Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the Discovery Session?

What happens during the Discovery Session?

We want to offer you VALUE right from the start! We start our services with a Discovery Session which is 45 minute in-home consultation to tour your space and talk through your goals and needs. You'll take away an organization strategy, product recommendations and an understanding of how home organization can make life easier! You are not obligated to book an Organizing Session with us - those tips are yours to keep! 

What can I expect from an Organizing Session?

What can I expect from an Organizing Session?

You can expect a lot of movement. Once we have some goals for your space, your organizer will start to sort, categorize and shift items to set up your space for optimal functionality. We'll share our process and tips as we work. At the end of each session we can take one carload of donations and leave you with optional homework if you’d like to continue our progress afterwards or work on your own in between sessions.

Do I have to pay extra for containers/bins/products?

Do I have to pay extra for containers/bins/products?

You're starting this investment of time, energy and money on organizing and it can be done on ANY budget. We're familiar with a variety of products at different price points or we can get creative with what you already have. Paying extra for products is not required to have an organized space.

Should I clean before the first session?

Should I clean before the first session?

It’s not necessary for you to clean or tidy up before our session. In fact, we’ll do better work if you share ALL your mess, needs and goals. Your authenticity and humility in asking for help is how we’re going to transform your stress and clutter into JOY and GRATITUDE.

How long will it take to organize my space?

How long will it take to organize my space?

It varies! Longer sessions are an option for bigger projects and/or shorter deadlines. A small pantry may take only one session (3 hours), while a whole house might take five or more sessions. I can give you a rough estimate at the Discovery Session. We can also plan one session at a time so you can make your own progress in between sessions and budget accordingly.

Do I need to work directly with the organizer?

Do I need to work directly with the organizer?

It’s up to you! We like working with clients so that you feel empowered by a space you helped create. We also know life is busy and we don't have time for everything, so we're happy to take care of tasks for you. Either way, you will be informed along the way and end up with a decluttered, organized space! Two organizers are required for sessions without the homeowner.

Are your Organizers Insured?

Are your Organizers Insured?

Yes. Our Professional Organizers each carry a general liability policy with coverage of up to $1 million. 

Can I buy a Gift Card for your services?

Do you offer house cleaning services?

Do you offer house cleaning services?

We definitely wipe shelves, pick up trash and can vacuum a space while we’re organizing. If your space could use organizing AND a deep cleaning, there are businesses we recommend for dedicated professional cleaning. They'll do a better job at detailed cleaning.

Are services confidential?

Are services confidential?

We routinely encounter items of a private or personal nature. All interactions with Joyful Spaces are treated as confidential. No personally identifiable information will be shared.

Where can I recycle items or take hazardous waste?

Where can I recycle items or take hazardous waste?

El Paso County publishes an excellent directory of places to recycle batteries, electronics, linens, paint, and about 60 other items! There is also info for disposing hazardous waste like paint, household cleaners, lawn fertilizers and fire extinguishers.
