If you're like me, you have a hard time letting things go. Things that hold sentimental value,…read morethings that hold none of such and yet somehow still haunt you from one painful apartment move to another, things that you thought had been lost, things that you were so sure you'd thrown away maybe three apartments ago, things that you believe you may need one day (like pay stubs from that one temp job and tax return papers from 10 years ago.) It then takes someone who can handle a client with lots of baggage (no puns intended.) Entered Rhea and Richard. My goodness they were absolutely incredible. After they left (with TONS of bags - how did I have that much stuff? I don't know, maybe I don't want to know, but yeah I know exactly why it is so), I stayed in the room for a long time just taking in how much nicer it is after they've done their magic. Some part of me wanted to cry, but I was smiling ear to ear. It helps a lot to know that they do donate a bunch of the stuff, that everything doesn't have to go to a landfill. And they take them away for you! What else could one ask for? Thanks Rhea and Richard!!

After 4 hours of Reah's magic with the assistance of her helper, you will have a beautiful memory reset in your mind, and the best part is, they also recycle many of the items they remove.

I travel a lot and don't have time for a lot of simple things like dry cleaning drop off and food shopping. The first time I hired Lisa, I was planning a party for my parents' anniversary and she and her team were amazing! From finding the venue, to the decor, caterers and invitations, I couldn't have done it without her. The event was amazing and I really wowed everyone! Since then, Lisa has done so many time saving things from me - running the gamut from dry cleaning to picking up groceries. Lisa actually takes time to pick out the freshest produce and meats, and I don't have to run all over town for my specialty items. Next up... she's going to help me organize my family photos. Seriously, this woman is a life saver!

Have you watched Hoarders before? Occasionally there are people who used to be tidy and organized…read moreand then something traumatic happened in their lives and they transformed into hoarders. Well, I had a similar experience to a much, much, much lesser extent. After life punched me in the face, I let go of my hyper-organized, neat self for a few months and just let mess and chaos consume me. When I picked myself up, I looked at my room and just didn't even know where to begin. I realized I had wandered into uncharted territory of mess that I've just never experienced. Enter Pat. She came in and swiftly assessed my situation and got to work right away. When I got sidetracked, she put me back on focus. I thought I would have trouble throwing things out but I actually didn't. I really just needed someone to help me and provide moral support and Pat wonderfully did that. Can I be honest? The best part is that she folded all my clothes! She also helped me rearrange my room in a way that would optimize space efficiency and gave me a few pointers on how to store things. Storage is a challenge in my room. I'm knocking off one star only because I think it's a bit pricey for what I was looking for. If you are someone who is generally organized and just needs a little help, I would recommend scoping out your options for pricing. In the Boston area, it seems like her her hourly rate is standard, but there are some who have lower minimum hourly bases, some who offer discounts, and some who have lower rates all together. Those who have lower rates tend to have less experience and credentials, but I think I would've been okay with that. With that said, if you need help with a large project or is someone who has struggled with organization, I would totally recommend her. She is definitely very pleasant to work with and takes her time in explaining everything and answering all your questions. My positive interactions with her over the phone was what ultimately won me over, even though price wise she was the most expensive on my life.

From the moment I spoke to Pat Bernabei I felt at ease with the enormous tasks at hand. My elderly mother, who was not able to get settled into her new home until her furniture, dishes and clothes arrived, had been anxiously awaiting to start her new life in Massachusetts. Pat immediately had everything under control, including staying on top of the moving company as the truck made its way across the country. We needed to get my mother unpacked as quickly as possible. On move-in day, Pat was our designated point person and organized the unpacking like the pro she clearly is. Miraculously, all was unpacked and put away in a single day! And Pat even cleared away the boxes so there was no clutter in the new apartment. Pat also took the initiative of sending to the moving company a picture of a dresser they had damaged during the move. She is simply on top of it all! For anyone needing to get organized, for anyone needing to help a senior citizen move to another city or state, Pat of Sort it Out is the answer to all your worries. She will get it done and it will be done perfectly.

When we contacted TNTS with our project, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sally, who was extremely kind and polite. She was able to schedule a consultation that day!!!! I was very excited that they had the time to see my property so quickly. Leslie worked with us as the general contractor, and she was so kind and considerate. My wife and I felt so comfortable speaking with her about the project, and she was comfortable as well. It was very easy to tell her what we wanted to do and why we wanted to do it, and she was very receptive and thorough. Once I received the quote, though, my jaw dropped.....The price was considerably less than I had expected!!!! I thought this would have easily been a $10k job, but to do it all for $5800, I thought there was a mistake. And to add even more thrill to the whole scenario, they were able to start work THE WEEK AFTER our estimate was made!!! I have worked with general contractors before and I have never had an experience like this, in a positive way! When the work started, the contractors that were sent to our site worked fast however very professional. They did all the work to code and they cleaned up afterwards. Ron, the carpenter that had worked with us during the replacement of the columns and the stairs, was very friendly and easy to work with. He had even made some suggestions that had saved us some money, which we were able to shift to rebuilding the stairs at the bulkhead (which wasn't part of the contract, but they were happy to do it!). Chuck had been the contractor that installed our ceiling vent, and God bless him! He did a great job, even though the heat had been brutal in the attic initially. The project was divided into 2 days because he didn't have a ladder long enough available at the time to access the vent in the exterior of the house, but they got that turned around very quickly as well. Through the whole project, any concern I had I brought up with Leslie and she was very professional and reactive. This company works to please their customers, and not condescend or cut corners to pad their pockets. Believe it or not, even when it came time to request payments when scheduled, they were extremely kind and respectful. My experience with TNTS had been so positive, and the work had been done so professionally and cost-effectively, that my wife and I decided not to sell the home as intended. Once we found a great contractor, and started to customize the house to our liking, we realized that it's a great place to stay. It's a great feeling to know that we have a contractor on our side to help us with home renovations, because we will be using them again, and again, and again!!! Thank you TNTS!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Top Notch Transitional Services. My parents have been hoarders…read morefor many years and had managed to fill up their entire 2 story house with their collections. At this point, the house was in an unlivable state, with very little area to even walk or sit and the air quality was very bad. When my Father was hospitalized, the situation came to a head because he was not going to be allowed to go back to the messy house. This left us with a situation in which we had to clean out the house, and very quickly. Due to the size and scope of the problem, we knew this was not something we could handle on our own and we were going to need professional help. After exploring many options, we finally settled on Top Notch. They explained a process where they sort and organize all the items while working with the client to make sure they are not overwhelmed by the process. At the beginning, it was very difficult on my Mom, however, they assigned a wonderful project lead, who was not only capable, but also very personable and friendly. Together, she and my Mom were able to develop strategies for cleaning out the house. Brandon, the owner, was always very responsive and he seemed genuinely concerned about doing things the "right way", even it would take his team more time. The whole process took about 3 and a half weeks. Brandon and his team delivered what was promised and the price we paid was the price which was quoted to us at the start. We were amazed at the results. It has truly been a life changing transition for the entire family and we could not have done this without the help of Top Notch.

I indicated I wanted to chat briefly before providing a deposit, and Melissa sent me her number.

We aligned on details and Melissa told me my date was "locked" and we agreed I'd pay the deposit as soon as she sent a proposal with the details. Four days went by, then Melissa sent me an email saying she could no longer honor the committed date. Very frustrating when working on short time scales during a stressful home sale process.

In the span of aa few hours Judy was able to help me sort out what to keep, what to get rid of. I trusted her taste and opinion. She was very empathetic, yet very pragmatic.

I will have Judy back in the not too distant future. I feel motivated to lighten my household load and judging by my basement, she and I will be spending some hours together.
