Frequently asked questions.

  • We offer a thirty minute free in-person consultation. During this time, we will sit down with you to discuss: your vision and goals, any issues or difficulties you are having with the space, products to be used, and your overall budget. While we are at your home, we will take photos of the project (upon your approval - photos are always confidential) and gather the information we need to create a quote. Upon approval of the estimate, we will send you our service agreement and client intake forms with additional information. Once we receive the project deposit, we will send you date options and book you into our schedule.

  • We typically book around three weeks out. If you have a time sensitive project (move-in/out), please reach out as soon as possible. We will do our absolute best to accommodate you! Note: some moving companies can require up to three months notice.

  • There are so many factors to consider (e.g. scope of the project, square footage, amount to declutter, your goals for the space, time to complete, etc.), and every project is unique. Our hourly rate is $80 for two lead organizers. A personalized quote will be provided following your free in-home consultation.

  • During our consultation, we will recommend suitable products for you to choose from. We will include the required products in our quote. For larger purchases (shelving units, for example), we will require a deposit before purchasing.

  • If your products fit the project and work with the methods we create, sure! If not, we can make suggestions on how to repurpose.

  • Definitely longer than tv shows make it seem! There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer as each space is unique to the client. It is entirely dependent on the space, your needs, and the methods we implement. We will work with you to achieve your organizational goals. And we will create a method that is realistic and manageable to maintain. We also offer maintenance plans: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.

  • We highly suggest being there to declutter with us deciding what items you’d like to keep or donate. But we can absolutely do our job if you can’t/would prefer not to be present. Generally, we work alone after the declutter phase has been completed. We can check in throughout the day virtually, by phone, or by text/email - whatever works for you!

  • No way! Ultimately, you are in control. We can be as hands-on or off as you’d like us to be during the purging/decluttering process.

  • We can help with a declutter + pack up using our methods. We also offer unpacking and organizing services in your new space. We even facilitate coordination with the moving company to streamline the process for you. We love these projects!

  • While we are passionate about helping people declutter and organize their spaces, our services are best suited for individuals seeking assistance with general organization, decluttering, and home optimization. We currently do not take on projects that involve severe hoarding situations, as these require specialized expertise and resources beyond our scope of services. If you are dealing with a more complex situation, we encourage you to reach out, and we can refer you to professionals who specialize in those areas.

  • We can refer you to great moving companies in your area, and coordinate dates. But, ultimately, the contract is between you and the company, and you will pay them directly.

  • We have liability insurance to protect us all.

  • Yes, absolutely. We respect your home and your privacy. We can provide non-disclosure agreements, if required.

  • We can cover a lot of ground! We generally work in Wellington County, but will travel to Halton region, Peel region and Toronto.

  • You can email us at hello@homemethod.ca or use the contact form located here. Please include details about your project, if possible.
