Professional Organizing FAQs

A typical day with Space Camp starts at 9am. Our team arrives prepared with starter solutions, planned product, and everything we need to hit the ground running. After a quick walkthrough, we'll align on a timeline for the day and get to work.

We start by pulling everything out of your space and laying items out to sort through together. We'll work with you (or a designated proxy) to decide what stays and what goes, and we'll ask questions about your routines and rhythms so we can build systems that are functional, beautiful, and actually maintainable. Once the big decisions are made, the team can largely work on their own, no need to babysit us! Before we pack up, we do a final walkthrough so you know exactly where everything lives in your newly organized space.

Every project is custom! No two spaces are the same, so we don't do one-size-fits-all pricing. We start with a free phone consultation, followed by a paid site visit. From there, we bill hourly at $300/hour for a two-person team, with each additional organizer at $150/hour. After the site visit, we'll send you a detailed proposal outlining our estimated hours and product costs so you know what to expect before anything begins.

We don't, and honestly it's better for you that way. Every job is genuinely different, and flat rates tend to either shortchange the work or overcharge the client. Instead, we give you a clear hour estimate upfront. Once you approve it, we do our best to stay within that range. Your final invoice will always reflect actual hours worked and product kept, so there are no surprises.

Organizing with Space Camp always starts with a site visit. We will walk through your space(s) with you to discuss what’s currently working and where you could use some help. This is a judgement-free zone and the time to express everything that’s frustrating and annoying about your space. We will take notes, measurements, and photos and will share our ideas about what you could do to get it in shape. This is a paid service because we happily build and share a project proposal that most often includes a full game plan, including specific goals, shopping lists, and designs. The cost of a site visit starts at $500, and we credit a portion of this back to you when you book with us. We are happy to review the details of this on our consult call.

Definitely not! We want to see your space in its natural state (plus, don’t do any extra work on our behalf, you’re too busy for that).

After the site visit, we'll send you a proposal with our estimated labor and product costs. When you're ready to move forward, we collect a deposit of 50% of the estimated labor plus a retainer for product purchases. From there, we'll schedule your project dates, build the right team for your job, and, depending on your space, may pre-design and order shelving, furniture, or other products ahead of time so we're ready to go on day one.

We know you're busy, and we don't need you there the whole time. What we do need is you (or someone you trust) available during the sorting phase to help make decisions about what stays and what goes. Once that's done, you're free to get back to your day, just stay reachable by text or call as we build out your systems. Before we leave, we'll walk you through everything so you feel confident and at home in your newly organized space.

Absolutely. During the site visit we'll talk through your goals and aesthetic, and from there we can go one of two directions: making the most of containers you already own, or sourcing new baskets, bins, and dividers that are perfectly suited to your space and lifestyle. We love finding products that are as functional as they are beautiful — and that actually fit the way you live.

Yes! We really pride ourselves on creating systems that are smart, thoughtful, and designed for how you live your life. As an extra insurance policy, we will train you and/or your household staff in the systems, and we offer regular maintenance plans where a Space Camp team member can drop in to spruce up the space.

Yes! Space Camp Organizing offers interior design as one of our services. What makes our approach unique is how seamlessly design works alongside our organizing expertise. We don’t just make spaces look beautiful, we make sure they function effortlessly for your daily life.

Absolutely! We help plan every step of your move, including coordinating and organizing before you pack up and unpacking when you arrive at your new home. Have art to move? Need help finding a storage unit? We have an extensive list of vendors we can call in for reinforcement. Most importantly, we find a good sort + purge before a move can be extremely beneficial to streamline the process and the budget!

We are based in Los Angeles, CA. We are happy to travel outside of LA for a fee, so please inquire and we’ll see what we can do to accommodate. We can’t wait to work with you!
