What these services typically do

- Sort + declutter (keep / donate / recycle / trash) and set up functional systems (closets, pantry, garage, basement, home office).
- Pack/unpack and move-prep or downsizing support.
- Coordinate donation pickups, disposal or resale of unwanted items (many will charge coordination fees or require you to arrange bulk removal). (Decluttering.ca)
Typical pricing and session logistics (what to expect)
- Pricing models: hourly rates, flat project packages, or day rates. Two-organizer teams can be more expensive but finish faster. Example rates from local providers range widely — some list single-organizer hourly rates (~$55/hr in one listing) while boutique teams list combined rates (example: $160–$180/hr for two organizers). Always confirm whether listed rates include HST, travel, donations coordination or disposal fees. (Decluttering.ca)
How to choose the right organizer (quick checklist)
- Experience & specialties: downsizing, hoarding support, seniors, move-prep, KonMari or other methods. (spaceofjoy.ca)
- Rates & team size: do you want one person (cheaper) or a two-person team (faster)? Ask about minimum booking lengths. (whitespaceorganized.com)
- Insurance & references: ask for liability insurance and client references or before/after photos.
- Donation & disposal policy: who arranges bulk pickup and at what cost?
- Comfort & rapport: decluttering is personal — choose someone non-judgmental you feel comfortable with.
Questions to ask when you contact a service
- Do you provide a free/paid consultation? How long is it and what does it include?
- What is your hourly rate or package price, and are there minimum session lengths? Any extra fees (HST, travel, donation coordination)?
- Do you bring supplies (boxes, labels) and a team if needed?
- Can you handle donation pick-up, large-item removal, or disposal? Who pays those fees?
- Do you have insurance and references from Toronto clients?
