different, less emotional way. It's definitely challenging to edit things, I won't say it's been easy, but every time I open a cabinet or my bedroom closet-I find my things in their place & readily available. Getting ready each day isn't stressful, no longer do I have to rifle through my closet to figure out where things are or what to wear! If you're looking for real change in your spaces, I urge you to contact Karen. You won't regret it!! The investment into organizing my home has been worth every penny. An additional bonus, since you work along with Karen, she teaches you exactly how to maintain your spaces!!!! The stress relief has been a tremendous gift. I knew I was overwhelmed, but didn't realize the toll it was taking.

Tiffany from Classy Closets is amazing and a joy to work with. I appreciate her design style, professionalism and attention to detail. We are thrilled with the full build out of 4 closets, a new linen closet and garage set up. Everything works great and looks great! Tiffany truly went the extra mile by personally delivering 6 (heavy) rolling racks for our clothing. Classy Closets also fast tracked our installation so we could finally unpack and begin living box free! Jill

The cabinet came out gorgeous and just what we needed. We were interested in extra storage space along with counter space for a coffee maker and other small counter appliances. The workmanship is really excellent and the cabinet is beautiful. And the price was very reasonable. It really made a big difference to be able to design a piece for our specific storage and space needs. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Jaye. She is very knowledgeable, super helpful, patient, and easy to communicate with. Also the two people that came to assemble the cabinet at our home were very professional and expert at their job.

She also offered to refund part of the organization fee since I decided to only do the kitchen. I really appreciate her willingness to clarify and make things right. Rachel is incredibly kind, friendly, and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to cleaning. She made my home look spotless -- every surface gleamed, everything smelled fresh, and her attention to detail in the main cleaning work was fantastic. It was such a relief walking into such a fresh, tidy space. That being said, there were a few small things that could be improved. For whatever reason, I felt like she was very rushed. The trash was left right outside the apartment without a new bag in the bin, and the dishwasher wasn't started -- small touches I've had with other cleaners in the past that make a nice difference. I had also paid for organization, originally planning to do the guest room and kitchen, but when she arrived I decided to just do the kitchen. The charge stayed the same, which I wish had reflected the smaller scope. Overall, Rachel's cleaning skills are truly excellent, and she's a joy to work with. With a little more consistency on the smaller finishing touches and more clarity in pricing, her service would be perfect. I would still recommend her to anyone looking for a deep, high-quality clean.

I knew I was on a deadline to get to organizing our home before our world turned upside down again with a newborn. Megan was so sweet, professional, and understanding of our needs and concerns and got to work right away with her team. She was not pushy, aggressive, or overly chatty as some others we interviewed were about the service. She patiently described how things worked, asked about how I'd like to approach dealing with the mess, and thoughtfully came up with a plan, a shopping list of materials (like boxes and storage units), and always, ALWAYS stayed lovely and professional. It was such a smooth process, and her team really made it easy for me to either keep, purge, or donate the clutter we had been collecting in our home for years. Every time I walk into one of our organized spaces, it brings so much more peace and joy than the stress from all the mess! We were so grateful for the whole process, and now that Megan has 'reset' part of our home, we we have been able to maintain things, as well as learning new tips/tricks on how to keep things better organized.
