Thoughtful support before, during, and after a move — from sorting to settling in.

Free 20-minute phone consultation — tell us what’s going on, no pressure. On-site walkthroughs are $49, credited in full toward your project when you book within 30 days.

Most clutter isn’t caused by laziness or lack of organization. It often follows major life events—moving, caregiving, divorce, loss, retirement, health challenges, busy schedules, or simply years of accumulated belongings. We help people take the first step and build momentum.
What We Do
Thoughtful support before, during, and after a move — from sorting to settling in.
Practical systems that make everyday life easier to manage and easier to maintain.
Compassionate help sorting through a lifetime of belongings after loss or change.
Trash, donations, and recycling handled start to finish — sorted first, so nothing worth keeping ends up in a dumpster.
Pricing
Most organizing companies won’t tell you until you’re on the phone. We’d rather you know now.
All projects are billed per organizer, per hour, with a four-hour minimum. Hauling and disposal are priced separately, below — you’re never paying an organizing rate for someone to drive a truck.
Half day · 1–2 organizers
$340–$680
A good starting point if you're not sure yet.
Half to full day · 3 organizers
$1,000–$2,500
Our most common project.
Multiple days · Quoted by phase
$85 per organizer, per hour
You'll know the cost of the next step before you commit to it. Never an open-ended bill.
Multiple days · On-site walkthrough required
$125–$165 per organizer, per hour
This work takes more time and specialized training. The rate reflects that, and the walkthrough makes the estimate honest instead of a guess.
Every load is sorted before it leaves. Nothing valuable gets hauled off by accident. Anything reusable is donated to organizations serving people with disabilities, veterans, and people in recovery — delivered where it will actually be used, not dumped.
Ongoing · Custom
Life gets busy. Your systems shouldn’t fall apart because you had a hard month.
Regular maintenance visits help keep your home functional, organized, and easy to manage between larger projects. We’ll reset spaces, put systems back in place, tackle clutter before it grows, and adjust your organization as life changes.
Perfect for busy families, executive functioning challenges, professionals, caregivers, and anyone who wants ongoing support without starting over every few months.
Getting started: A free 20-minute phone call, no pressure. If it sounds like a fit, we schedule an on-site walkthrough — $49, credited in full toward your project when you book within 30 days.
We don’t start work without a written estimate you’ve approved. No surprises, ever.

Why The Calm Home
The Calm Home specializes in helping people navigate the difficult middle ground between keeping everything and throwing everything away.
As members of NAPO and holders of specialized certifications in ADHD and Hoarding, we bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every project.
You decide what stays. You decide what goes.
Compassion first. Progress second. Judgement never.
Before we arrive. A twenty-minute phone call. No pressure, no sales pitch. If it sounds like a fit, we schedule a walkthrough.
The walkthrough. About an hour. We look at the spaces, talk about what you want these rooms to do again, and work through one small area together — a drawer, a box — so we can estimate honestly instead of guessing. Written quote within 48 hours.
Day one. We arrive with a fully insured, background-checked team. We start where you're most comfortable, not where things are worst. You make every decision about your own belongings.
As we go. Trash goes out. Donations get delivered. You'll see the difference before we leave the first day.
When we finish. You'll have systems built around how you actually live — not how a magazine says you should.
We know that letting someone into your home can be the hardest part of this.
Our team signs confidentiality agreements. We don’t photograph your home without your written permission. We don’t discuss clients — with anyone, ever.
If you’d rather we park down the street, arrive in an unmarked vehicle, or work with the blinds closed, just ask. We do it often, and nobody on our team will think twice.
You are not the worst thing we’ve seen. You’re not close.

Kind Words
“I never thought I would ever see our dining room table again. The Calm Home team is one of the best crews with whom we have ever worked—successfully blending three separate households into one usable, organized household. We've already contracted them for Phase Two. 5+ stars if we could!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Beth and her team organized three rooms for me in one day, then came back to haul out the trash and donations. It would have taken me weeks alone. Worth every penny.”
“Everyone was very helpful and efficient. I appreciated all your help!”
Giving Back
Whenever possible, we donate, recycle, and responsibly rehome belongings to veterans, people in recovery, and families in transition.
You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to know where to start. You just need a starting point. Let’s create one together.
